Abstract
This thesis focuses on the development of a decision-making model to determine the solution for a retired battery. The model evaluates the retired battery from both technical and economical perspectives. It integrates a module-level aging model with an economic evaluation model to assess the values of Second Life Batteries for the most commonly cited second-life use cases. Finally, the highest value among different second life applications is compared with the recycling value to determine the optimal strategy for a given retired Li-ion battery. The initial segment of the thesis is dedicated to crafting a module-level degradation model, followed by the integration of an economic model in the subsequent section to project the resale price of used batteries. The thesis reaches its zenith in the third segment with an illuminating use case study, exemplifying the practical application of the decision-making model. Generally, prioritizing reuse over recycling is economically advantageous. However, specific scenarios may render reuse unprofitable, favoring recycling as a more viable option. This dynamic decision-making model adapts to real-world variables, generating varied optimal strategies in response to evolving conditions.
