Summary:A thermal management system for an energy storage system that controls the temperature of an array of electrochemical cells of the energy storage system. Fluid channels or pathways are provided around outer side regions of an array of electrochemical cells. Fluid flow is directed along one pathway to a next subsequent pathway, absorbing thermal energy generated by the array of electrochemical cells along the way. The fluid flow is eventually discharged from the energy storage system by the thermal management system, thereby removing thermal energy from the energy storage system.
