Firstly, this paper proposes the concept of a flexible energy storage power station (FESPS) on the basis of an energy-sharing concept, which offers the dual functions of power flow regulation and energy storage. Moreover, the real-time application scenarios, operation, and implementation process for the FESPS have been analyzed herein.
Concurrently, the energy storage system can be discharged at the peak of power consumption, thereby reducing the demand for peak power supply from the power grid, which in turn reduces the required capacity of the distribution transformer; thus, the investment cost for the transformer is minimized.
In addition, by leveraging the scaling benefits of power stations, the investment cost per unit of energy storage can be reduced to a value lower than that of the user's investment for the distributed energy storage system, thereby reducing the total construction cost of energy storage power stations and shortening the investment payback period.
Energy storage/reuse based on the concept of shared energy storage can fundamentally reduce the configuration capacity, investment, and operational costs for energy storage devices. Accordingly, FESPS are expected to play an important role in the construction of renewable power systems.

[PDF Version]Rational allocation of energy storage capacity and optimization of corresponding subsidy policies are crucial prerequisites for enhancing the economic viability and widespread adoption of photovoltaic energy storage integration projects.
With the promotion of renewable energy utilization and the trend of a low-carbon society, the real-life application of photovoltaic (PV) combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS) has thrived recently. Cost–benefit has always been regarded as one of the vital factors for motivating PV-BESS integrated energy systems investment.
The results indicate that, while the current energy storage subsidy policies positively stimulate photovoltaic energy storage integration projects, they exhibit a limited capacity to cover energy storage investment costs, thereby failing to incentivize capital market participation in the construction of such projects.
In the context of China's new power system, various regions have implemented policies mandating the integration of new energy sources with energy storage, while also introducing subsidies to alleviate project cost pressures. Currently, there is a lack of subsidy analysis for photovoltaic energy storage integration projects.
