Grant Description

The penetration of renewable energies into the electric grid increases the demand for energy storage to ensure reliable power supply, grid resiliency, and cost reductions.

Long-duration and long-term energy storage (LDES and LTES) can bridge the intermittency of renewable sources and reduce the risks incurred by diminished fossil-fuel baseload generation.

Electrochemical energy storage (EES), or Li-ion batteries (LIBs), are considered for short-duration energy storage (4-6 hours). When talking about seasonal storage, hydrogen storage is usually the preferable option.

The goal of ReZilient is to fill the gap between short-term EES and long-term hydrogen storage by developing and demonstrating at lab-scale (0.5-1.5kW/6kWh) a completely new Zn-air flow battery technology. The estimated capital cost for large-scale deployment is approximately 80 €/kWh, with a levelized-cost-of-storage
