6 FAQs about [Energy storage battery retirement standards]
Can retired batteries be used in the energy storage system?
Before using retired batteries in the energy storage system (ESS), the remaining capacities of batteries need to be examined or estimated to initiate a safe and economical operation in second-life applications. As mentioned in Section 3, batteries with different SOH levels would be available for second-life applications.
Do retired power batteries meet echelon utilization requirements?
Retired power batteries should be tested and selected in order to meet the requirements of echelon utilization. Chen L proposed a new lithium-ion battery performance degradation model to predict its capacity decay, resistance increase and residual cycle life under various service modes [ 16 ].
How to evaluate a retired battery?
The conventional safety tests, such as thermal, electrical, and mechanical abuse tests, are still useful in safety evaluation for retired batteries.115 Specialized tests or algorithms to detect minor defects inside the retired batteries (such as ISCs and lithium plating) should be developed.
Are retired batteries safe?
All battery cells operate within a predefined range of conditions to ensure safety, encapsulated in the “safety envelope” concept . However, compared to fresh lithium-ion batteries, retired batteries potentially pose higher safety threats due to prolonged use and internal anomalies like gas generation and lithium plating.
When should batteries retire from an EV?
To sum up, the point at which batteries should retire from an EV should be re-considered by analyzing the trade-offs between demand and supply in the new revolving economy system. As in human life, planning for the retirement of the EV battery packs starts with thinking about their retirement goals and how long they have to meet them.
Are retired lithium-ion batteries safe?
However, compared to fresh lithium-ion batteries, retired batteries potentially pose higher safety threats due to prolonged use and internal anomalies like gas generation and lithium plating. Challenges arise when assessing the safety performance of retired batteries since they have typically undergone complex degradation processes.
