Method for monitoring the state of a redox flow battery system

Abstract

A method for monitoring the state of a redox flow battery system that includes at least two battery modules connected in series. The method includes the following steps: S1: switching at least one battery module out of the series circuit; S2: discharging at least a partial volume of the electrolyte of the at least one battery module that was switched out of the series circuit in step S1, a potential difference being repeatedly detected, the potential difference being formed between a first potential of the negative electrolyte and a second potential of the positive electrolyte of the at least one battery module that was switched out of the circuit; S3: determining, from the potential difference values detected in step S2, the state of health of the at least one battery module that was switched out of the series circuit in step S1.
