Abstract The green and low carbon transition and development of the electricity industry is the most crucial task in realizing the “dual-carbon target”, and it is urgent to explore the incentive and subsidy mechanism to promote green electricity consumption and the cost-sharing strategy of carbon reduction, to alleviate the pressure of carbon abatement cost of each subject of the electricity supply chain. Against this background, this paper takes into account the low-carbon subsidies provided by the government and the incentive subsidies for users, and studies the optimal decision-making of each subject in the electricity supply chain,… More >

Abstract As the Chinese government proposes ambitious plans to promote low-carbon transition, energy storage will play a pivotal role in China’s future power system. However, due to the lack of a mature electricity market environment and corresponding mechanisms, current energy storage in China faces problems such as unclear operational models, insufficient cost recovery mechanisms, and a single investment entity, making it difficult to support the rapid development of the energy storage industry. In contrast, European and American countries have already embarked on certain practices in energy storage operation models. Through exploration of key issues such as… More >

Abstract This study delves into the formation dynamics of alliances within a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) that encompasses a manufacturer, a retailer, and an e-commerce platform. It leverages Stackelberg game for this exploration, contrasting the equilibrium outcomes of a non-alliance model with those of three differentiated alliance models. The non-alliance model acts as a crucial benchmark, enabling the evaluation of the motivations for various supply chain entities to engage in alliance formations. Our analysis is centered on identifying the most effective alliance strategies and establishing a coordination within these partnerships. We thoroughly investigate the consequences of… More >
