Site Selection of Trade-in Recycling Points for Waste Batteries of Electromobiles Based on the Large Scale System Theory
As the electromobile industry in China develops,the issue of recycling waste batteries becomes increasingly important. Based on the large scale system theory,a model for site selection of recycling points for waste batteries under the trade-in model is constructed to maximize the profits of battery manufacturing enterprises. Utilizing the geographical locations of Y brand electromobile sales points and battery manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai,LINGO software was used to determine the optimal site selection scheme. In the case analysis,290 recycling points were reasonable set,resulting in a total profit of 47. 67456 million yuan. Sensitivity analysis indicated that changes in remanufacturing ratio and trade-in demand ratio significantly impacted enterprise profit. An increase in demand under a low remanufacturing ratio negatively affected profit,while a high remanufacturing ratio could mitigate this effect,though excessively high demand was still hard to enhance profit. Additionally,changes in the number of recycling points and trade-in discount rates significantly influenced profit,with increased recycling points under low discount rates being detrimental compared to high discount rates. This study provides a basis for optimizing production and sales strategies for battery manufacturers.
