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.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, with the change of equilibrium price and trade volume, the subsidy policy can ensure that the value obtained by agricultural producers is higher than the international value.The supply will increase and the corresponding outlet supply will move to the lower right. World prices also show an upward and downward
