Abstract
A flow battery has a control system and a control method to control the operation of the flow battery. The control method includes disposing an SOC detection device respectively at a positive electrolyte outlet and a negative electrolyte outlet of a cell stack; obtaining, by the SOC detection devices, SOCs at the electrolyte outlets of the cell stack under an initial state of the flow battery; at every preset time, acquiring the volume of electrolyte in the positive electrolyte storage tank, the volume of electrolyte in the negative electrolyte storage tank, the volume of the electrolyte flowing into the positive electrolyte storage tank, and the volume of the electrolyte flowing into the negative electrolyte storage tank, and meanwhile, obtaining, by the SOC detection devices, SOCs at the electrolyte outlets of the cell stack; and obtaining SOC of the flow battery.
