Battery management systems (BMS) have evolved with the widespread adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). This paper takes an in-depth look into the trends affecting BMS development, as well as how the major subsystems work together to improve safety and eficiency.
The BMS protects the battery from damage, extends the life of the battery with intelligent charging and discharging algorithms, predicts how much battery life is left, and maintains the battery in an operational condition. Lithium-ion battery cells present significant challenges, demanding a sophisticated electronic control system.
To address this issue, Hellmuth et al. introduced a method for the automated assessment of EV LIB disassembly. The method comprises two evaluation categories, where the first pertains to the feasibility of automating disassembly operations, and the second focuses on determining the necessity of automation.
This survey aims to provide a systematic update on the latest development of disassembly technology for EoL LIBs, which is a critical enabler for EV LIB recycling.
In the process of disassembling battery cells, various components, including cathodes, anodes, compounds, separators, etc., also necessitate the utilisation of cutting operations for separation.
Barriers to the adoption of a pure robot-based disassembly solution include fastener connections that are not disassembly-friendly, parts in an unstable form and location (e.g., cables needing to be cut), difficulties in removing rusted screws and bolts, etc.
