Certified for Safety: How TLS Energy Storage Containers
As the global installed capacity of renewable energy continues to surge, energy storage systems have become a critical pillar for ensuring power grid stability and flexibility.
For macro packaging, ensuring the corrosion resistance of packaging materials in the TES system has become its main problem, because it is not only related to the safety of food in the transportation process but also related to the long-term use and complete function of the entire energy storage system, .
The corrosion inhibitor molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the container to form a protective layer, which greatly reduces the corrosion rate of the container in an acidic environment. At present, corrosion inhibitor technology is also developing in the field of energy storage.
When organic phase change materials are used as energy storage media, corrosion of packaging containers will also occur. Kahwaji et al. performed corrosion tests on six organic phase change materials, and their selected material formulations are shown in Table 9.
For copper and aluminum surfaces, cadmium, zinc, or commercial pure aluminum can be used to protect them by sacrificing their anodic behavior. Although cadmium is the most suitable, it should be avoided because of its toxicity. The best way to prevent corrosion is to avoid direct contact between the PCM and the container.
