Energy Storage Systems

In the global push toward renewable energy and high-efficiency power systems, effective thermal management is critical to safe, reliable, and long-lasting energy storage systems (ESS). Battery-based energy storage systems, as well as those designed for renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, generate substantial heat. This heat can damage the storage equipment, reducing its capacity and overall functionality. What’s more, excessive heat can spread to surrounding equipment, damaging it and posing safety risks to personnel and the environment; therefore, it’s important to manage and dissipate excess heat to prevent thermal runaway in these systems.

T-Global USA specializes in advanced thermal management solutions for energy, electrical, and electronic applications. Learn more about our products and the advantages they offer.

T-Global’s Thermal Management Solutions

Thermally conductive materials like silicone, copper, and others, are used to block or dissipate localized heat to maintain proper operation in energy storage equipment like batteries, solar panels, and electronics. We offer a range of products for thermal management applications, including:

  • Thermal Pads. T-Global’s thermal pads, like the TG-A3500 and TG-A6200 and others, improve heat transfer and reduce thermal resistance when used with heat sinks and electronic assemblies. Made with silicone or non-silicone conductive materials, pads are available in many shapes and thicknesses. Options include highly compressive padding as well as pads that are difficult to deform, and some include a top layer of fiberglass for added strength and tear resistance.
  • Thermal Putty. Silicone and non-silicone thermal putties help seal gaps between a heat source and heat sink to improve thermal conductivity. It is available in convenient applicator tubes for easy use.
  • Thermal Potting Compounds. This two-part epoxy-based sealing compound is thermally conductive and waterproof. It cures at room temperature (or fasted with the application of heat) and has high hardness for durability and component protection from moisture and heat.
  • Heat Pipes. Heat pipes are copper tubes that are sealed on both ends and filled with a working fluid that travels back and forth inside. At one end of the tube, heat causes that fluid to evaporate and travel to the other, cooler end, where it condenses and dissipates the heat. These pipes are passive and work quickly to regulate temperatures. They are available in several diameters and lengths.

Key Applications of Energy Storage Thermal Management Solutions

T-Global’s thermal management products support a variety of energy storage applications, including:

  • Solar Energy Storage. Solar energy generation is inherently intermittent. Storing energy for use during periods of low or no generation, such as nighttime, enhances stability but can cause temperature fluctuations in system equipment. Thermal management tools like thermal pads, heat pipes, graphite, thermal putty, or potting compound help regulate temperatures and keep heat below critical levels.
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) Batteries. Thermal pads, thermal putty, and potting compound help prevent batteries and associated electronics from overheating. This protects driver safety and extends battery life over time.
  • Power Banks & Battery Packs. Smaller energy storage devices, such as power banks and battery packs, can generate relatively high temperatures for their size, increasing the risk of fires and equipment damage. Thermal putty, potting compounds, and thermal pads help buffer and conduct heat away from circuitry and components in these compact systems.

Benefits of Effective Thermal Management

Thermal management is fundamental to energy storage systems for both safety and operational efficiency. Investing in high-quality solutions from T-Global offers these benefits:

  • Increased System Longevity. Effective heat dissipation reduces the risk of overheating, which can prevent component failures and premature wear.
  • Improved Efficiency. Thermal management minimizes energy loss to maximize access to stored energy. Waste reduction boosts the value of the overall system and the energy it holds.
  • Enhanced Safety. Reliable thermal management reduces the buildup of heat that can lead to thermal runaway or fire. Thermal pads, heat pipes, putties, and other products help maintain safe operating temperatures in residential, commercial, and industrial energy storage systems.
