This thesis aims to develop hydraulic, electrochemical and coupled stack and system models for flow batteries. Researchers are searching for next-generation battery materials, and this thesis presents a systems analysis encompassing static and moving electrode architectures that identifies which. . Flow batteries have been rapidly developing for large-scale energy storage applications due to their safety, low cost and ability to decouple energy and power. However, the high cost of large-scale experimental research has been a major hurdle in this development. As a result, modelling the stack. . The design principle of flow fields is to maximize the distribution uniformity of electrolytes at a minimum pumping work. A significant benefit is that the charged fluids can be stored in containers, significantly extending the energy storage capacity.
