6 FAQs about [Liquid flow battery stack test]

Can a flow cell be scaled to a stack-scale battery?

More significantly, there exist many issues when scaling up the flow cell toward the stack-scale batteries. In engineering applications, the stack consists of several flow cells that have enlarged active areas, as shown in Fig. 1 d.

What are the characteristics of a flow battery?

A very important characteristic of a flow battery is that its electrolyte is stored in different external storage tanks. The energy storage capacity can be controlled by controlling the capacity of the storage tanks. The electrolyte in the storage tanks is circulated between the tank and the stack to achieve charge discharge reactions.

Do flow battery stacks improve performance?

Some improvements had been incorporated in the new design so an improved performance with the new stacks was as expected. According to recent comparison studies on performance of flow battery products from different manufacturers, VFBs today can achieve much better performance (up to 88% stack energy efficiency) , .

What is a battery test system?

The test system consisted of two electrolyte tanks, an open circuit voltage cell to determine the battery SOC, a thermal management system to control the electrolyte temperature, two variable speed pumps for electrolyte circulation, a bidirectional DC supply to charge/discharge the battery and a BMS to monitor and control the battery operation.

Why is electrolyte flow a problem in a battery stack?

One challenge is that the applicable electrolyte flow rate in stacks is usually much lower than that in the lab-scale batteries for lowering the pressure drop and maintaining the airtightness [27, 32, 33], which leads to inadequate mass transport and large electrochemical polarization.

How to model a flow battery?

It is worth noting that the channel depth and electrode thickness are taken into account to calculate the velocity magnitude and maintain the mass conservation at the boundary of two regions . Another modeling strategy for flow batteries is to simulate the segmented channels/electrodes with connected flow resistances.
