Development of a 0.1 kW power accumulation pilot plant based on an Fe/Cr redox flow battery Part I. Considerations on flow-distribution design

Abstract The design of a flow-distribution system for a 0.1 kW Fe/Cr redox flow battery has been based on the application of shunt current calculation model to a 20-cell bipolar system A model to simulate the intra-stack flow distribution has also been proposed. Both shunt-current and flow distribution analysis have yielded a prototype with a 93% current efficiency with an homogenous intrastack flow distribution.
