Abstract
This paper offers an explanation for the previously observed saturation of the open circuit voltage of a reverse electrodialysis cell with the increas e of the number of bipolar membranes in it as a cumulative effect of electr ic leaks of single bipolar membranes wired in the cell. A simple equivalent circuit model of the cell is proposed and analyzed, yielding the aforement ioned saturation effect.
