TESSA

TESSA project seeks to develop a flexible technical economic and environmental model of second life applications for used electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The proposed work brings together highly detailed technical models of battery operation and ageing, economic analysis of energy systems, life-cycle assessment, and data on EV driver preferences. This interdisciplinary approach will be used to improve the economics and carbon benefits of second life EV batteries, to understand the ideal time for drivers to replace their EV battery, and assess the overall benefits of EV battery secondary uses. The project is connected to the CUMIN program at the University of Lille, making use of the existing research capabilities while contributing new analytical tools. The first study case will be applied to the “Cité Scientifique” campus of University of Lille, with its future EV fleet and charging stations supplied by renewable energy. After this first case study, extensions will be developed for France, Europe, USA and the world.
