지난 수년 간 다량으로 배출되고 있는 폐 배터리를 에너지 저장장치(ESS)로서 재활용하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 ESS 시스템에는 사용하는 배터리마다의 규격이나 이전 사용 시 수명, 배출 시 상태의 차이가 존재하기 때문에 각 배터리 간 셀밸런싱 시스템이 필수로 요구된다. 현재까지 직렬형, 병렬형 등이 연구되고 있지만 모듈화나 신뢰성 등을 만족 시키기 위해서는 병렬형이 유리하다. 본 논문에서는 양방향 리니어 레귤레이터를 사용하며 셀 벨런싱 회로가 없는 병렬형 충방전 시스템을 제안하고자 한다.

전기자동차 보급 확대로 인해 2018년부터 전 세계적으로 폐배터리가 다량으로 배출될 것으로 예상되어 폐 배터리를 에너지저장장치(ESS)로 재활용하는 방안이 연구되고 있다. 하지만 배터리간 규격이나 수명, 상태의 차이가 존재하기 때문에 셀밸런싱 시스템이 필수로 요구된다. 기존에는 이러한 시스템으로 직렬형 시스템을 채용하고 있지만 모듈화나 신뢰성 등 시스템이 요구하는 조건을 만족시키기 어렵다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 기존 시스템과 차별화 된 분산 충 방전 병렬 시스템을 제안하고 그에 사용되는 전력조절기를 소개하고자 한다.

전기 자동차 및 신재생에너지 시장 확대로 EV, HEV, LEV 등 전기자동차의 수요가 증가함에 따라 2020년을 기점으로 백만개 이상의 리튬-이온 폐배터리가 생성될 것으로 예상되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 폐배터리는 잔여용량이 80%수준에서 교체되고 있어서 화학적 분해를 통한 재활용 이전에 안정적인 에너지저장장치로서 재사용할 수 있는 가능성을 보유하고 있다. 본고에서는 향후 지속적으로 발생이 예상되는 전기자동차의 폐배터리를 이용하여 에너지저장장치를 구성하는 방법에 대하여 다양한 다양한 국내외 기관들의 기술 및 연구동향에 대해 알아보고, 이를 바탕으로 효율적인 에너지저장장치 구성방법과 이를 확산하기 위한 사업화 방안 등을 알아본다.

The use of lithium-ion batteries increases significantly with the rapid spread of electronic devices and electric vehicle and thereby an increase in the amount of waste batteries is expected in the near future. Therefore, studies are continuously being conducted to recover various resources of cathode active material (Ni, Co, Mn, Li) from waste battery. In order to recover the cathode active material, black mass is generally recovered from waste battery. The general process of recovering black mass is a waste battery collection - discharge - dismantling - crushing - classification process. This study focus on the crushing/classification process among the processes. Specifically, the particle size distribution of various samples at each crushing/classification step were evaluated, and the particle shape of each particle fraction was analyzed with a microscope and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)-EDS(Energy Dispersive Spectrometer). As a result, among the black mass particle, fine particle less than 74 ㎛ was the mixture of cathode and anode active material which are properly liberated from the current metals. However, coarse particle larger than 100 ㎛ was present in a form in which the current metal and active material were combined. In addition, this study developed a PBM(Population Balance Model) system that can simulate two-species mixture sample with two different crushing properties. Using developed model, the breakage parameters of two species was derived and predictive performance of breakage distribution was verified.

The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle market has led to increased demand for battery recycling technologies. The recycling of spent batteries is crucial to stabilize the supply of rare metals, including lithium, cobalt and nickel, which are essential components for the battery industry. In addition, the technology for recycling spent batteries can help to reduce environmental and health impacts. This review presents the theoretical principles behind the metal recovery technology and the processes that are currently commercially available. It also describes trends in research and technological developments that aim to improve existing processes, and provides an overview of where recycling technology is headed.

Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most interesting devices in a number of energy storage systems. In particular, the usage of energy storage devices is increasing due to an increase in demand for renewable energy as a distributed power supply source, stable supply of electric power, and expansion of electric vehicles. Of late, the recycling and restoration technology of waste lithium ion batteries due to the increase in its usage amount as the energy storage system is a socially and economically important research field. In this review, we intend to describe the performance diagnosis, recycling or restoration technology of lithium ion battery and its potential development.

In this study, we proposed the necessity of reusing the battery industry after domestic use, preparing legal arrangements by step for recycling, clarifying responsible materials by processing stage, and establishing infrastructure and screening diagnostic rating system. The purpose of this study is to establish a life cycle integrated management system for electric vehicle batteries and to find suitable ways for improving the lifespan of electric vehicle batteries, reuse, and recycling in stages to avoid other environmental pollution problems due to batteries after using electric vehicles used to reduce environmental pollution due to climate change.

According to the IEA (2022), global rechargeable battery demand is expected to reach 1.3 TWh in 2040. EV batteries will account for about 80% of this demand, and used EV batteries are expected to be discharged after 30 years. Used EV batteries can be recycled and reused to create new value. They can also resolve one of the most vulnerable parts of the battery supply chain: raw material insecurity. In this study, we analyzed the amount of used batteries generated by EV in Korea and their potential for reuse and recycling. As a result, it was estimated that the annual generation of used batteries for EV began to increase to more than 100,000 in '31 and expanded to 810,000 in '45. In addition, it was found that the market for recycling EV batteries in '45 could be expected to be equivalent to the production of 1 million batteries, and the market for reuse could be expected to be equivalent to the production of 36 Gwh of batteries. On the other hand, according to the plan standard disclosed by the recycling company, domestic used EV batteries can account for 11% of the domestic recycling processing capacity (pre-treatment) ('30). So it will be important to manage the import and export of used batteries in terms of securing raw materials.
