Circular Economy - Repurpose and Reusing 2nd Life EV Batteries (XceLL-Life)

随着世界各国政府、汽车制造商和最终用户为减少全球变暖影响和遏制带来环境灾难的气候变化而采取的措施，对电动汽车（EV）的需求正在激增。由于道路上的电动汽车越来越多，全球每年都会生产更多的可充电电动汽车电池，这些电池含有昂贵的材料。解决电动汽车电池使用寿命结束时的电池浪费问题是迫切需要的，否则将对环境和公众造成威胁和污染。虽然有关如何处理第一寿命电池的各个方面的研究仍在继续，但有一些解决方案可以在“第二寿命”应用中利用这些电池。这些二次寿命电池通常含有60%到70%的剩余寿命。典型的应用之一是在“电池储能解决方案”中使用。“XceLL-Life”项目的创新之处在于将这种二次寿命的电动汽车电池和可充电电池扩展、再利用、再利用和再制造为工业和商业应用的新产品，在使用电动机的应用中，通过将电池管理系统和电机的智能设计相结合，延长电池的使用寿命。这一新的解决方案和机会有助于在“循环经济”中发挥重要作用，重新利用和再利用第二生命电动汽车电池，也推迟了电池材料的“回收”，提高了电池材料的效率，远远超过了其主要寿命，提高了制造可充电电池所使用的资源的生产力。这种循环经济将电池重新用于新产品和应用，除了降低产品成本外，还将为商业，研发和收入带来许多机会。这种可持续的英国材料有助于绿色能源倡议和工业脱碳战略以及气候变化和政府的净零排放政策。这项技术将在未来几年为广大利益相关者和公众带来直接和间接效益，解决电池浪费、环境污染、维持电池材料和与循环经济相关的经济问题。

The demand for Electric Vehicles (EV) is surging in alignment with steps taken by government all across the world and vehicle manufacturers and end-users to reduce global warming impact and to contain climatic changes which brings environmental disasters.As a result of more Electric Vehicles on the roads, more rechargeable EV batteries which contains costly materials are manufactured every year globally.There is an urgent need to tackle the battery waste at the end of life of usage of the EV Batteries without which it will be cause menace and pollution to the environment and public.While research is continuing in all aspects on how to deal with the end-of-1st-life battery cells, there are solutions to utilise these batteries in "2nd-Life" applications. These 2nd-Life batteries typical contain 60% to 70% of remaining life inside the cells. One of the typical application is to use in "Battery Energy Storage Solutions".The innovation of this project "XceLL-Life" is about Extending, Repurposing, Reusing and Re-manufacturing such 2nd-Life EV battery cells and rechargeable battery cells into new products in Industrial and Commercial applications where suitable to prolong the life of the battery cells by using combination of smart design of Battery Management system and Electrical Machine, in applications where Electric Motor is used.This new solution and opportunity helps to play an important role in the "Circular Economy" of repurposing and reusing the 2nd-Life EV Battery and also delays the "Recycling" of battery cell materials and improves the efficiency of the battery materials by going far beyond its prime life and increases the productivity of the resources employed in making the rechargeable batteries.This circular economy of reusing battery cells for new products and applications which is not in use today will bring lot of opportunities in business, R&D, revenues in addition to reducing the product cost.This sustainable UK materials helps in Green Energy initiatives and Industrial decarbonisation strategy and the climatic change and Net-Zero emission policies by the government.This technology plays a vital part in bringing direct and indirect benefits across wide stakeholders and publics in the coming years in tackling the waste of battery cells, environmental pollution, sustaining the battery materials and economies associated with the Circular Economy.
