Does airflow organization affect heat dissipation behavior of container energy storage system?

In this paper, the heat dissipation behavior of the thermal management system of the container energy storage system is investigated based on the fluid dynamics simulation method. The results of the effort show that poor airflow organization of the cooling air is a significant influencing factor leading to uneven internal cell temperatures.

What is container energy storage?

Container energy storage is one of the key parts of the new power system. In this paper, multiple high rate discharge lithium-ion batteries are applied to the r

What is energy storage system (ESS)?

The energy storage system (ESS) studied in this paper is a 1200 mm × 1780 mm × 950 mm container, which consists of 14 battery packs connected in series and arranged in two columns in the inner part of the battery container, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Energy storage system layout.

How do I ensure a suitable operating environment for energy storage systems?

To ensure a suitable operating environment for energy storage systems, a suitable thermal management system is particularly important.

Do lithium-ion batteries perform well in a container storage system?

This work focuses on the heat dissipation performance of lithium-ion batteries for the container storage system. The CFD method investigated four factors (setting a new air inlet, air inlet position, air inlet size, and gap size between the cell and the back wall).

Does spacing affect battery heat dissipation?

Fan et al. 20 reported that improving the spacing of cells to some extent would enhance the uniformity of battery heat distribution but increase the maximum temperature of the cell in the meantime. Wang et al. 21 studied the effects of the width and the ventilation location on the heat dissipation of the batteries.
