This paper presents a systematic review on the research and development status of the RTEP in China. First, we analyze the present implementation of China''s RTEP using the principles of electricity pricing in Section 2. Then China''s RTEP development is compared with the practice of some other countries in Section 3.
Besides being an important flexibility solution, energy storage can reduce price fluctuations, lower electricity prices during peak times and empower consumers to adapt their energy consumption to prices and their needs. It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport.
