National nuclear intelligent investment energy storage technology

Is there a realistic investment decision framework for energy storage technology?

Therefore, in order to provide a more realistic investment decisions framework for energy storage technology, this study develops a sequential investment decision model based on real options theory, which can consider policy, technological innovation, and market uncertainties.

Which energy storage technology is adopted in state 1?

In State 1, the firm operates the first energy storage technology, which is adopted at time τ1. The second energy storage technology is not yet available in that state. The expected value of the first energy storage technology, including the embedded option, is Φ 1 (P).

Should you invest in future energy storage technologies?

Additionally, the investment threshold is significantly lower under the single strategy than it is under the continuous strategy. Therefore, direct investment in future energy storage technologies is the best choice when new technologies are already available.

How does technological innovation affect energy storage technology investment?

The level of technological innovation has a nonmonotonic impact on energy storage technology investment. At a low level of technological innovation, the probability of new technology emergence is small, and investors shorten the timing of delaying investment to reduce relative losses.

How to promote energy storage technology investment?

Therefore, increasing the technology innovation level, as indicated by unit benefit coefficient, can promote energy storage technology investment. On the other hand, reducing the unit investment cost can mainly increase the investment opportunity value.

What is the investment threshold for energy storage technology?

First, the investment threshold for the first energy storage technology under the single strategy is 0.0757 USD/kWh, which is higher than the technology investment threshold of 0.0656 USD/kWh for the first energy storage under the continuous strategy.
