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.
The total energy consumption includes the energy consumptions of the cabinets, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), cooling system, lighting system, power transfer, and distribution system. The PUE of the liquid cooling data centers can usually be reduced to below 1.3 [6, 7].
The advantages of liquid cooling ultimately result in 40 percent less power consumption and a 10 percent longer battery service life. The reduced size of the liquid-cooled storage container has many beneficial ripple effects. For example, reduced size translates into easier, more efficient, and lower-cost installations.
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.
However, the implementation of this solution requires a suitable energy storage method. Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) has emerged as a promising energy storage method due to its advantages of large-scale, long-duration energy storage, cleanliness, low carbon emissions, safety, and long lifespan.
The reduced size of the liquid-cooled storage container has many beneficial ripple effects. For example, reduced size translates into easier, more efficient, and lower-cost installations. “You can deliver your battery unit fully populated on a big truck. That means you don’t have to load the battery modules on-site,” Bradshaw says.
