  • the RF battery 10 of the embodiment is juxtaposed to a general power plant, and can be used as a storage battery for the purpose of the countermeasure against the instantaneous drop / blackout and the load leveling.
  • the operating method of the RF battery according to the embodiment can increase the flow rate of the electrolyte, and thus can be suitably used when it is desired that the flow rate is large.
  • the plane area Sf of the frame 22 satisfies the above-described specific ratio range with respect to the plane area Sw of the electrode 13. Therefore, in the RF battery 10 of the embodiment, the surface pressure Pfs acting on the frame 22 can be reduced when the flow of the electrolyte is stopped, and the frame 22 is less likely to be damaged. Further, the RF battery 10 according to the embodiment can increase the flow rate of the electrolytic solution by increasing the fluid pressure while suppressing the breakage of the frame 22, so that the battery performance can be improved or a large capacity battery can be obtained. it can.
  • the frame 22 is damaged although the tightening force W is larger than that of the single cell battery and the surface pressure Pfs at the time of stopping the flow of the electrolyte tends to be larger. It is difficult to do.
  • the operating method of the RF battery according to the embodiment increases the clamping force W according to the hydraulic pressure during operation, so the surface pressure Pfs at the time of suspension of the electrolytic solution tends to be larger, but the above-mentioned specific ratio range In the RF battery 10 provided with the frame 22 satisfying the above, the frame 22 is hard to break. Further, in the above-described method of operating an RF battery, since the fluid pressure is large, the flow rate of the electrolyte can be easily increased, and the battery performance can be improved, or the battery can be applied to a large capacity battery.
