Interpretation of the investment policy for energy storage charging stations

Do policy measures contribute to the expansion of fast charging infrastructure?

In contrast, Baumgarte et al. argued that currently available policy measures, such as investment subsidies or exemptions from electricity taxes, do not contribute significantly to the widespread expansion of fast charging infrastructure, while charging demand has a greater potential to contribute .

Should energy storage charge and discharge strategies be adjusted?

Shandong, Gansu and other regions implemented complete price adjustments for all TOU periods. While the widening of the peak and off-peak price difference is beneficial to behind-the-meter energy storage applications, energy storage charge and discharge strategies must also be adjusted to adapt to the changes to the peak and off-peak period.

What are China's energy storage incentive policies?

China's energy storage incentive policies are imperfect, and there are problems such as insufficient local policy implementation and lack of long-term mechanisms . Since the frequency and magnitude of future policy adjustments are not specified, it is impossible for energy storage technology investors to make appropriate investment decisions.

Are energy storage subsidy policies uncertain?

Subsidy policies for energy storage technologies are adjusted according to changes in market competition, technological progress, and other factors; thus, energy storage subsidy policies are uncertain. In this section, the investment decision of energy storage technology with different investment strategies under an uncertain policy is studied.

How do EV uptake and demand affect charging infrastructure?

EV uptake and demand for charging infrastructure (by removing key barriers). Critically, they ensure all charge-point operators are on a level playing field and build confidence that investments in EV infrastructure meet current and

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.
