In addition to its market analysis services, Clean Horizon prides itself on its technical consulting expertise. Relying on CRE-STORE – the in-house energy storage modelling tool – Clean Horizon’s experts act as owner’s and lender’s engineers for IPPs and investors from all over the globe. Such services also help national utilities draw their energy storage roadmaps.
Clean Horizon delivers a wide variety of services spanning from technical consulting to market analysis. Our experts track the development of energy storage markets and related regulations on all continents and leverage this knowledge to develop go-to-market strategies tailored to our customers’ needs. Such services can be accessed through the Clean Horizon Compass: a dedicated platform through which users can get to-the-point guidance into the world of energy storage.
This platform gives access to CHESS – Clean Horizon’s global database of utility-scale storage projects, the Update From The Field service: a monthly analyst note on the latest trends in the energy storage industry as well as many other off-the-shelf reports.
Clean Horizon was founded in 2009 and is the world’s sole consultancy to be specifically dedicated to energy storage. It covers energy storage studies and projects all over the globe thanks to its two offices in Paris, France and Miami in the United States of America. Clean Horizon’s expertise is globally recognized thanks to its active involvement in international projects and events.
While mitigating hazardous consequences like thermal runaway, fire, and explosion are important to employ, prevention and early warning are more powerful techniques to minimize or even eliminate catastrophic consequences. Functional safety certified battery managements systems, combined with advanced weak battery detection algorithms can help detect and predict failure before it happens.
System integration is essential to improved energy storage safety. As the industry leader in energy storage safety, our tested and certified multi-layer safety systems are second to none. Through extensive engineering, simulation, testing and analysis, our systems are designed and built with multiple layers of protections from failures and unsafe conditions. That makes your NEC energy storage solution the safest, most reliable in the business.

A technology as varied and versatile as energy storage will continue to flourish worldwide – but what changes can you expect in technologies, capacity, and pricing as it is coupled with different renewable generation sources?
Presented by:
Alex Eller, Senior Research Analyst, Guidehouse Insights
After the 2008 financial crisis, the solar energy industry surged as a greener and cheaper alternative to traditional generation. Energy Storage finds itself in a similar situation today, where it can provide energy reliability while Covid ravages traditionally stable commodities like oil and gas.

As the building blocks of energy storage systems, batteries have a key role in influencing system design and economics. Davion Hill of DNV GL explores the importance of testing the performance of individual battery cells in minimising the exposure of battery buyers to technical risks.
The rapid acceleration in energy storage deployment expected over the coming years will require innovation in the quality and safety standards underpinning new battery and associated technologies. VDE’s Jan Geder looks at the technical work underway to ensure the coming storage boom has firm bankability and insurability foundations.
Ensuring battery systems used in conjunction with solar perform safely and optimally is essential in ensuring the continued roll-out of storage technology. Robert Puto and Gerhard Klein of TÜV SÜD examine independent technical assessments that must be undertaken before a storage system is built.
Energy Storage Special Report 2019, from the editorial teams behind Energy-Storage.news and PV Tech, brings you no less than seven feature articles and technical papers looking at everything from the policy and regulatory initiatives that still need to happen, to bankability and profitability of ESS, system technologies and architecture, all the way to recycling and end-of-life care for batteries.
A key missing piece in the clean energy puzzle is the question of how to provide baseload power in an electricity system dominated by intermittent renewables. Javier Cavada of Highview Power examines cryogenic long-duration storage as a possible solution.
While lithium-ion batteries get most of the headlines, long-duration energy storage solutions are gaining ground. Alice Grundy and Andy Colthorpe profile some of established and emerging concepts in this this increasingly important class of storage technologies.
As energy storage becomes an increasingly integral part of a renewables-based electricity system, new technologies are coming to the fore. Jens Noack, Nataliya Roznyatovskaya, Chris Menictas and Maria Skyllas-Kazacos from CENELEST, a joint research venture between the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology and the University of New South Wales, chart the rise of redox flow batteries, a promising alternative to lithium-ion-based systems.
