Modeling of a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery for Energy Storage

The objective of this work is to evaluate the technical feasibility and the outcome of using VRB as the energy storage for wind turbine in Taiwan. This work divided into two parts. Part 1 evaluates the power required from wind turbines and energy storage required. Part 2 models an energy storage system made by a vanadium redox flow battery. In the winter season, we need about 6% power produced from wind turbine in couple with 23.1 GWh energy storage capacity. Vanadium redox flow battery is attractive for energy storage application. Its power density and energy density are very low.
