Abstract: The present invention relates to a redox flow battery, and more particularly, to a redox flow battery which is charged and discharged by supplying a positive electrolyte and a negative electrolyte to a battery cell using an active material containing vanadium and a cation exchange membrane, in which the positive electrolyte and the negative electrolyte contain vanadium ions as active ions, the difference in volume between the positive electrolyte and the negative electrolyte is maintained at 10% or less, and the total concentration of anions in the negative electrolyte is higher than the total concentration of anions in the positive electrolyte, whereby the transfer of water in the battery is controlled and a change in the volume of the electrolytes is minimized.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling operation of a redox flow battery. The method of controlling operation of a redox flow battery includes obtaining a diffusivity of anolyte ions with respect to a separator, obtaining a diffusivity of catholyte ions with respect to the separator, determining electrolyte diffusivities depending upon a state of charge value of the redox flow battery based on the diffusivity of the anolyte ions and the diffusivity of the catholyte ions, determining a minimum state of charge value and a maximum state of charge value of the redox flow battery based on the electrolyte diffusivities, and setting operating conditions of the redox flow battery based on the minimum state of charge value and the maximum state of charge value. The method and apparatus for controlling operation of a redox flow battery can prevent reduction in capacity of the redox flow battery.
