Photovoltaic energy storage suspended

In a major policy shift toward electricity market liberalization, China has introduced contract-for-difference (CfD) auctions for renewable plants and removed the energy storage mandate, which has driven up to 75% of national demand to date. Among the many forms of energy storage systems utilised for both standalone and grid-connected PV systems, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is another viable storage option [93, 94]. An example of this is demonstrated in the schematic in Fig. 10 which gives an example of a hybrid compressed air storage system.
