What is a cluster-level immersion cooling lithium-ion battery energy storage system?

In this study, a 372 kW/372 kWh cluster-level immersion cooling lithium-ion battery energy storage system was proposed. The system consists of 416 pieces of 280Ah LiFePO 4 batteries, with the entire cluster immersed in coolant. The 10# transformer oil, silicone oil-5cSt, and natural ester RAPO are selected as the immersion coolant.

Can immersion cooling improve China's Energy Security?

Its operation marks a successful application of immersion cooling technology in new-type energy storage projects and is expected to contribute to China's energy security and stabilization and its green and low-carbon development. Developed by China Southern Power Grid (CSG), the plant has a capacity of 70 megawatts/140 megawatt-hours.

What is immersion cooling technology?

Among them, immersion cooling technology is the most prominent. This is because it allows direct contact between the coolant and the battery surface, thereby reducing the contact thermal resistance between the coolant and the battery surface.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) play a crucial role in mitigating these issues, offering advantages like easy installation and rapid response, and serving as a critical link between the energy source and the grid .

When will Meizhou baohu energy storage power plant be built?

Construction of the Meizhou Baohu energy storage power plant started in October 2022 and all the equipment was connected to the grid this February.

How does CSG energy storage work?

Wang Linwei, a staff member at the construction center of CSG's Energy Storage Co., Ltd., said that the plant adopts the prefabricated cabin-type equipment and the main equipment of the system is placed in a container. All the equipment is assembled on-site which shortens the construction period and ensures safe engineering.
