610 Amjed Hina Fathima et al. / Energy Procedia 117 (2017) 607–614 4 Fathima AH and Palanisamy K/ Energy Procedia 00 (2017) 000–000 tanks gives the energy capacity of the battery. The battery can be instantly charged by simply filling up of electrolyte liquid into the tanks. The power capacity will, however, depend on the area of electrode contact available within the cells. Hence, the inter-dependability between energy and power capacities is reduced making them flexible to design and operate. 3. Modeling of the PV-VRB HRES System in Matlab/SIMULINK Fig.1. Block diagram of VRB battery 3.1 Modeling of a VRB Battery: A VRB battery is modelled as shown in Fig.1. The model evaluates the stack voltages, currents and parasitic and internal resistances of the battery. These parameters determine the operating characteristics of the VRB system. Internal losses are all current losses occurring inside the battery cell due to electrolyte contamination, electrode and membrane resistance and losses in electrons during passage between cells. Parasitic losses, on the other hand, are more concerned with external resistances in electrolyte circulation system. The following equations are used in modeling of the VRB system. The battery is modelled as a controlled voltage source by evaluating its cell stack voltage given by RT SOC Vstack Veq 2 ln  V n.V F 1SOC; eq cell (2) ThevoltageoftheVRBcellismodeledasacontrolledvoltagesourceusingeq.(2).

Intrinsic losses include mass transport resistance, kinetic resistance, resistance offered by the membrane, electrodes and conduction plates. Extrinsic losses are fixed losses occurring in the external circuitry and the pumps.
