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.
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.
All vanadium liquid flow battery is a kind of energy storage medium which can store a lot of energy. It has become the mainstream liquid current battery with the advantages of long cycle life, high security and reusable resources, and is widely used in the power field. The vanadium redox flow battery is a “liquid-solid-liquid” battery.
The structure is shown in the figure. The key components of VRB, such as electrode, ion exchange membrane, bipolar plate and electrolyte, are used as inputs in the model to simulate the establishment of all vanadium flow battery energy storage system with different requirements (Fig. 3 ).
The electrode of the all-vanadium flow battery is the place for the charge and discharge reaction of the chemical energy storage system, and the electrode itself does not participate in the electrochemical reaction.
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.
