Sunshine Power has obtained a patent for an energy storage system that reduces thermal management energy consumption. According to information from the National Intellectual Property Administration, Sunshine Power Co., Ltd. has been granted a patent titled “An Energy Storage System,” with the authorization announcement number CN222852051U, and the application date being June 2024. The patent abstract reveals that the application discloses an energy storage system comprising a storage unit, electrical equipment, and a thermal management unit.
The thermal management unit includes a refrigeration unit, which consists of a power device, a condenser, and a first heat exchanger. The power device provides a gaseous heat exchange medium to drive the refrigeration unit by absorbing heat from the electrical equipment. The condenser is responsible for condensing the gaseous heat exchange medium into liquid form, while the first heat exchanger absorbs heat from the storage unit using the liquid heat exchange medium. The thermal management unit operates in a first mode, where the power device, condenser, and first heat exchanger are sequentially connected.
This energy storage system effectively dissipates heat from both the storage unit and the electrical equipment. The power device generates a gaseous heat exchange medium by absorbing heat from the electrical equipment to operate the refrigeration unit without requiring additional heat or power, thereby reducing the thermal management energy consumption of the energy storage system.
As per Tianyancha data, Sunshine Power Co., Ltd., established in 2007 and located in Hefei City, primarily engages in the production and supply of electricity and heat. The company’s registered capital amounts to 2,073,211,424 RMB. According to big data analysis from Tianyancha, the company has invested in a total of 87 enterprises, participated in 3,197 bidding projects, holds 717 trademark registrations, and possesses 4,641 patents, in addition to having 108 administrative licenses.
