Study of 10 kW Vanadium Flow Battery Discharge Characteristics
A promising method for estimating battery capacity is based on analyzing present voltage and current values under various load conditions. This paper analyzes the discharge
Battery appearance [7, 8], charge/discharge curves [,, ], open-circuit voltage [10, 11], capacity, and internal resistance [13, 14] are all typical methods for determining the residual value and categorizing batteries.
Flow batteries can be classified using different schemes: 1) Full-flow (where all reagents are in fluid phases: gases, liquids, or liquid solutions), such as vanadium redox flow battery vs semi-flow, where one or more electroactive phases are solid, such as zinc-bromine battery.
The fundamental difference between conventional and flow batteries is that energy is stored in the electrode material in conventional batteries, while in flow batteries it is stored in the electrolyte.
Flow batteries are normally considered for relatively large (1 kWh – 10 MWh) stationary applications with multi-hour charge-discharge cycles. Flow batteries are not cost-efficient for shorter charge/discharge times. Market niches include:
