As of 2024, China has introduced policies and measures related to energy storage, which primarily fall into four typical categories, encompassing investment subsidies for energy storage projects [17, 18], subsidies for charging and discharging [19, 20], subsidies for installed capacity [21, 22], and subsidies for demand response [23, 24].
Government subsidies play a pivotal role in energy storage industry development, stimulating operator investment and system participation while ensuring power system benefits. As shown in Fig. 1, this creates dynamic interactions among government regulators, energy storage operators, and the broader power system entities.
Additionally, the energy storage capacity subsidy is a one-time payment of 200 CNY/kW, while there are ongoing subsidies for charging and discharging (0.5 CNY/kWh) and for peak-valley arbitrage (0.7 CNY/kWh). The energy storage system is assumed to operate for 300 days annually, with two charge-discharge cycles per day.
The energy storage system's investment cost is set at 1500 CNY/kWh, with a subsidy of 10 % on the system investment cost. Additionally, the energy storage capacity subsidy is a one-time payment of 200 CNY/kW, while there are ongoing subsidies for charging and discharging (0.5 CNY/kWh) and for peak-valley arbitrage (0.7 CNY/kWh).
