3.1.3. Sustainable power
SBES system is considered to be in steady state, when the power
generated is equal to the power consumed for an extensive period
of time. With the function of applied RE, relative decrease in anode
potential (RDAP) is employed to assess highest sustainable power,
which can be calculated using the initial anodic potential (Eo,anodic)
and anodic potentials at each applied RE as shown in Eq. (1).
