Abstract

Moving from fossil fuel power generation to renewable energy generation brings a number of challenges that must be addressed. Generating energy intermittently is one of the main problems of renewable energy sources, requiring energy storage systems to be able to respond to demand when energy is not being generated. There are many types of energy storage systems. Among them, one of the most interesting in the last decades has been vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) because of their long lifetime and scalability. The performance of VRFBs is affected by many different parameters, including the electrolyte flow rate. This paper presents a performance study of a VRFB battery operating with different charge and discharge currents and different electrolyte flow rates. The experiments were carried out using numerical models that model the mass transfer dynamics, the hydraulic system to calculate pressure losses and the shunt currents of a VRFB.

流动因子对钒氧化还原液流电池性能的影响研究

从化石燃料发电转向可再生能源发电带来了许多必须解决的挑战。间歇性发电是可再生能源的主要问题之一，这要求储能系统能够在不发电时响应需求。有许多类型的储能系统。其中，钒氧化还原液流电池（vrfb）因其长寿命和可扩展性而在过去几十年里备受关注。vrfb的性能受到许多不同参数的影响，包括电解液流速。本文对VRFB电池在不同充放电电流和不同电解液流速下的性能进行了研究。实验采用数值模型模拟传质动力学，计算液压系统的压力损失和VRFB的分流电流。
