Abstract:

Flow batteries are regarded as a good contender for large-scale energy storage in grid applications. As flow battery technology has improved in the last decade, engineers now demand advanced modeling and simulation tools to assist the conventional experimental approaches to realize fast and efficient development of flow battery systems. In this study, recent advances in modeling and simulation of flow batteries are comprehensively reviewed, with a particular emphasis on numerical modeling and dynamic simulation of stack and module. Finally, future prospects for simulation technology for flow batteries are also discussed.

Key words: flow batteries, stack, module, Numerical simulation, dynamic modelling
