Abstract

The invention discloses a charge-discharge control method and system of a redox flow battery and the redox flow battery. The method comprises the following steps of 1, detecting SOC of the redox flow battery; 2, judging whether the SOC of the redox flow battery is between an SOC lower limit and an SOC upper limit or not, if yes, executing the step 3, otherwise executing the step 4; 3, maintaining a voltage of the redox flow battery unchanged; and 4, adjusting the voltage of the redox flow battery to be lower than a first preset voltage when the SOC of the redox flow battery is larger than or equal to the SOC upper limit, and adjusting the voltage of the redox flow battery to be between the first preset voltage and a second preset voltage when the SOC of the redox flow battery is smaller than or equal to the SOC lower limit, wherein the second preset voltage is higher than the first preset voltage. By the method, the problems of side reaction is easy to generate in the redox flow battery under a high SOC condition and capacity attenuation of the redox flow battery caused by high SOC charge for a long time are prevented, and meanwhile, the upper limit of a charging voltage can be increased under a low SOC condition so as to improve charging quantity.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The flow batteries in the prior art have the following problems when charging and discharging: 1. Regardless of the influence of the flow battery on the performance and capacity of the battery at the end of charge (high SOC) and discharge (low SOC), direct charging The charge and discharge are carried out in the way of discharging to the cut-off condition; while the electrochemical polarization and concentration polarization of the flow battery increase at the end of charge and discharge, and the side reactions increase, resulting in the oxidation / reduction of the active material of the flow battery, making the flow battery The irreversible attenuation of the battery capacity affects the long-term operating life and stability of the flow battery; 2. The charge and discharge control method of the flow battery is single, resulting in a limited charge and discharge capacity of the flow battery, which cannot maximize the advantages of the flow battery Such as energy efficiency and capacity performance, etc.
