The World's First Submerged Liquid Cooled Energy Storage Power Station Has Officially Put Into Operation
On March 6th, the world's first submerged liquid cooled energy storage power station - the Meizhou Baohu Energy Storage Power Station of China Southern Power Grid officially put into operation. The scale of the energy storage power station is 70 megawatts/140 megawatt hours. Based on 1.75 charges and discharges per day, it can generate nearly 81 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, equivalent to the daily electricity demand of 3.5 million users during peak electricity consumption, and can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 45000 tons. The official operation of this power station marks the successful application of immersion liquid cooling, a cutting-edge technology, in the field of new energy storage engineering, and plays a positive role in promoting China's overall energy security, stability, and green and low-carbon development.
Since 2022, Southern Power Grid Energy Storage Company has promptly collaborated with multiple scientific research forces to quickly establish a research team that spans multiple disciplines such as materials science, power electronics, and automatic control. It has focused on tackling key technologies related to thermal management, firefighting, and electrical integration in the development of immersed liquid cooled battery energy storage systems, effectively solving the technical challenges of applying immersed liquid cooling to large capacity energy storage systems.
