Product Description

The transition to renewable energy demands reliable, high-capacity storage solutions that can stabilize the grid, integrate solar and wind power, and deliver consistent performance under varying conditions. Our 20ft Liquid-Cooled 5MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) represents the forefront of containerized energy storage technology—combining high energy density, intelligent thermal management, and multi-layered safety in a compact, pre-engineered footprint.

Designed for utility-scale projects, commercial and industrial applications, and microgrid deployments, this 5MWh BESS container delivers 35% more capacity than previous-generation models in the same 20ft form factor, significantly reducing land occupancy and installation costs.

High-Density Energy Storage in a Compact Footprint
The 5MWh BESS container integrates advanced 315Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic cells, renowned for their safety, longevity, and thermal stability . The system achieves: 5,031 kWh rated energy capacity within a standard 20ft container;
30% higher energy density compared to conventional air-cooled systems, enabled by innovative dual-row layout and liquid cooling technology;
40% reduction in project area through space-efficient design, lowering civil works and land acquisition costs;
12P416S configuration with 48 battery modules, delivering nominal voltage of 1,331.2V and operating range of 1,040V–1,500V DC.

Advanced Liquid Cooling Thermal Management
Effective thermal regulation is critical for battery performance and lifespan. Our variable-frequency liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures with exceptional precision:
Temperature differential ≤2.5°C across all battery modules, ensuring uniform aging and maximizing cycle life;
Active coolant circulation through each battery rack provides superior heat dissipation compared to air cooling, with cooling capacity independent of ambient conditions;
Automated coolant management reduces maintenance requirements and ensures consistent performance from -30°C to +55°C operating range;
40% reduction in auxiliary power consumption versus traditional HVAC systems, improving overall system efficiency.

Comprehensive Multi-Level Safety Architecture
Safety is engineered at every level—from cell chemistry to system-level protection:

Cell-Level Safety
Thermally stable LFP chemistry eliminates cobalt and resists thermal runaway;
Aerogel insulation between cells prevents propagation of thermal events;
Real-time cell voltage and temperature monitoring with ms-level response.

Liquid Cooling ESS 5MWh Data Sheet

FAQ

Liquid cooling offers three main advantages:
Uniform temperature: Maintains ≤2.5°C temperature difference across all cells, preventing hot spots and ensuring uniform aging.
Higher efficiency: Reduces auxiliary power consumption by up to 40% compared to HVAC‑intensive air cooling.
Higher energy density: Enables more cells in the same footprint, increasing capacity without enlarging the container.

The container arrives fully assembled and factory‑tested. On‑site steps:
Position the container on a prepared concrete pad.
Connect DC cabling to the external Power Conversion System (PCS) and AC side to the grid/load.
Connect communication cables (Ethernet, Modbus) to the monitoring system.
Perform system configuration and final validation with our technical support.
Typical commissioning time is 1–2 weeks.

The system is designed for minimal maintenance:
Battery management: The BMS automatically balances cells and reports health data; no routine cell maintenance needed.
Cooling system: The liquid cooling loop is sealed – periodic visual checks of coolant level and connections (every 6–12 months) are sufficient.
Annual inspections: Recommended to verify safety devices, clean external vents, and update software if needed.
