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.
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.
By solving for the investment threshold and investment opportunity value under various uncertainties and different strategies, the optimal investment scheme can be obtained. Finally, to verify the validity of the model, it is applied to investment decisions for energy storage participation in China's peaking auxiliary service market.
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.
However, for new technologies, the investment cost is lower and the benefit is higher, which has a better investment value than the current energy storage technologies. Additionally, the investment threshold is significantly lower under the single strategy than it is under the continuous strategy.
This study assumes that, in the face of multiple uncertainties in policy, technological innovation, and the market, firms can choose to invest in existing energy storage technologies or future improved versions of the technology to generate revenue.

In this case, the energy storage side connects the source and load ends, which needs to fully meet the demand for output storage on the power side and provide enough electricity to the load side, so a large enough energy storage capacity configuration is a must.
In the three scenarios, with the distinction between the two methods of energy storage capacity configuration, it is clear that the storage capacity of the energy with the surplus power online presents far less than with surplus power offline in local equilibrium.
In the context of China's electricity market restructuring, the economic analysis, including the cost and benefit analysis, of the energy storage with multi-applications is urgent for the market policy design in China.
