来自七个欧洲国家的11个合作伙伴共聚一堂，投身于HyFlow研究项目，共同开发一种可兼顾高性能和能源需求的混合氧化还原液流储能系统。为此，科学家们希望将高性能钒氧化还原液流电池与超级电容器相结合。
到2023年，欧盟将为HyFlow项目拨款400万欧元。该项目由Landshut University of Applied Sciences负责协调。Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology（ICT）、Karlsruhe Institute of Technology（KIT）和Bavarian Research Alliance也参与了研究工作。
“氧化还原液流电池具有很大的储能容量，但只能缓慢地充放电，”Landshut University of Applied Sciences能源技术中心科学总监兼项目协调人Karl-Heinz Pettinger解释说。“另一方面，超级电容器的充电时间短，但能量密度低。因此，混合系统的目的是创造出结合两个系统优势的储能系统，即：高储能容量和高性能。”
当电网出现危急情况时，比如高负荷或发电高峰，无论是持续数秒还是全天，混合系统应能够灵活地平衡电力和能源需求。
混合概念的另一个目的是确保更长的使用寿命、高度的适应能力以及降低成本的可能性。创新的管理系统利用计算机分析和控制算法来确保高水平的控制和灵活性。研究人员说，他们特别重视可持续性，目前也正在开发回收利用概念。
在FSTORE研究平台2019年组织的一次会议上提出了该项目想法，也是在这次会议中首次与潜在合作伙伴建立了联系。
