    摘要: Flow battery systems and control methods are disclosed. The flow battery includes components such as positive electrolyte tank, a negative electrolyte tank, a primary stack having a positive porous electrode and a negative porous electrode separated by a membrane, a power bus linked to the electrodes, an electrolyte pump and an auxiliary stack, etc. The power load on a power bus is monitored and as required pumps are activated if the detected power load on the power bus is greater than a first threshold power load. One of the pumps are deactivated if the detected power load on the power bus is less than a second threshold power load which is lower than the first threshold power load.

    摘要: A control method for fuel cell system capable of executing an idle stop operation is provided, in which operation power generation of a fuel cell is selectively stopped according to a required output of a load and cathode gas is intermittently supplied to the fuel cell during an operation stop. An upper limit value and a lower limit value of an output voltage of the fuel cell during the idle stop operation is set, the cathode gas is intermittently supplied with the output voltage of the fuel cell set at a value between the upper limit value and the lower limit value, a wet/dry state of the fuel cell is detected, a wet/dry appropriate range in which the wet/dry state of the fuel cell during the idle stop operation is appropriate is set, and it is determined whether or not the detected wet/dry state of the fuel cell is within the set wet/dry appropriate range. If the wet/dry state of the fuel cell is determined to be outside the set wet/dry appropriate range, the output voltage of the fuel cell is reset, and the cathode gas is intermittently supplied with the output voltage of the fuel cell set at a value between the upper limit value and lower limit value of the reset output voltage.
