Modeling the Vanadium Oxygen Fuel Cell
Publié en 2013
A two-dimensional stationary model of a vanadium oxygen fuel cell is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics®. This energy storage device combines a vanadium flow battery anode and an oxygen fuel cell cathode. The oxygen reduction reaction generates additional water, leading to a degradation of the catalyst performance over time. A logistic function is introduced to the Butler-Volmer equation in order to model this degradation. The model can then be used in a semi-transient way, thus saving computational time over a fully transient model.
