Cooling method of solar container battery

What is a composite cooling system for energy storage containers?

Fig. 1 (a) shows the schematic diagram of the proposed composite cooling system for energy storage containers. The liquid cooling system conveys the low temperature coolant to the cold plate of the battery through the water pump to absorb the heat of the energy storage battery during the charging/discharging process.

Is air cooling a viable solution for a battery system?

Despite its drawbacks, air cooling remains a viable solution when simplicity, low cost and ease of integration outweigh the need for high thermal precision. Liquid cooling is one of the most widely adopted thermal management strategies for modern battery systems due to its excellent balance of performance and practicality.

How does a battery cooling system work?

It uses a liquid coolant, typically a water-glycol mixture, that flows through channels or cold plates integrated within or around the battery pack. This method offers significantly higher heat transfer capacity compared to air cooling, resulting in more uniform cell temperatures, improved battery efficiency and extended lifespan.

How does a containerized energy storage battery system work?

These ships are equipped with containerized energy storage battery systems, employing a “plug-and-play” battery swapping mode that completes a single exchange operation in just 10 to 20 min . Therefore, it can be used on the ship to achieve “separation of the ship's electricity” and improve the efficiency of power exchange.
