Energy storage project investment and construction process

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.

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.

What is a continuous investment strategy for energy storage technologies?

For current energy storage technologies, the continuous strategy can significantly shorten the investment timing and enable investors to adopt the storage technology as early as possible; therefore, when new technologies are unavailable, the continuous investment strategy is the best choice.

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.

What are the factors affecting energy storage technology investment?

In addition, there are also many uncertain factors in technological innovation and market related to energy storage technology investment. On the one hand, Technological innovations appear at random points in time and investors are unable to make decisions between adopting existing and new technologies.

What is the investment opportunity value of the second energy storage technology?

The investment opportunity value of the second energy storage technology is F1,2 (P). In State 2, the firm operates the second technology, which is adopted at time τ2, and the expected value of this energy storage technology is Φ 2 (P). Fig. 1. Single investment strategy under the deterministic policy. Fig. 2.
