INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR
We are now running an Introductory Seminar on Flow Batteries. The Seminar will be held on Tuesday, 25 June 2013, between 2-5pm, at the O'Callaghan Alexander Hotel. The Seminar will cost €150 and you can opt to attend the Seminar when you register for IFBF 2013 |
SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED
No more oral papers or poster papers will be accepted for IFBF 2013.
We have received a large number of quality papers, many more than the available oral slots in the programme, all authors have been contacted regarding the status of their paper and a provisional list of accepted papers is now available. |
IFBF 2012
The International Flow Battery Forum in 2012 was held in Munich in June 2012. 140 delegates from 23 countries attended the meeting.
An Introductory Seminar was held before the main meeting led by Anthony Price of Swanbarton , and Ian Whyte of Potential Reactions.
A Plenary Meeting of the CENELEC Workshop Agreement for Flow Batteries was held on the morning of Monday 25th

Workshop Agreement for Flow Batteries
Work on Cenelec Workshop 05 "Flow Batteries" is now complete and the Workshop Agreement CW 50611:2013 has now been published. Copies may be obtained from OVE: please follow this link. Click on the side bar "Standards for flow batteries" for further details.
For further information on the Workshop Agreement please contact the secretariat for the workshop agreement, OVE Austria: email r.valenta@ove.at or the the IFBF office info @ flowbatteryforum.com |

A CENELEC Workshop Agreement is a route towards the development of international standards and especially suitable for emerging technologies where rapid agreement will bring early benefits.
Over the past 20 years, the interest in flow battery technology has grown, because of its potential for mass production of low cost, high performance energy storage system capable to be incorporated into large scale devices. As a result of this interest, the IFBF identified the need for a Workshop Agreement on Flow Batteries and has worked with the staff of CENELEC and a number of potential participants to develop the Workshop Agreement. This is intended to be a stepping stone towards a future European and/or international standard.

The International Flow Battery Forum.
You can use this website to browse the programme for this year, and order copies of previous years proceedings by following the link to "IFBF Archive". Proceedings of this years conference will be made available to non delegates approximately one month after the Forum. Please use the menu sidebar to the left to navigate around the site.
Background:
The International Flow Battery Forum brings together developers, researchers and all those with an interest in flow batteries, with the intention to:
- raise the profile of flow batteries as a modern and effective means of electrical energy storage
- promote the latest developments in the science, technology and deployment of flow batteries
- encourage publication of peer reviewed conference papers on all aspects of flow battery technology and deployment
