In numerous energy storage technology, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are widely concerned by all around the world with their advantages of long service life, capacity and power independent design [9, 10].
The battery was tested to assess its performance; it achieved a coulombic efficiency of 97%, a voltage efficiency of 74.5% and an energy efficiency of 72.3%. The battery was used to study the effect of electrolyte flow rate on the overall performance. The results indicated that an increased flow rate increased the capacity.
While all-vanadium flow batteries are theoretically contamination-free, vanadium species can crossover from one battery side to the other, which can hinder the performance.
A dynamic model of the VRFB based on the mass transport equation coupled with electrochemical kinetics and a vanadium ionic diffusion is adopted to determine the optimal flow rate of the vanadium electrolyte by solving an on-line dynamic optimization problem, taking into account the battery capacity degradation due to electrolyte imbalance.
