Efficiencies at various currents. The cycle starts at 2.5% SoC, the battery is charged until a 97.5% SoC and then discharged until a 2.5% SoC. Experimental data are from (Skyllas-Kazacos & Menictas, 1997). At the beginning of the cycle, the battery state of charge SoC is 2.5% (discharged); the battery is charged at constant current until a SoC of 97.5% and then discharged until it reached its initial SoC. The resulting stack voltages Ustack and power Pstack are illustrated in Fig. 8 and the efficiencies are summarized in Tab. 4 along with experimental data. We observe quickly that the efficiencies decrease as the current increases. 35 30 25 20 15 40 30 20 10 Charge and discharge cycle |I|=10 [A] |I|=20 [A] |I|=40 [A] |I|=60 [A] |I|=80 [A] |I|=100 [A] 0 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 time [h] Charge and discharge cycle at 40A 0 0 6 12 time [h] Fig. 8. Stack voltages during charge/discharge cycles at diverse currents. Below: stack voltage, current and power at 40A. The voltage efficiencies ηvoltage are accurately determined by the model; the difference with the experimental data always stays below 2%. The losses in coulombic efficiency ηcoulombic can be caused by side reactions or cross mixing of electrolyte through the membrane which are not taken into account in the model; note that ηcoulombic has improved as the battery becomes conditioned.
