Current State and the Future of Redox Flow Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage Applications in Indonesia

Redox flow battery energy storage systems (RFB-BESS) have been deployed worldwide since their commercialisation in the late 1990s and are expected to continue to grow, particularly in the Asia Pacific Region, where several large-scale renewable energy projects are in the pipeline.

RFB technology offers scalability, energy-power decoupling capability, and long-cycle life features as a stationary energy storage. Despite the aforementioned advantages, RFB is not yet the first choice for stationary storage applications because there are other technologies that outperform RFB. This report reviews several technical parameters and costs of RFB compared to other BESS technology and PHS as a representative of long-duration and long-term storage technology.
