Modelling Methods for Flow Batteries

Modelling and simulation can play a major role in the design, analysis, control, scale-up and optimisation of a host of technologies, including fuel cells and batteries [1, 2]. Experimental investigations and purely laboratory-based design can be both time consuming and costly. Modelling and simulation are tools that can help to reduce the timescales and financial costs, informing initial designs, rationalising observed phenomena to improve design concepts, and optimising designs or at least narrowing the window in which a search should be conducted in the laboratory.
