Get a quoteBattery second use substantially reduces primary Li-ion batteries needed for energy storage systems deployment. Battery second use, which extracts additional values from retired electric vehicle batteries through repurposing them in energy storage systems, is promising in reducing the demand for new batteries.
However, the potential scale of battery second use and the consequent battery conservation benefits are largely unexplored. This study bridges such a research gap by simulating the dynamic interactions between vehicle batteries and batteries used in energy storage systems in China's context.
Discussion and Conclusions Stationary, second use battery energy storage systems are considered a cost-efficient alternative to first use storage systems and electrical energy storage systems in general.
In developing countries, off-grid applications dominate. Furthermore, the paper identifies economic, environmental, technological, and regulatory obstacles to the incorporation of repurposed batteries in second use battery energy storage systems and lists the developments needed to allow their future uptake.
Battery energy storage systems have been investigated as storage solutions due to their responsiveness, efficiency, and scalability. Storage systems based on the second use of discarded electric vehicle batteries have been identified as cost-efficient and sustainable alternatives to first use battery storage systems.
Several European vehicle manufacturers, especially the leading players in the EV market, have introduced second-life battery alternatives in a variety of energy storage applications, from small-scale home energy storage to containerized SLB solutions in distributed energy systems .
