In short, hydrogen storage technology is a crucial bridge for hydrogen energy to move from the laboratory to practical large-scale applications. Its development level directly determines whether hydrogen energy can play a greater role in the future energy system.
The importance of hydrogen storage technology as a clean and efficient energy carrier lies in multiple aspects. First, hydrogen storage is a key link in the utilization of hydrogen-based energy, as the large-scale application of hydrogen energy requires solving the storage and transportation problems of hydrogen.
Therefore, research and innovation in hydrogen storage technology are crucial for promoting the development of the hydrogen energy industry. By increasing hydrogen storage density, reducing costs, and improving safety, large-scale application of hydrogen energy can be achieved, thereby helping to achieve the “dual carbon” goal.
Economical hydrogen storage and transportation contribute to hydrogen energy utilization.
The economic costs are calculated in terms of the equipment investment costs, operating costs, labor costs and other O&M costs required for the hydrogen storage and transportation process. Then the economic analysis of different hydrogen storage and transportation modes under 1-to-N hydrogen storage and transportation scenario is conducted.
The development direction of hydrogen energy storage technology mainly focuses on improving hydrogen storage density, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing dehydrogenation efficiency to promote these technologies from laboratory to market applications.

Their analysis suggests that refurbishing and selling a fraction of batteries at the end of their lives, while recycling the remainder, minimizes the economic risk of recycling. This strategy has relatively high, more stable profits that are more consistent regardless of market conditions..

Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, 2020). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, 2019).
Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.
Our review shows that a set of commercially available technologies is sufficient to perform all identified business models. We also find that matches appear to have approached a tipping point toward profitability. Yet, this conclusion only holds for matches that either have been examined since 2017 or entail multiple business models.
The literature on energy storage frequently includes “renewable integration” or “generation firming” as applications for storage (Eyer and Corey, 2010; Zafirakis et al., 2013; Pellow et al., 2020).
Bolder approaches could include the design of special electricity tariffs for investors in a consumer role that unlock the ability of energy storage to mitigate unexpected demand peaks (Peak Shaving) and balance conventional demand patterns (Consumption Arbitrage) (Fridgen et al., 2018).
Where a profitable application of energy storage requires saving of costs or deferral of investments, direct mechanisms, such as subsidies and rebates, will be effective. For applications dependent on price arbitrage, the existence and access to variable market prices are essential.

Combined with the energy storage application scenarios of big data industrial parks, the collaborative modes among different entities are sorted out based on the zero-carbon target path, and the maximum economic value of the energy storage business model is brought into play through certain collaborative measures.
On this basis, an optimal energy storage configuration model that maximizes total profits was established, and financial evaluation methods were used to analyze the corresponding business models.
By adjusting peak and valley electricity prices and opening the FM market, energy storage benefits can be greatly improved, which is conducive to promoting the development of zero-carbon big data industrial parks, and technical advances are beneficial for reducing investment costs.
The investment cost of the storage systems includes both energy and power costs. Additionally, to assess the environmental benefits of the planning optimization and operation optimization proposed in this paper, it is necessary to calculate the carbon emissions of the electricity consumed by the system.
This section sets five kinds of peak–valley price difference changes: 0.1 decreased, 0.05 decreased, 0.05 increased, 0.1 increased, investigating the economic influence of altering peak–valley power prices on energy storage projects, as shown in Fig. 8.
In general, the installation capacity of PV and BESS within industrial parks is constrained by internal and external factors including available site space and transformer capacity.
