Batteries are known to decrease in capacity and increase in internal resistance, but it is quite uncommon to further investigate the performance decay, distinguishing classes of ageing mechanisms (resistive, kinetic and mass-transport) and relating them with the operation. This work exploits the P2D model to understand the performance decay of ageing cells from a physical perspective. A complex experimental campaign combining 13 different automotive-like cycles, applied to commercial battery samples to recreate the degradation of batteries under realistic conditions, is analysed with such methodology. Along the ageing tests, physical models' parameters are periodically identified by means of particle swarm optimisation applied over characterisation tests. Parameter evolution is then correlated with specific degradation mechanisms, related operating conditions and performance decay. A significant decrease in electrolyte conductivity and lithium solid-state diffusivity within the positive electrode are detected, progressively inducing heterogeneous operation and worsening of both efficiency and capacity retention. Particularly, cycle depth appears to promote particle cracking and loss of positive electrode material. Post-mortem analyses are then performed to support the interpretations on degradation mechanisms, confirming the degradation of electrolyte and positive electrode.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36355,"journal":{"name":"Etransportation","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100410"},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a novel method combining multi-site detection signals for the uneven internal SOC distribution estimation has been proposed, including Gaussian process regression-active learning (GPR-AL) and deep residual-pooling extreme learning machine (DR-PELM).

In order to reduce the environmental impact of this boom, there is the potential to reuse the batteries from electric vehicles. However, the technical and economic feasibility of the second-life of lithium-ion batteries remains in question. This is due to the intricate non-linear mechanisms that occur during battery degradation, leading to capacity and power loss. Ongoing research aims to create models that can predict the state of battery degradation. However, most studies have focused on the battery’s first life, operating within a limited state of health range and requiring constant monitoring of the battery’s exposure conditions. While these models provide satisfactory results for the battery’s performance in vehicles, they cannot be directly applied to second-life scenarios. In response to this issue, this article proposes a degradation modeling method for second-life batteries based on identifying and linearizing different degradation trends within the battery. This approach allows the application of the model without prior knowledge of the battery’s history. It has been validated for a state of health range of 95% to 20%, through both conventional charge-discharge tests and a real-world scenario involving a smart charging station for urban buses. The results obtained with the developed model are overall satisfactory, achieving a MAPE below 3% for capacity and 1.4% for internal resistance in the real-world scenario.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36355,"journal":{"name":"Etransportation","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100400"},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143386343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses the gap in quantifying the flexibility potential of EVs within buildings and developing investment strategies for charging piles, which have been overlooked in previous research. To tackle this, we propose an equivalent energy storage model and introduce the discount factor as a metric to assess EV dispatch capabilities and optimize the charging infrastructure installation. The research employs three charging modes and a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) optimization framework to minimize net load variability. Key results demonstrate a tradeoff between the number of charging piles and dispatch capability. Bidirectional smart charging (BSC) significantly enhances flexibility, while charging piles exceeding 30 kW offer limited benefits. Furthermore, integrating photovoltaics (PV) substantially increases dispatch potential, with PV penetration above 20 % making charging pile investments more advantageous than battery. Once PV penetration exceeds 40 %, nearly all parking spaces in buildings can accommodate charging piles. The study quantifies EVs’ equivalent storage capacity and concludes that strategic investment in slow charging piles and high PV penetration is highly effective.
