Thermal Management for Battery Energy Storage Systems

Copeland addresses the growing demand for precise thermal management of battery energy storage systems used by commercial, industrial and utility stakeholders, enhancing reliability and safety.

Accelerate the energy transition and add redundancy

As the energy transition drives the integration of more renewable energy sources, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are critical enablers for sustainable, flexible and resilient power infrastructures. BESS helps bridge the gap between intermittent renewable energy generation and consistent demand — whether at a utility or localized renewable power farm — storing electricity for use when and where it’s needed.

In mission-critical commercial and industrial applications, BESS provides energy storage on demand and the potential to offset peak energy rates, while offering a clean and reliable alternative to traditional backup power. Data centers, manufacturing plants, hospitals and telecommunication facilities can utilize BESS to safeguard against downtime caused by short power outages, which could result in production losses or service interruptions. Copeland’s compression technologies and controls solutions help BESS stakeholders increase the operational readiness, redundancy and efficiency of their power portfolios.

Technology that empowers reliable battery energy storage

Partnering with thermal management system original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and battery manufacturers, Copeland addresses the critical need for effective thermal management in battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery performance and safety are intrinsically linked to thermal management, as lithium-ion batteries are highly susceptible to heat. Excessive heat can degrade performance, shorten system lifespans and, in extreme cases, lead to safety risks such as thermal runaway.

Copeland combines more than a century of sustainable cooling innovations with integrated thermal management technologies to meet these challenges. Leveraging its expertise in variable-speed scroll compression technologies, integrated variable frequency drives, logic controls, electronic expansion valves and line components, Copeland delivers precise thermal management solutions. These innovations help maximize the safety, performance and longevity of battery energy storage systems, even in the most demanding environments and high-ambient conditions.

End-to-end support for energy goals

From meeting electrification and decarbonization goals to increasing energy security and operational resiliency, even in the most remote, demanding, high- and low-ambient conditions, Copeland understands the energy challenges facing commercial, industrial and utility stakeholders. Our lifecycle services help original equipment manufacturers and system integrators design, develop and deploy battery energy storage systems with robust thermal management capabilities.
