Comparing the options for storing energy.

A global power systems manufacturer wanted to understand long and short duration energy storage technologies. We profiled suppliers that met its storage and power needs and compared chemistries, performance and readiness.

The Client

The client is a global power systems manufacturer. It wanted storage technologies that could deliver 6 to 8 hours of storage.

The Challenge

Many chemistries.
Find what fits.

Prescouter was asked to find energy storage technologies that met a 6 to 8 hour requirement, compare their range and composition, and judge the readiness of novel options.

  • Duration

    6 to 8 hours

    The storage window the client needed.

  • Chemistry

    Range and composition

    Comparing what each technology offers.

  • Readiness

    Technology maturity

    How close novel options are.

Our Approach

Matching technologies to clear storage targets.

Technology scan
2duration classes covered

Map the options

We identified long and short duration storage technologies available on the market.

Company profiles
15 to 20companies profiled

Profile the fits

We profiled companies whose offers met the client’s storage and power rating limits.

Chemistry review
5+chemistries compared

Compare the chemistries

We compared electrode chemistries including sodium, graphene, niobium, zinc and enhanced lithium.

The Outcome

Options to build, buy or partner.

Prescouter presented details on 15 to 20 companies across batteries, capacitors and magnetic storage using sodium, graphene, niobium, zinc, lithium and other metals. The performance comparison supports decisions on internal development, acquisitions, joint ventures and collaborations.

  • Profiles

    15 to 20 companies

    Across many storage types.

  • Chemistries

    5+ chemistries

    Compared on performance.

  • Options

    Build, buy or partner

    Clear paths for next steps.

No single storage chemistry fits every duration. Comparing options against clear targets narrows the field fast.
