Section 3 identifies general international energy storage subsidies and a methodology for estimating subsidy options for microgrid is formulated. Section 4 presents results from a numerical example by using real world data and discusses storage subsidies impact on periodical fluctuation of MG diffusion, and the conclusions and suggestions are

Since entering the 21st century, the global photovoltaic (PV) power generation capacity has increased rapidly. Capacity additions grew from 7.2 gigawatts (GW) installed in 2009 to 16.6 GW in 2010. In 2011, the total PV installed capacity in the world increased to 68GW, and exceeded 100 GW in 2012 [1], [2]. China''s domestic market

According to forecasts made by the Chinese Electric Power Research Institute, renewable energy installations will account for 30% of total electric power capacity in China by 2050, of which PV installations will account for 5%. At present, the biggest photovoltaic plant is established in Shilin of Yunnan province.

The results indicate that, while the current energy storage subsidy policies positively stimulate photovoltaic energy storage integration projects, they

Sweden has announced a government subsidy that will cover 60% of the cost for installing a residential energy storage system, up to a maximum of 50,000 kroner (US$5,400).
