Its a feature not a Bug
So I have decided to embrace the fact that Fe-Cr batteries operate at a fundamentally higher temperature. But now you'll say it makes no sense to heat the battery, the costs alone would bankrupt me. Let's take a sample system of 1 MW / 10 MWh, If we assume a conservative energy density of 10 Wh/L, Volume of electrolyte (L) = Total energy required / Energy density Volume = 10,000,000Wh / 10 Wh/L =1,000,000 L We would need 1 million liters of electrolyte and calculate the mass of water as by keeping density as 1 kg/L. mass (kg) = volume x density of water m = 1,000,000 L x 1 kg/L = 1,000,000 kg If I take the conservative specific heat of water as 4,187 J/kg·K, s tart with an ambient temperature of 20°C and keep my ΔT as 20°C, Q (heat energy) = m x c x ΔT m = mass of water = 1,000,000 kg , c = specific heat capacity of water = 4,187 J/(kg·K) ΔT = temperature change = 40°C - 20°C = 20 K Q =...
