Myanmar Liquid Cooling Energy Storage Requirements

How much energy does Myanmar have?

In 2017, Myanmar’s proven energy reserves comprised 105 million barrels of oil, 5.56 trillion cubic feet of gas, and 542.56 million metric tonnes of coal. The country is a net exporter of energy, exporting substantial amounts of natural gas and coal to neighbouring countries. However, it imports around 90% of its total oil requirements.

What is Myanmar's energy policy?

Use of new and renewable energy sources is encouraged, especially solar and wind, which are abundant in Myanmar. The policy also accepts that people will still need to use traditional energy sources such as wood and charcoal. Regulations and anticipatory actions are necessary to sustain the harvesting of these primary energy sources.

What is the energy saving potential of Myanmar?

According to the 2015 Asian Development Bank report ‘National Energy Eficiency and Conservation Policy, Strategy and Roadmap of Myanmar’, electricity consumption in all sectors and achievable energy saving potential should reach 12% by 2020, 16% by 2025, and 20% by 2030.

What will Myanmar's energy supply look like in 2050?

In the APS, Myanmar’s primary energy supply is projected to increase at a slightly lower rate compared to BAU from 20.12 Mtoe in 2017 to 42.71 Mtoe in 2050, an AAGR of 1.8%. From 2017 to 2050, it is expected that coal will grow the fastest at 3.9% per year, followed by oil at 3.5%, hydropower at 2.7%, and natural gas at 2.6%.

How is commercial energy consumption projected in Myanmar?

In Myanmar, commercial energy consumption is projected on the basis of the energy requirements of major sectors (industry, transport, and agriculture)). Choice of fuel type is determined by available supply, since energy demand must be met mainly by domestic Figure 12.10.

Are liquid cooled battery energy storage systems better than air cooled?

Liquid-cooled battery energy storage systems provide better protection against thermal runaway than air-cooled systems. “If you have a thermal runaway of a cell, you’ve got this massive heat sink for the energy be sucked away into. The liquid is an extra layer of protection,” Bradshaw says.
