37th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition The validation of this model for the VRFB with experimental data in real operating conditions and at full scale, allowed to validate an equivalent electric circuit model requiring less computational resources, and implementing it within a microgrid EMS. This EMS was tested and the resulting KPIs are consistent with good performance of the overall goal of self-consumption maximization. It resulted in values of SCR and SSR of 67% and 65% (respectively). TBU and FBU, indicators related to battery usage achieved 25% and 27%, to and from battery use respectively, over all the energy flow in the microgrid. With this strategy, a value of GRF of around 16% points to good results, given the PV generation with heavy intermittency due to clouds (Figure 9). The simulated SOC presented low error (Figure 11), pointing to good model performance, thus validating it. Even though it is not an important simulation parameter for real control, since VRFB technology allows to measure this quantity in real time of battery operation, this is an important result for validation of the developed model. The overall results obtained, point to a good approximation of the key parameters by the developed model and a good performance of the energy management strategy, reaching a self-consumption rate of 67%, even with very cloudy days. The way of operating, control and test the battery are crucial aspects to achieve a good match among the simulation model and the real-time response. The developed control was made to achieve the best key- performance indicators and respecting the general operating limits of the battery. 5 CONCLUSIONS Literature lacks optimal VRFB modelling, including ancillaries and power electronics solutions, modelling the electric, chemical and fluid-dynamic parameters according to the electric input and output power requirements. The fact that the VRFB has an online SOC real-time measurement, based on the reference stack voltage, allows a more precise control to be made, regarding other storage technologies, increasing its lifetime and reliability. The presented results validate the developed simplified VRFB model and its implementation within a EMS was fully concluded achieving good final KPIs. Implementing lower computational effort models allows the development of more intelligent energy management strategies, taking into account the optimization of internal battery model operating parameters. Implementing this EMS with fast response times (control loop under 3-5s) enable to deal with rapid intermittency or fast power ramps due to the load characteristics to be supplied. In this work we chose to work with the simplest model with the highest accuracy, and the obtained results are as expected. The aim of the model is to be used in energy management strategies, and the results validate this assumption. Future work can include fine-tuning of internal model parameters and inclusion in other EMS or even EMS for hybrid battery systems. 6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank the support of this work, developed under the European GRECO project, financed by 2020 Horizon under the grant agreement no. 787289.
