碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 車輛工程系 === 106 === To promote the development of green energy industry and mend the electrical power for the instability of regen energy, this study aims to integrate the dynamic metal-particle anode zinc-air flow battery of flow battery, fuel cell, and base metal energy storage. The contents of this research project and the battery system have been divided into three different sectors: (1) Discharge Module: Zinc-air flow battery, composed with addable solid zinc particle and liquid flow electrolyte, improves the reaction efficiency by flow electrolyte to carry fuel and zinc oxide. (2) Charge Module: The substance itself is the electrolyte storage tank of flow battery; it integrates zinc particle OER mechanism to store the electricity in solid zinc particle. (3) Energy Management System: In charge of monitoring the condition of charge and discharge module and deploying the flow between solid particle and liquid flow electrolyte modules. This battery system could refrain from the problems of traditional zinc–air battery such as the unstable structure of metal anode plate, negative cycle life, low power density, and some disadvantageous use for the actual. By modular design, the power and capacity of discharge module can be deployed independently, making the storage system more flexible to meet the needs of any type of storage.
