Abstract

A system for evaluating a redox flow battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a control unit configured to control the path of a flow channel connected between a detection cell and the redox flow battery or a flow channel connected between the detection cell and an agitator; and an evaluation unit configured to evaluate any one of the state of charge, capacity fade and oxidation number balance of an electrolyte, which is used in the redox flow battery, by measuring a current or voltage of the detection cell based on the controlling of the path by the control unit. According to the present disclosure, the capacity fade problem of a redox flow battery can be quickly coped with by evaluating the information of the positive and negative electrode electrolytes on battery capacity fade and information about the valence balance of the electrolytes in situ.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for evaluating redox flow batteries, and more particularly, to methods for evaluating the in situ state of an electrolyte of a redox flow battery to overcome capacity fade of a redox flow battery and system. Background technique [0002] A redox flow battery refers to an electrochemical energy storage device that stores or releases electrical energy through a redox reaction of ions contained in an electrolyte. A positive electrolyte and a negative electrolyte of a redox flow battery are separated from each other by an electrolyte membrane, and diffusion occurs due to a concentration difference of ions at both ends of the electrolyte membrane. [0003] However, since the diffusion speed of the active material varies depending on the type of the active material, a phenomenon occurs in which the amount of the active material is biased toward either one of the positive electrolyte and the negative elect...
