Title: Development of intermittent redox flow battery for PV system

Abstract

Redox flow battery has been developed as a storage device for photovoltaic systems. The pump loss is the greatest problem for redox flow battery under the low current condition. An intermittent flow redox battery has been developed for the reduction of the pump loss. The experimental results of this battery show that the efficiency under the intermittent pump operation increases higher than the continuous pump operation. Moreover, inert gas bubble technology has been introduced to improve the performance under the high current condition. It is clear from the experiments that this technology increases the efficiencies. The simulation results of these technologies are coincident with experimental results. It is shown by the simulation that they can improve the Faradic and energy efficiencies of a number of stacks in series.
