Abstract: Progress in renewable energy production has directed interest in advanced developments of energy storage systems. The all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is one of the attractive technologies for large scale energy storage due to its design versatility and scalability, longevity, good round-trip efficiencies, stable capacity and safety. Despite these advantages, the deployment of the vanadium battery has been limited due to vanadium and cell material costs, as well as supply issues. Improving stack power density can lower the cost per kW power output and therefore, intensive research and development is currently ongoing to improve cell performance by increasing electrode activity, reducing cell resistance, improving membrane selectivity and ionic conductivity, etc. In order Citation: Ghimire, P.C.; Bhattarai, A.; to evaluate the cell performance arising from this intensive R&D, numerous physical, electrochemical Lim, T.M.; Wai, N.; Skyllas-Kazacos, and chemical techniques are employed, which are mostly carried out ex situ, particularly on cell M.; Yan, Q.

Currently, several redox flow batteries have been presented as an alternative of the classical ESS; the scalability, design flexibility and long life cycle of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) have made it to stand out. In a VRFB cell, which consists of two electrodes and an ion exchange membrane, the electrolyte flows through the electrodes where the electrochemical reactions take place. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are a very powerful tool to develop feasible numerical models to enhance the performance and lifetime of VRFBs. This review aims to present and discuss the numerical models developed in this field and, particularly, to analyze different types of flow fields and patterns that can be found in the literature.

    Membranes and Electrodes for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries by Liuyue Cao M.E. in Material Science and Engineering A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Chemical Engineering The University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia December 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Cao First name: Liuyue Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Chemical Engineering Faculty: Engineering Title: Membrane and Electrode Materials for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) An Important Issue that has limited the more widespread deployment of the vanadium redox flowbattery (VRFB) technology to date Is the relatively high capital cost. Economic analysis reveals that a high current design with decreased stack size and low--0ost alternative membranes can dramatically reduce the cell cost. To address this, the thesis has (1) evaluated three alternative commercial ion exchange membranes by experimental measurement and mathematic simulation, (2) studied the vanadium redox reaction kinetics on various electrode surfaces to elucidate the effect of surface area and surface functional groups, and (3) developed two approaches to reduce the activation overpotential of the carbon paper electrodes in "zero-gap" cell architecture for high power densities operation. The main results Include: (1) The chemical and mechanical stability, vanadium penneation rates and cell perfonnance of Fumasep� FAP-450 (anion exchange membrane), Fumasep� F930-rfd (cation exchange membrane) and VB2 (cation exchange membrane) were evaluated in the VRFB. Simulations were conducted with experimental data to predict the capacity loss and thennal behaviour of the cells during long-tenn operation.

  • Catalytic Production of Impurity-Free V3.5+ Electrolyte for Vanadium Redox flow Batteries
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12363-7 OPEN Catalytic production of impurity-free V3.5+ electrolyte for vanadium redox flow batteries Jiyun Heo1, Jae-Yun Han2, Soohyun Kim1, Seongmin Yuk1, Chanyong Choi1, Riyul Kim1, Ju-Hyuk Lee1, Andy Klassen3, Shin-Kun Ryi2* & Hee-Tak Kim 1,4* The vanadium redox flow battery is considered one of the most promising candidates for use in large-scale energy storage systems. However, its commercialization has been hindered due 1234567890():,; to the high manufacturing cost of the vanadium electrolyte, which is currently prepared using a costly electrolysis method with limited productivity. In this work, we present a simpler method for chemical production of impurity-free V3.5+ electrolyte by utilizing formic acid as a reducing agent and Pt/C as a catalyst. With the catalytic reduction of V4+ electrolyte, a high quality V3.5+ electrolyte was successfully produced and excellent cell performance was achieved. Based on the result, a prototype catalytic reactor employing Pt/C-decorated carbon felt was designed, and high-speed, continuous production of V3.5+ electrolyte in this manner was demonstrated with the reactor. This invention offers a simple but practical strategy to reduce the production cost of V3.5+ electrolyte while retaining quality that is adequate for high-performance operations. 1 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, 291, Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Republic of Korea. 2 Advanced Materials and Devices Laboratory, Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), 152 Gajeong-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Republic of Korea. 3 Avalon Battery, 3070 Osgood Ct Fremont, Fremont, CA 94539, USA.

This paper proposes an optimal charging method of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB)-based energy storage system, which ensures the maximum harvesting of the free energy from RESs by maintaining safe operations of the battery. The VRB has a deep discharging capability, long cycle life, and high energy efficiency with no issues of cell-balancing, which make it suitable for large-scale energy storage systems. The proposed approach determines the appropriate charging current and the optimal electrolyte flow rate based on the available time-varying input power. Moreover, the charging current is bounded by the limiting current, which prevents the gassing side-reactions and protects the VRB from overcharging. The proposed optimal charging method is investigated by simulation studies using MATLAB/Simulink.

  • Vanadium Redox Flow Battery
    VANADIUM REDOX FLOW BATTERY Sizing of VRB in electrified heavy construction equipment NATHAN ZIMMERMAN School of Business, Society and Engineering Supervisor: Javier Campillo, Bobbie Frank Course: Degree Project Date: 2014-07-13 Course code: ERA401 Email: [email protected] Subject: Energy Engineering HE credits: 30 Program: Master of Science Program in Sustainable Energy Systems ABSTRACT In an effort to reduce global emissions by electrifying vehicles and machines with internal combustion engines has led to the development of batteries that are more powerful and efficient than the common lead acid battery. One of the most popular batteries being used for such an installation is lithium ion, but due to its short effective usable lifetime, charging time, and costs has driven researcher to other technologies to replace it. Vanadium redox flow batteries have come into the spotlight recently as a means of replacing rechargeable batteries in electric vehicles and has previously be used mainly to store energy for load leveling. It possesses many qualities that would be beneficial to electrify vehicles. The battery has the ability for power and energy to be sized independently which is not dissimilar to internal combustion vehicles. It also has the potential for a tolerance to low discharges, fast response time, and can quickly be refueled by replacing the electrolyte; just like is done when a car refuels at the gas station. The purpose of the study is to determine the possibility of using vanadium redox flow batteries to power heavy construction equipment, a wheel loader, with a finite amount of space available for implementation. A model has been designed in MATLAB to determine how long the battery could last under typically applications for the wheel loader which needs a peak power of 200 kW.

The study included portable batteries based on nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion. Energy return factors and overall energy efficiencies were calculated for a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV)-battery system under different operating conditions. Eight different battery technologies for stationary energy storage were evaluated: lithium-ion (Ni), sodium-sulphur, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, lead- acid, polysulphide-bromide, vanadium redox and zinc-bromine.
