In April 2026, GSL ENERGY deployed an 80kW / 209kWh air-cooled BESS in a Swiss farm. It provides a reliable and efficient
farm energy storage system for cold weather.This project shows a battery energy storage system in Switzerland can provide stable power in low-temperature environments.
Project Overview
System Type: Air cooled BESS
Battery Type: LiFePO4 energy storage system
Application: Agricultural energy storage solution (farm)
Location: Switzerland
This
commercial energy storage project was specifically designed to support agricultural operations with stable and continuous energy.
Challenges in Cold Climate Battery Storage
Switzerland's winter conditions pose challenges for cold climate battery storage, including:
Reduced charging and discharging efficiency
Battery capacity loss at low temperatures
Increased demand for system stability and reliability
For farms, where operations like irrigation, refrigeration, and automation depend on constant power, a stable agricultural energy storage solution is essential.
Optimized Energy Storage Solution
To address these challenges, GSL ENERGY implemented a customized air cooled BESS with integrated heating design:
Key Features
Integrated Heating Film: Ensures optimal battery temperature for stable performance in cold environments
Air Cooling System: A cost-effective and reliable solution suitable for moderate climate fluctuations
All-in-One Design: Integrated PCS, BMS, and battery system for simplified installation and maintenance
This combination makes the system a highly efficient LiFePO4 energy storage system for agricultural use.
Key Advantages
1. Cold Climate Adaptation
The built-in heating system ensures the battery operates within the ideal temperature range, improving performance and lifespan.
2. Stable Farm Power Supply
Provides consistent energy for farm equipment such as irrigation systems, cold storage, and automated machinery.
3. Cost-Effective Air Cooling Solution
Compared to liquid cooling systems, the air cooled BESS offers lower upfront cost and easier maintenance.
4. Scalable Design
The modular structure allows future expansion to meet growing energy demands.
