Renewable energies, such as solar and wind power, are increasingly being introduced as alternative energy sources on
a global scale toward a low-carbon society. For the next-generation power system, which uses a large number of these
distributed power generation sources, energy storage technologies will be indispensable. Among the energy storage
technologies, battery energy storage technology is considered to be most viable. In particular, a redox flow battery,
which is suitable for large scale energy storage, has currently been developed at various organizations around the
world. This paper reviews the technical development of the redox flow battery.
