Value chain energy storage power

How to evaluate the value-added capacity of energy storage industry?

Based on the "smiling curve" theory, we evaluate the value-added capacity of energy storage industry. Using the Principal Component Analysis method, we excavate the driving factors that affect value-added capabilities. Adopting the three-stage DEA-Malmquist index methods to analyze the efficiency differences of each link of the value chain.

What is the value chain of China's energy storage industry?

Based on the economic characteristics of various basic activities and their value-added contributions to different degrees in the whole value chain, this paper divides the value chain of China's energy storage industry into upstream, midstream and downstream.

What drives value-added efficiency of energy storage enterprises?

The main driving factors of value-added efficiency of energy storage enterprises in different links are quite different. Under the new development requirements, enterprises should actively seek value-added breakthroughs.

How to measure value-added efficiency of energy storage industry?

Therefore, the value-added efficiency of the energy storage industry is measured according to the input indicators, output indicators and external environment indicators that affect the value-added capacity in the above.

Does value-added efficiency of energy storage enterprises improve after 2019?

The results demonstrate that the value chain presents an arc-shaped smile, and the overall value-added capacity has improved after 2019, but the midstream link is still weak. The main driving factors of value-added efficiency of energy storage enterprises in different links are quite different.

What is the value of a storage service?

Value represents the monetary remuneration storage would receive if it is deployed: the value can be tied immediately to the service, or a model can be built to understand how the market value of the service is affected when storage enters the energy mix.
