Abstract. Microgrid development is presently limited due to high costs, especially its energy storage system (ESS) component. ESS subsidy policies, as the main response options, seem essential to be explored to promote the diffusion of microgrid. In this study, we propose an evolutionary game model combined with real options to guide ESS ...
