Optimising the Geospatial Configuration of a Future Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Industry in the Transition to Electric Vehicles and a Circular Economy
2022
Author(s): Nguyen-Tien V, Dai Q, Harper GDJ, Anderson PA, Elliott RJR
This paper provides an economical, environmental, and geospatial analysis of a future LiB recycling industry in the UK. Hitherto, state-of-the-art assessment methods have evaluated life cycle impacts and costs but have not considered the geographical layer of the problem.
Motorization Management for Development: An Integrated Approach to Improving Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility
2022
Author(s): Roger G, Bose D, Cordeiro M, Darido G, Koupal J, Krishnan R, Neki K, Qiu Y
This report presents the World Bank’s Motorization Management (MM) framework, which is intended to support client countries in the development of policies and measures aimed at managing vehicle stocks in a proactive, phased, and systematic manner to make them safer, cleaner, and more fuel efficient. The MM framework reflects a series of policy considerations and programs that can be implemented to improve the quality of fuels and vehicles in a country’s stock.
Real-Time State of Charge Estimation for Electric Vehicle Power Batteries Using Optimized Filter
2022
Author(s): Maheshwari A, Nageswari S
The main focus of the battery management system is the estimation of the battery's State of Charge (SOC), which is an indicator to determine the driving range of an electric vehicle. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm is the most promising for SOC estimation when the system is running.
What Affects Consumers’ Intention To Recycle Retired EV Batteries in China?
2022
Author(s): Dong B, Ge J
To understand consumers’ intention to recycle EVs’ retired batteries, a study using the theory of planned behavior, value-belief-norm (VBN) theory, and the benefit-risk analysis (BRA) model was combined with three extended factors, namely, recycling experience, policy incentives, and product after-sales.
An Immune Algorithm for Solving the Optimization Problem of Locating the Battery Swapping Stations
2022
Author(s): Zhang H, Zhang K, Zhou Y, Ma L, Zhang Z
In this paper, an integer programming problem model was formulated to reasonably locate battery swapping stations, where total costs (including construction, operation and maintenance, and travel costs) were minimized.
Complete LCA of Battery Electric and Conventional Fuel Vehicles for Freight Trips
2022
Author(s): Middela MS, Mahesh S, Kancharla SR, Ramadurai G, Perme R, Sripada SK, Devi G
The authors estimate freight emissions in Chennai, India, using real-world emission factors obtained from onboard emission measurement systems and trip characteristics collected through an establishment survey.
Environmental Impact of the Second Life of an Automotive Battery: Reuse and Repurpose Based on Ageing Tests
2022
Author(s): Philippot M, Costa D, Hosen M.S, Senécat A, Brouwers E, Nanini-Maury E, Van Mierlo J, Messagie M
This study assesses a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)–lithium titanate oxide (LTO) battery using the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, considering two scenarios for the second life of the battery: the reuse in an EV or its repurpose as stationary storage for energy generated from photovoltaic panels in a Belgian household.
Vehicle Fleet Electrification and Its Effects on the Global Warming Potential of Highway Pavements in the United States
2022
Author(s): Barkh H, Yu A, Friend D, Shani P, Tu Q, Swei O
This study quantifies the impact of vehicle fleet changes on the global warming potential of asphalt concrete pavement systems across the United States via a comprehensive life cycle assessment model
Environmental Impact Assessment of Second Life and Recycling for LiFePO4 Power Batteries in China
2022
Author(s): Wang Y, Tang B, Shen M, Wu Y, Qu S, Hu Y, Feng Y
To investigate the environmental benefits of end-of-life (EoL) stage for LFP batteries, two EoL management scenarios are considered in this study.
Life Cycle Assessment of Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide Batteries and Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries for Electric Vehicles in China
2022
Author(s): Feng T, Guo W, Li Q, Meng Z, Liang W
In this paper, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are the most widely used in the Chinese electric vehicle market, are investigated, and the production, use, and recycling phases of power batteries are specifically analyzed based on life cycle assessment (LCA).
