Abstract

While substantial research has been devoted to the advancement of energy storage technology, the exploration of public attitudes or adoption willingness towards this technology remains comparatively limited. This paucity of research hinders the widespread application of energy storage technology. Community shared energy storage (CSES) is a practical model of energy storage systems for the public user side. Based on the ABC (Affect, Behavior, and Cognition) model of attitudes, this study constructed a theoretical model for the formative mechanism of public willingness to participate in CSES (WTPIC). Through empirical research conducted in Guangzhou, China, it is clarified that energy storage cognition (ESC) has a significant positive impact on WTPIC. Second, enhancing prosuming-value perception and reducing perceived risk are the main mechanisms by which ESC affects WTPIC. Third, personal innovativeness and community identity have a moderating effect at different stages. Finally, further simulation experiments revealed that the behavior of refusing to participate in CSES has a high diffusion rate and depth. Meanwhile, the positive effects of information incentive policies and economic incentive policies have been supported. This study enhances the understanding of public energy storage behavior and helps promote the diversified application of user-side energy storage.

理解社区共享储能中的公众参与：意愿的形成机制及后续行为扩散过程

虽然对储能技术的进步进行了大量的研究，但对公众对该技术的态度或采用意愿的探索仍然相对有限。这种研究的缺乏阻碍了储能技术的广泛应用。社区共享储能（CSES）是一种面向公共用户端的实用储能系统模式。本研究以态度的ABC （Affect, Behavior, and Cognition）模型为基础，构建了公众参与CSES （WTPIC）意愿形成机制的理论模型。通过在中国广州的实证研究，明确了储能认知（ESC）对WTPIC有显著的正向影响。第二，提高生产价值感知和降低感知风险是ESC影响WTPIC的主要机制。第三，个人创新和社区认同在不同阶段具有调节作用。最后，进一步的模拟实验表明，拒绝参与CSES的行为具有较高的扩散速率和深度。同时，信息激励政策和经济激励政策的积极作用得到了支持。本研究增强了对公众储能行为的认识，有助于推动用户侧储能的多元化应用。

期刊介绍： Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
