What is thermal management in electrochemical energy storage systems?

Part of the SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology book series (BRIEFSTHERMAL) Thermal management of electrochemical energy storage systems is essential for their high performance over suitably wide temperature ranges. An introduction of thermal management in major electrochemical energy storage systems is provided in this chapter.

Why is thermal management important for energy storage systems?

Thermal management of energy storage systems is essential for their high performance over suitably wide temperature ranges.

What is battery thermal management (BTM)?

Battery thermal management (BTM) is a crucial aspect for achieving optimum performance of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) (Zhang et al., 2018 ). Battery thermal management involves monitoring and controlling the temperature of the battery storage system to ensure that the battery is always operated within a safe temperature range.

Why is temperature monitoring important in battery storage systems?

Continuous temperature monitoring and feedback response in the battery storage system is essential for ensuring battery safety and protecting the battery pack from any possible hazard conditions*(Aghajani and Ghadimi, 2018)*. This enhances the stability of grid-connected RESs or microgrids that contain BESS.

Can battery energy storage contribute to grid decarbonization?

Battery energy storage can contribute significantly to grid decarbonization. Efficient operation with less carbon emission relies on battery thermal control. A detailed investigation of the key issues and challenges of battery thermal controllers is necessary. Experimental validation is required to understand the impact of batteries on grid decarbonization.

Why is battery thermal control important?

Battery thermal control is important for efficient operation with less carbon emission. A detailed investigation of the key issues and challenges of battery thermal controllers is needed. Experimental validation is required for the impact of batteries in grid decarbonization. Selective suggestions for further development toward zero carbon emission.
