Abstract

In the context of “carbon neutral”, distributed energy, including photovoltaic power generation and energy storage systems, is developing rapidly. Meanwhile, the new generation of information technology, such as “Cloud computing, Big data, the Internet of things, Mobile Internet, AI, Blockchain”, is driving the digital transformation of the energy industry. Under digital drive, how the agents in the photovoltaic–storage–use value chain collaborate and create value intelligently is a question worthy of deep consideration. Firstly, the value creation mechanism and collaborative process of the digital-driven photovoltaic–storage–use value chain are analyzed from a value intelligence creation perspective. Secondly, the tripartite evolutionary game model of photovoltaic power generator, energy storage provider and user is established. Finally, the influencing factors of digital- driven photovoltaic–storage–use value chain collaboration are explored through a numerical simulation, and management suggestions are put forward. The study finds the following: (1) The behavior choice of each agent in the value chain will affect the decision of other agents. In particular, the photovoltaic power generator has a great influence on the cooperative willingness of other agents. To promote value chain collaboration, the guiding role of the photovoltaic power generator should be fully realized. (2) Agents on the value chain can use a variety of digital technologies to improve enabling benefits, which is conducive to promoting value chain collaboration. (3) The driving costs and potential risks are obstacles for value chain collaboration. Cost reduction and risk prevention are effective ways to improve the willingness of collaboration. (4) Reasonable incentive compensation mechanisms and information asymmetry punishment measures are the keys to enhancing collective willingness. This research provides theoretical support for photovoltaic–storage–use value chain collaboration from a value intelligence creation perspective.
