When the solution comes in contact with the sunlight, the atoms inside it rearrange and change the shape, turning the molecule to turn into an energy-rich isomer. Fusing the liquid solar energy storage solution with a thermoelectric generator -- an ultra-thin chip -- researchers could re-harness the power.
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will hear about the utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) market trends and investigate how Jinko Solar’s liquid cooled ESS can help achieve a lower levelized cost of storage (LCOS) for utility-scale applications.
In its latest grid-scale BESS product, Chinese solar industry heavyweight Jinko Solar has turned to liquid cooling to deliver system improvements. Its SunTerra battery is said to be suitable for a variety of applications and designed in excess of normal safety standards.
He will demonstrate how the manufacturer’s liquid cooled ESS can help achieve a lower LCOS for utility-scale applications and translate into more money for investors, developers, and owners of grid-scale BESS projects alike.
Compared to previously ubiquitous air cooling method, liquid cooling is said to be better geared to deal with temperature-related challenges and able to significantly reduce the required land footprint – a particularly important consideration in regions facing land constraints.
