Integration of vanadium redox battery with PV systems: Modeling and simulation of Vanadium Redox flow batteries based on MATLAB/Simulink

Abstract
Several models have been developed and they are now providing a good understanding of how VRB works. This knowledge is very important to evaluate its performance when applied in an electrical system. This article presents a new VRB model based an electrical equivalent model of VRFB, the effect of flow rate and pump power losses has been considered in modeling the VRFB. The VRFB is connected to a resistive variable load, for discharging and a system PV for charging ...
