New energy storage customer analysis

Are there any gaps in energy storage technologies?

Even though several reviews of energy storage technologies have been published, there are still some gaps that need to be filled, including: a) the development of energy storage in China; b) role of energy storage in different application scenarios of the power system; c) analysis and discussion on the business model of energy storage in China.

What are the emerging energy storage business models?

The independent energy storage model under the spot power market and the shared energy storage model are emerging energy storage business models. They emphasized the independent status of energy storage. The energy storage has truly been upgraded from an auxiliary industry to the main industry.

Can energy storage be a new composite business model?

Due to its flexibility, energy storage should be widely used in competitive models. The spot market is used as the carrier, and the energy storage in each application scenario is uniformly deployed through the shared energy storage business model. It can serve as a new composite business model for energy storage.

Who owns the energy storage system?

The grid subsidiary is the owner of the energy storage system. The third type is the third-party investment. Under this investment model, the energy storage system is invested and operated by third partied.

What role does energy storage play in the future?

As carbon neutrality and cleaner energy transitions advance globally, more of the future's electricity will come from renewable energy sources. The higher the proportion of renewable energy sources, the more prominent the role of energy storage. A 100% PV power supply system is analysed as an example.

How is energy storage developing in China?

However, China's energy storage is developing rapidly. The government requires that some new units must be equipped with energy storage systems. The concept of shared energy storage has been applied in China, which effectively promotes the development of energy storage. 4.3. Explore new models of energy storage development
