Why liquid-cooled energy storage systems have become the “new favorite” of the new energy industry?

In recent years, liquid-cooled energy storage systems have developed rapidly in the new energy industry and become a major trend in the global energy storage market, so why have liquid-cooled energy storage systems become the “new favorite” in the new energy industry? In this article, GSL Energy analyzes it from multiple dimensions.

First of all, liquid-cooled energy storage system technology optimization leads to.

The core of liquid-cooled energy storage system lies in the thermal management technology, compared with the traditional air-cooled energy storage system, liquid cooling through the coolant directly in contact with the electric core, to achieve precise temperature control (the temperature difference can be controlled within 3 ℃) and efficient heat dissipation (heat transfer coefficient of up to 1,000 ~ 50,000, far more than the air-cooled 25 ~ 100)

The second is the development of liquid-cooled energy storage systems driven by market demand.

In recent years, the high demand for global energy transition, wind power, photovoltaic, and other intermittent power sources has accounted for an increase in the proportion of the urgent need for large-scale, long-cycle energy storage systems to balance the grid fluctuations. Liquid-cooled technology's high power density and full temperature range operation capability (-40℃~60℃) are perfectly suited for.

Third: Liquid-cooled energy storage systems last longer.

Although the initial investment cost of a liquid-cooled system is very high, its cycle life is long, such as the 125K232kWh AC-coupled liquid-cooled energy storage system researched and developed by GSL Energy, and its service life can reach 15-20 years.

Energy consumption is reduced. With liquid-cooled energy storage systems, rotating parts such as fans are greatly reduced, and the consumables of the whole system are reduced by 30% to 50%. Finally, its operation and maintenance costs are also decreasing, as the liquid-cooled energy storage system adopts a templated design, which supports non-stop maintenance during operation, and the height cost is greatly reduced.

Finally, the liquid-cooled energy storage system is more flexible in its use of scenarios, suitable for centralized power stations to diversified scenarios.

For large centralized energy storage, a liquid-cooled energy storage system supports multiple parallel connections to increase capacity, such as GSL Energy CESS125K232kWh , which supports more than 10 parallel connections, and the maximum capacity reaches more than 2 MWh, and it is suitable for desert, mountain, and other complex terrain.

Industrial and commercial energy storage , large factories, data centers, industrial parks, and other places with large power loads can realize peak shaving and valley filling, reduce power costs, ensure uninterrupted power supply for critical loads, and improve energy efficiency.GSL Energy 80K418kWh liquid cooling energy storage all-in-one machine supports plug-and-play, a short installation period, and can be put into use quickly.

Grid-side energy storage : The liquid-cooled energy storage system supports various functions such as frequency regulation, peak regulation, standby capacity, black start, etc., which can enhance the stability and reliability of the power grid, and also serve as a distributed power supply to access the microgrid or distribution grid system.

Communication base stations and remote areas : liquid-cooled system adapts to high temperature, desert, and other harsh environments; it is used for energy security in communication base stations, border guard posts, and remote mining areas; it extends battery life and reduces maintenance frequency.

Integration of household use and optical storage and charging, an electric vehicle charging station: Acts as an energy storage hub to alleviate the impact on the power grid; works with fast charging piles to achieve a stable power supply during peak hours; has a fast response and high power output capability.GSL Energy's latest product: GSL-100(DC50)(215kWh)(EV120), This integrated solution combines a photovoltaic (PV) power generation system, energy storage unit, and EV charging functionality into a single system. and EV charging functionality into a single, compact device.

The above four points express why liquid-cooled energy storage systems have become the “new favorite” of the new energy industry, and there is a saying in the industry that “whoever masters liquid cooling, masters energy storage”. There is a saying in the industry that “whoever masters liquid cooling, whoever masters the future of energy storage”, which also further indicates that the development of the liquid cooling system is the market trend.
