Discussion of the Performance of VRB Based on Modeling by Using EKF to Estimate SOC

Abstract:

There are several ongoing researchers on searching for an appropriate model to describe the characteristic of Vanadium redox flow batteries(VRB) .Based on one of these models, a SOC estimator of VRB- Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is advanced. And then, update the VRB model by using EKF to estimate SOC when simulation in SIMULINK. At last, the effects of the temperature and operating current on performance of VRB, including battery capacity, output voltage, efficiencies are discussed.
