A Simulation Framework to Support the Deployment of Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
Abstract
This work presents a simulation framework to support Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries deployment. First, an electrical equivalent model of a commercial three-stack, 20 kW VRFB is implemented to capture the battery dynamics. Next, a topology of a power electronics-based solution to integrate a VRFB is introduced, and the effectiveness of the control system is evaluated through battery charging and discharging operation under varying conditions. The results provide insights into power and voltage levels, demonstrating that the series-connected architecture can alleviate the voltage boost on the interface power electronics converter. Additionally, efficiency and temperature-critical factors for VRFB system deployment-are also analyzed.
