This demonstrates the advantage that the flow batteries employing vanadium chemistry have a very long cycle life. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis was conducted on two of the battery stacks. Some degradation was observed in one of the stacks reflected by the increased charge transfer resistance.
Battery storage systems become increasingly more important to fulfil large demands in peaks of energy consumption due to the increasing supply of intermittent renewable energy. The vanadium redox flow battery systems are attracting attention because of scalability and robustness of these systems make them highly promising.
It is worth noting that no leakages have been observed since commissioned. The system shows stable performance and very little capacity loss over the past 12 years, which proves the stability of the vanadium electrolyte and that the vanadium flow battery can have a very long cycle life.
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].
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.
The results show that the on-line optimization of the vanadium flow rate incorporated with the EKF estimator can enhance the system efficiency (7.4% increase in state of charge) when the VRFB is operated under the intermittent current density.
