Abstract

This study aims to optimize the Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of NiZn batteries using Pareto Optimization (PO) and Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO), which combine Pareto optimization and genetic algorithms (GA). The optimization focuses on the raw material acquisition phase and the end-of-life phase of NiZn batteries to improve their sustainability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The optimization methodology, programmed in MATLAB, is based on a formulation model of LCC and the environmental LCA, using data available from the Ecoinvent database, the OpenLCA software (V1.11.0), and other public databases. Results provide insights about the best combination of countries for acquiring raw materials to manufacture NiZn and for disposing of the waste of NiZn batteries that cannot be recycled. These results were automatically linked to some sustainability KPIs, such as global warming and capital costs, being replicable in case of data updates or changes in production or recycling locations, which were initially considered at Paris (France) and Krefeld (Germany), respectively. These results provided by an AI model were validated by using a sensitivity analysis and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) through an expert panel. The sensitivity analysis ensures the robustness of mathematical parameters and future variations in the market; on the other hand, the AHP validates the Artificial Intelligence (AI) results with interactions of human factors. Further developments should also consider the manufacturing and use phases in the optimization model.
