FLOW BATTERY BASED ON REDUNDANCY DESIGN OF SOC DETECTION DEVICES

A method and system for monitoring a state of charge (SOC) of a flow battery system, flow battery based on a redundancy design of an SOC detection device, method and device for determining an actual capacity of the flow battery, and method and system for estimating an input-output characteristic of a flow battery alternating current side, the monitoring method comprising the following steps: determining SOCs of at least two pairs of different monitoring positions, any pair of monitoring positions being as followings: an inside of an anode electrolyte storage tank(2) and an inside of a cathode electrolyte storage tank(3), inside an anode electrolyte outlet pipeline(6) of a stack and inside a cathode electrolyte outlet pipeline(7) of the stack, or inside an anode electrolyte inlet pipeline(8) of the stack and inside a cathode electrolyte inlet pipeline(9) of the stack; and according to the SOCs respectively corresponding to each pair of monitoring positions, acquiring an SOCsumof a flow battery system. The method ensures acquiring an SOC monitoring result timely and accurately, thus facilitating an increase in a usage efficiency of a flow battery, extending the service life of the battery, and accurately managing a flow battery system.
