The needs of modern grids for frequency regulation, power smoothing, and peak shaving can be met using retired batteries.
Several European vehicle manufacturers, especially the leading players in the EV market, have introduced second-life battery alternatives in a variety of energy storage applications, from small-scale home energy storage to containerized SLB solutions in distributed energy systems .
Second life batteries (SLBs), also referred to as retired or repurposed batteries, are lithium-ion batteries that have reached the end of their primary use in applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems (Zhu et al., 2021a).
Moreover, these batteries can also be employed for revenue generation for energy arbitrage (EA). While there are articles reviewing the general applications of retired batteries, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the research work on applications of the second-life batteries (SLBs) specific to the power grid and SLB degradation.
These batteries have many viable applications in a second life format; for example, to provide an energy store within our grid energy networks, to complement the intermittent loading associated with renewable energy harvesting methods (Zhu et al., 2021a; Martinez-Laserna et al., 2018).
