On September 1, 2024, the 2024 World Power Battery Conference was grandly opened in Yibin, Sichuan Province, China. SCU was invited to participate. Chairman Chen Jisheng and Deputy General Manager Liu Yafeng attended the conference on behalf of the company and participated in a series of activities such as the special meeting on the development of the new energy storage industry.
Energy Storage System – Roundtable Dialogue
Chen Jisheng said that with the accelerated advancement of global energy transformation and the large-scale grid connection demand for renewable energy, energy storage technology, as a key link in balancing electricity supply and demand and improving energy utilization efficiency, is becoming increasingly important. Whether from the macro-strategy of responding to climate change and achieving carbon neutrality goals or from the actual needs of meeting the stability of daily power supply and improving the flexibility of the power grid, the energy storage industry has ushered in a golden period of development.
In terms of the application of energy storage technology, diversification, efficiency and intelligence are the main trends of future development. As the main method of large-scale energy storage, traditional pumped storage still has a solid position, but electrochemical energy storage is rapidly rising and widely used in distributed energy systems, microgrids, data centers, electric vehicle charging stations and other fields due to its advantages such as strong flexibility, short construction period and fast response speed. In particular, the continuous advancement of lithium-ion battery technology, cost reduction, cycle life extension and safety improvement have laid a solid foundation for the widespread promotion of energy storage applications.
Chen Jisheng pointed out that liquid cooling technology, as an innovative solution in the field of thermal management of energy storage systems, is gradually becoming the focus of industry attention. Immersion liquid cooling technology effectively solves the heat dissipation problem of battery packs during high-power charging and discharging by directly immersing energy storage batteries in high-thermal conductivity and low-viscosity coolants, which not only greatly improves the safety performance and operating efficiency of energy storage systems, but also extends the service life of batteries. The application of immersion liquid cooling technology will help energy storage systems develop in the direction of higher energy density, larger capacity, and faster response speed, and provide important technical support for the commercialization and large-scale application of energy storage systems.
Explore the Future
Relying on more than 20 years of exploration and deep cultivation in the power electronics and new energy industries, SCU has now become a representative of the industry’s new quality productivity and has achieved the application and integration of liquid cooling technology in multiple business fields:
- Datacenter: Immersion liquid cooling technology has become a new trend in data center cooling with its efficient heat dissipation capability and efficient use of space, and at the same time solves the safety problem of lithium batteries for UPS.
- Commercial and industrial energy storage: Immersion liquid cooling technology provides reliable heat dissipation guarantee for industrial energy storage systems, helps large-scale application and storage of renewable energy, and promotes green energy transformation.
- Electric vehicle charging: The centralized closed liquid cooling circulation heat dissipation system is adopted to improve the overall stability and safety of the charging system and effectively reduce noise pollution. The high-power liquid cooling module is used to achieve 8-20 minutes of super-fast charging, which greatly alleviates the energy replenishment anxiety of new energy vehicle users.
In the future, SCU will continue to increase investment in R&D and product innovation in new energy utilization technology, especially in the exploration and practice of cutting-edge fields such as immersion liquid cooling technology, to promote the iterative upgrade of new energy development and utilization technology. At the same time, SCU also looks forward to working closely with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to jointly build an open, collaborative, and win-win new energy industry ecosystem and contribute to global energy transformation and sustainable development.
