Abstract:  Energy storage plays different roles in the conventional power system, renewable energy power generation, distributed power generation and micro-network, auxiliary services, and thus different income model and economic evaluation methods are used. Economics researche of energy storage technology in domestic and international is still at early stage, and a mature economic evaluation system is still absent. In this paper, the current situation economics research of energy storage in domestic and international, the value and benefit of energy storage in power system, and the research trend of energy storage economy are analyzed.

Key words: energy storage, economic evaluation, power system, revenue model
