Abstract
A cooling structure includes a power storage stack including power storage cells, first and second end plates, a refrigerant supply path for supplying refrigerant, and first paths each provided in a clearance between two of the adjacent power storage cells. The first end plate is configured to form a second path communicating with the refrigerant supply path in a clearance between a first end of the power storage stack and the first end plate. The second end plate is configured to form a third path communicating with the refrigerant supply path in a clearance between a second end of the power storage stack and the second end plate. The power storage stack is cooled to have a temperature distribution in which the power storage cells disposed on the second end side have temperatures higher than the temperatures of the power storage cells disposed on the first end side.
