In recent years, the global energy storage systems (ESS) market has experienced exponential growth, driven by the energy transition, the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources, and the need to ensure grid stability. Industry forecasts estimate that the global installed capacity of ESS will exceed 400 GWh by 2030. In this context, battery thermal management has become one of the most critical challenges, affecting both the efficiency and safety of the systems.
Lithium-ion batteries, currently the most widely used technology in storage systems, are highly sensitive to temperature. Excessive heating can compromise performance, accelerate chemical aging, and, in extreme cases, lead to “thermal runaway” events. On the other hand, temperatures that are too low can significantly reduce the charge and discharge capacity.
For these reasons, an efficient and reliable thermal management system is essential. The liquid cooling plates developed by PRIATHERM represent one of the most effective solutions for keeping batteries within their optimal temperature range. Compared to air-cooled systems, they offer greater heat dissipation capacity, smaller footprint, and more uniform heat distribution — key advantages in modern high-density battery racks.
The integration of PRIATHERM‘s PT Zed and PT Slim liquid cooling solutions into ESS systems not only extends the batteries’ lifespan but also improves their operational efficiency, ensuring safe operation even under high thermal load conditions. Thanks to the modularity of our products, it is possible to tailor each solution to the specific needs of residential, commercial, or utility-scale applications.
With the continuous evolution of the energy storage market, PRIATHERM aims to be a reliable technological partner for advanced thermal management, contributing to the development of a safer, more efficient, and sustainable energy future.
