Specific control and energy management strategies are necessary to deal with the low energy and power capabilities, large inconsistencies, and potential safety concerns when integrating
The disassembled battery modules are designed for remanufacturing in small electric vehicles and repurposing in energy storage systems. The retired batteries were tested
To avoid the waste of sources, the SUAs are the optimal solution, which means these retired batteries can continue to be applied in the market of low performance requirements of battery,
For example, a retired battery with low capacity and internal resistance has a low residual value for energy-based application scenarios but some value for power-based
Researchers at Cornell University, partially funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, recently published a study that outlines ways to sustainably repurpose used lithium-ion electric
Various end-of-life (EOL) options are under development, such as recycling and recovery. Recently, stakeholders have become more confident that giving the retired batteries
Consequently, the repurposing of retired EV batteries aligns with these criteria, as reuse is the best way to increase the total value and life of a battery. Retired batteries from
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion batteries) as a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion batteries)
Batteries with reduced energy storage capacity can be repurposed to store wind and solar energy. The research is key to manufacturing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles that are designed for sustainability instead of performance.
When batteries are retired from automotive service they still have from 50% to 70% of their initial capacity, which opens the possibility to repurpose them for other less demanding applications
Recognizing the distinct environmental advantages of battery reuse, yet there are technical and financial uncertainties that delay their deployment and investment in second
2.2.1 Battery disassembly. The first step of battery disassembly is to remove the battery pack from the EV, which requires the use of a trailer to lift the drive wheels of the
The retired battery energy storage system integrates the retired power batteries of EVs, charging and discharging unit, energy management and control unit, as well as the fire protection and safety protection system. The system power is
Besides ESSs, retired batteries possess a diverse range of potential applications 18, spanning various fields, such as communication base stations (CBSs) 14, 17 and low-speed vehicles (LSVs) 19, 20.
Based on the process-based life cycle assessment method, we present a strategy to optimize pathways of retired battery treatments economically and environmentally. The strategy is applied to various reuse scenarios with capacity configurations, including energy storage systems, communication base stations, and low-speed vehicles.
Reuse and recycling of retired electric vehicle (EV) batteries offer a sustainable waste management approach but face decision-making challenges. Based on the process-based life cycle assessment method, we present a strategy to optimize pathways of retired battery treatments economically and environmentally.
With useful life of around a decade, they provide far cheaper energy storage than available options, and can accelerate the grid penetration of intermittent renewables. Their reuse also partially offsets the need for production of energy storage batteries.
After 8-10 years of services as powertrain for EVs, used batteries could still retain up to 70-80% of the total capacity which could be further utilised in a wide range of energy storage applications. The key is to match the 'right' batteries with the 'right' applications.
Supplementary Fig. 7 demonstrates the economic performance in the LSV-Sig scenario using internal combustion engine vehicles for comparison, showing a shift from negative to positive economic viability for LSV with the use of retired batteries compared to the conventional fossil-based paradigm.
