A multi-objective segmentation scheduling method for the flexible dismantling of retired power batteries taking into account transfer time

Abstract

Decommissioned power batteries are prone to dilapidated deformation, which makes it difficult to carry out unified and efficient production scheduling for disassembly production. In this paper, a multi-objective scheduling method applied to the dismantling workshop of retired power batteries is presented. For the characteristics of power battery dismantling, a strategy of scheduling by a battery pack and battery module in stages is proposed. The multi-objective optimal scheduling model of the dismantling workshop is established with the decision objectives of reducing the time of completion, energy dissipation and workstation load, taking into account the transfer time of batteries in the dismantling process, and is solved by genetic algorithm. The chromosome coding method, the crossover variation method and the elite retention strategy in the genetic algorithm were optimized. The method is applied to the dismantling examples of 5 kinds of power batteries, and the simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective.
