A study of life cycle simulation of a system consisting of electric vehicle and home storage battery

Abstract

With the background of regional environmental regulations and improvement of battery technology, the popularization of electric vehicles is advancing. On the other hand, the new business model for the utilization of the battery of the electric vehicle such as battery reuse of the electric vehicle and demand substitution for the battery has been actualized. The purpose of this study is to develop a life cycle simulation model considering reuse from electric vehicles to home storage batteries and demand substitution between electric vehicles and home storage batteries. The rule for controlling reuse and demand substitution of the battery was embedded in the system, and the behavior of the rules was confirmed through the scenario evaluation.
