Abstract
The circulation rates of the electrolyte solutions in a flow battery can impact operating performance. Adjusting the circulation rates can allow improved performance to be realized. Flow battery systems having adjustable circulation rates can include a first half-cell containing a first electrolyte solution, a second half-cell containing a second electrolyte solution, at least one pump configured to circulate the first electrolyte solution and the second electrolyte solution at adjustable circulation rates through at least one half-cell in response to a value of P/I or I/P, and at least one sensor configured to measure net electrical power entering or exiting the flow battery system, and an amount of electrical current passing through the whole cell. I is the electrical power passing through the whole cell. Pis net electrical power exiting the system in a discharging mode, and Pis net electrical power entering the system in a charging mode.
