Storage sizing, design, and procurement
Building on our capability to optimize energy storage systems and positioning, we support the complete process of energy storage project development - from initial design to procurement. Our experts regularly assist project developers in optimizing their storage configurations, drafting and administering RFPs for storage assets.
CRE-STORE storage simulation tool
Since 2014, Clean Horizon has developed and continued to improve CRE-STORE, a “desktop version” of an EMS (Energy Management System). We use this tool to simulate storage operation and determine the optimal sizing of storage and hybrid projects – both from a technical and economic standpoint. We offer CRE-STORE as a service or a product, sold as an open code tool (developed in Matlab).
Grid impact studies and national energy planning
Working with island utilities, governments, and Development Finance Institutions, Clean Horizon supports long-term power system planning by assessing the techno-economic optimum of energy storage to support renewable energy integration and maintain grid stability.
Due diligence
As a neutral, independent third party, Clean Horizon can be solicited as a Lender’s Technical Advisor in the context of a due diligence for a storage or hybrid project.
