July 19, 2024: Sungrow, a PV inverter and energy storage system provider, announced the supply of its liquid-cooled BESS, the PowerTitan, for the 200MW/800MWh Vilvoorde  project in Belgium.

The system will be one of the largest installed in Europe and should be connected to the grid in 2025. The project will deliver power to up to 96,000 households. Sungrow will supply 320 units of its PowerTitan.

The project will be developed by ENGIE, an international utility group who is a global reference in low-carbon energy and services. 

“Due to the compact design and the pre-assembled delivery, the PowerTitan saves 50% of on-site installation time,” said Sungrow. “Moreover, due to its back-to-back installation scheme, the small footprint makes the system especially efficient for large ESS plants.

“The liquid-cooled technology also ensures a longer battery life and a maximum battery temperature difference of up to 2.5°C.”
