Mozambique Energy Storage Container Cooling System

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.

What is a container energy storage system?

Containerized energy storage systems play an important role in the transmission, distribution and utilization of energy such as thermal, wind and solar power [3, 4]. Lithium batteries are widely used in container energy storage systems because of their high energy density, long service life and large output power [5, 6].

How much power does a containerized energy storage system use?

In Shanghai, the ACCOP of conventional air conditioning is 3.7 and the average hourly power consumption in charge/discharge mode is 16.2 kW, while the ACCOP of the proposed containerized energy storage temperature control system is 4.1 and the average hourly power consumption in charge/discharge mode is 14.6 kW.

What is container energy storage temperature control system?

The proposed container energy storage temperature control system integrates the vapor compression refrigeration cycle, the vapor pump heat pipe cycle and the low condensing temperature heat pump cycle, adopts variable frequency, variable volume and variable pressure ratio compressor, and the system is simple and reliable in mode switching.

What is the COP of a container energy storage temperature control system?

It is found that the COP of the proposed temperature control system reaches 3.3. With the decrease of outdoor temperature, the COP of the proposed container energy storage temperature control system gradually increases, and the COP difference with conventional air conditioning gradually increases.

What are the temperature control requirements for container energy storage batteries?

In view of the temperature control requirements for charging/discharging of container energy storage batteries, the outdoor temperature of 45 °C and the water inlet temperature of 18 °C were selected as the rated/standard operating condition points.
