These “second life” applications can substitute for newly-manufactured battery energy storage systems and in some cases expand the role of stationary energy storage, such as when new systems may be prohibitively expensive, but a lower cost refurbished system can meet the desired performance requirements.
End-of-Life Management of Lithium-ion Energy Storage Systems that described the current status of Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery EOL management, including regulatory requirements, reuse and recycling technology options, and initiatives to address concerns around the approaching end-of-life of ESS.
Utility companies always recycle batteries from decommissioned BESSs since they do not want any liability associated with reuse/repurposing. Other BESS owners/operators could consider reuse/repurposing, but at present the volume of reusable/repurposable batteries is too small for them to make a business case.
With deployments on a gigawatt-hour (GWh) scale of ESS battery systems planned, the industry must address an approach for managing the extensive fleet of advanced industrial batteries that are being deployed now and will need to be managed responsibly upon reaching end-of-life in future years.
