Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) adalah jenis baterai sekunder yang relatif baru yang memiliki kemampuan sebagai Energy Storage System (ESS) untuk pembangkit listrik energi terbarukan seperti solar cell. Sel tunggal VRFB 2D dimodelkan menggunakan software COMSOL Multiphysics dan disimulasikan secara numerik menggunakan Nernst-Planck, distribusi arus sekunder, distribusi arus tersier dan prinsip Buttler-Volmer. Simulasi dilakukan pada 293,15 K, dengan variasi ketebalan elektroda 1 mm (L1), 2 mm (L2), 3 mm (L3), 4 mm (L4) dan 5 mm (L5). Berdasarkan hasil simulasi diketahui bahwa potensial elektrolit pada elektroda negatif lebih tinggi dari pada elektroda positif dan distribusinya cenderung menurun untuk semua variasi. Konsentrasi permukaan dekat kolektor dominan selama pengisian dibandingkan posisi inlet dan fenomena sebaliknya terjadi selama proses pengosongan. VRFB L1 menunjukkan kinerja yang lemah dan VRFB L2 menunjukkan kinerja terbaik dalam hal potensial elektrolit dan molaritas spesies di permukaan elektroda.KATA KUNCI: Baterai aliran vanadium redoks; Distribusi arus tersier; Ketebalan elektroda; Potensi elektrolit.ABSTRACT−Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) is a relative new type of secondary battery that has ability as Energy Storage System (ESS) for renewable energy power plants such as solar cell. 2D VRFB single cell was modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics software and simulated numerically by using Nernst-Planck, secondary current distribution, tertiary current distribution and Buttler-Volmer principle. Simulation was conducted at 293,15 K, with electrode thickness variations of 1 mm (L1), 2 mm (L2), 3 mm (L3), 4 mm (L4) and 5 mm (L5). According to the simulation results, it is known that electrolyte potential in negative electrode is higher than positive electrode and the distribution is tend to decrease for all variations. Surface concentration near collector is dominant during charging compare inlet position and the reverse phenomenon occur during discharging process. VRFB L1 show weak performance and VRFB L2 show the best performance in term of electrolyte potential and species molarity in the electrode surface.
Energy storage systems (ESS) with large storage capabilities, easy made, and low cost are in high demand. Dynamic lead acid battery (DLAB) as a breakthrough design compared conventional lead acid batteries offers a solution to these problems. Two Dimensional (2D) DLAB simulations with surface area variations of 8 cm2, 12 cm2, 16 cm2 and 20 cm2 were successfully build using the principle of tertiary current distribution and Nerst-Planck Interface. The results for one cycle charge-discharge test showed that the increase in surface area succeeded in increasing the final charging voltage with a value of 2.16 V; 2, 21 V; 2.30 V and 2.32 V and increase the initial discharging voltage by a value of 1.58 V; 1.59 V; 1.60 V and 1.62 V respectively but did not affect the electrode surface concentration. Dynamic lead acid battery has high energy efficiency of 70.6% -71.5%.
