Liquid-cooled battery energy storage systems provide better protection against thermal runaway than air-cooled systems. “If you have a thermal runaway of a cell, you’ve got this massive heat sink for the energy be sucked away into. The liquid is an extra layer of protection,” Bradshaw says.
The battery is the main component whether it is a battery energy storage system or a hybrid energy storage system. When charging, the energy storage system acts as a load, and when discharging, the energy storage system acts as a generator set, and it can only discharge and store electricity within a certain temperature range [ 18, 19 ].
However, low temperature will lead to an increase in internal resistance and a decrease in capacity, which in turn will lead to a decrease in battery performance [ 21 ]. Therefore, in order to achieve the best performance of the battery energy storage system, a proper battery thermal management system is required.
Concluding remarks Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is becoming an attractive thermo-mechanical storage solution for decarbonization, with the advantages of no geological constraints, long lifetime (30–40 years), high energy density (120–200 kWh/m 3), environment-friendly and flexible layout.
The implications of technology choice are particularly stark when comparing traditional air-cooled energy storage systems and liquid-cooled alternatives, such as the PowerTitan series of products made by Sungrow Power Supply Company. Among the most immediately obvious differences between the two storage technologies is container size.
