What is a vanadium redox-flow-battery model?

A vanadium-redox-flow-battery model for evaluation of distributed storage implementation in residential energy systems. IEEE T Energy Conver 2015; 30 (2):421-430. Ontiveros LJ, Mercado PE. Modeling of a vanadium redox flow battery for power system dynamic studies. Int J Hydrogen Energ 2014; 39:8720-8727.

Why is vanadium used in a battery?

Vanadium exists in four oxidation states and this very concept is used in the battery forstoring and liberating electrons. Usage of same metal ions reduces the risk of contamination of the membrane and electrodes.

Is the vanadium-redox-flow-system a promising candidate for photovoltaic energy storage?

1. Introduction The vanadium-redox-flow-system has received considerable attention during the last years , , , as a promising candidate for the storage of photovoltaic energy due to its various advantages—the most important of which is the occurrence of only vanadium species at both electrodes.
