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 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.
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 recently-passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) delivers much-needed certainty to the energy storage market by providing a 30 percent Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for the next decade for projects that pair solar-and-storage as well as standalone storage installations. In the past, only solar-plus-storage projects qualified for the ITC.
In the past, only solar-plus-storage projects qualified for the ITC. After the passage of the IRA, research firm Wood Mackenzie upgraded its U.S. energy storage market forecast to over 191 gigawatt-hours between the years 2022 and 2026.
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.
