Research on used power battery cutting parameters optimization for low carbon and high efficiency
Abstract The cutting process of used power battery is a key step for recycling its materials, and it is energy-intensive and high carbon emission process. To reduce the carbon emissions of the used power battery cutting process, the relationship between the carbon emissions of the cutting process and its process parameters was analyzed based on the safety requirements. Next, the multi-objective optimization model for cutting process parameters is established with the goal of minimum carbon emissions and shortest cutting time, which takes into account the constraints of the cutting device’s and the safety requirements. For the strong nonlinear characteristics of the optimization model, an improved PSO algorithm is used to solve the model. A case study of cutting a certain type of used power battery is illustrated to verify the validity of the established model.
