Economic analysis of energy storage multi-business models in the electricity market environment

Abstract

At present, with the continuous technical and economic improvement of the energy storage, the large-scale application of energy storage is possible. However, the current energy storage development still has the problem of insufficient business models and single energy storage income. With the continuous improvement of China’s electricity market mechanism, a flexible market environment will provide more feasible business models and market space for energy storage development. This paper simulates the charging and discharge strategy of electrochemical storage in the market environment and the income situation under the “stack value” applications. The results show that a flexible market mechanism and multi-functional applications in the market environment are beneficial to the improvement of the energy storage economy.
