Referring to FIG. 8, it can be seen that one embodiment has a higher discharge amount (voltage) when the frequency and rpm control FR are performed in parallel with the rpm control R. FIG.
- the comparative example and one embodiment show the module efficiency as shown in Table 3 and Table 4 when the speed and frequency control of the anode and cathode electrolyte pumps Pa and Pc are performed in parallel with the length ratio La: Lc of the electrolyte inflow line.
- the optimum frequency and rpm control of the electrolyte pumps Pa and Pc are performed according to the ratio La: Lc of the lengths La and Lc, so that the torque of the electrolyte pumps Pa and Pc motors is constant. Therefore, even when the viscosity of the electrolyte varies during charging and discharging of the redox flow battery, the flow rate of the electrolyte can be controlled. This increases the reaction area of the electrode with the electrolyte, increases the discharge amount (current), and stabilizes the flow rate of the electrolyte.
