Sungrow Introduces Its Liquid Cooled ESS PowerStack for the C&I Energy Storage Market in Mexico

The energy storage market in Mexico is mainly focused on behind-the-meter C&I applications. Energy storage systems are used to assist large electricity consumers in managing their electricity bills more efficiently. By charging the batteries during low-cost off-peak hours and discharging them during high-cost peak hours, businesses can significantly decrease their overall electricity expenses.

Battery units also help industrial users comply with new and more stringent grid regulations, which could result in substantial financial penalties if not met.

Sungrow's C&I ESS PowerStack is a competitive solution that offers high profitability, safety, and flexibility to meet the aforementioned values.

The PowerStack provides a variety of battery capacity options, ranging from 250kWh to 4MWh and are designed for applications that require energy storage for two to four hours.

This solution simplifies the transportation, installation, and operation and maintenance (O&M) processes associated with energy storage solutions through a combination of several components, including lithium-ion batteries, a power conversion system (PCS), an energy management system (EMS), and a fire suppression system (FSS).

The PowerStack utilizes advanced technologies such as liquid cooling to decrease the levelized cost of energy storage (LCOS) when compared to traditional air cooling.

By implementing this liquid cooling, the PowerStack is able to maintain a lower battery temperature difference, which results in longer battery life and improved charging and discharging efficiency. Additionally, the PowerStack has an automatic state of charge (SoC) calibration feature and an automated coolant refilling system which help to decrease the operations and maintenance (O&M) costs.
