13 In this section:
14
15 * Cell capacity – nominal capacity of cells, Ah;
16 * Cell resistance – nominal (maximum) internal resistance of the cells, Ohm;
17 * Relax time (after charging) – a relaxation time after charging, second;
18 * Relax time (atfer discharging) – a relaxation time after discharging, second;
19 * Reset parameters – a command to reset cells state of charge, capacity, and resistance;
20 * Method of calculating the battery voltage:
21 ** Summation of cell voltages – the overall voltage is calculated as on sum of all cells in the battery;
22 ** Using voltage before contactors – the overall voltage is estimated as voltage before contactors measured by BMS.
23
24 The values “Capacity”, “Resistance”, “Cycles” are used to calculate the SOC of cells and the battery.
25
26 The values of “Relax time” are used to determine the state of the battery. If the battery is in a state of relaxation, the system recalculates the voltage on the cells to the state of charge of the battery.
27
28 The “Reset parameters” will reset:
29
30 * state of charge (new cell SOC values will be calculated based on cell voltage and “Uocv (open-circuit voltage) table”: in the “Control → SOC estimation” section);
31 * cell resistance to “Cell resistance” value;
32 * battery capacity to “Cell capacity” value.
33
34 The “Reset parameters” command is used for starting-up and adjustment of the battery.
35
36 === SOC estimation ===
37
38 The BMS Main 3 device calculates the state of charge of the battery (SOC) using two algorithms:
39
40 * by open circuit voltage;
41 * by voltage and current.
42
43 It is recommended to use the algorithm of calculation of SOC by voltage and current.
44
45 To change the estimation algorithm for calculating the battery SOC, select the "Control → SOC estimation → Algorithm" section:

49
50 The following estimation algorithms supported:
51
52 * Voltage – by open circuit voltage;
53 * Current and voltage (simplified) – recommended for LFP cells;
54 * Current and voltage (enhanced) – recommended for NMC cells.
55
56 The **“Voltage”** SOC calculation algorithm calculates cells SOC based on the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t °C).
57
58 The **“Current and voltage (simplified)”** SOC calculation algorithm works as follows:
59
60 * if I = 0, the battery is in the state of relaxation and the cell voltage Uocv is outside the [U,,ocv[point 1],,; U,,ocv[point 2],,], the SOC calculation is based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t °C);
61 * in any other cases, the SOC value is proportional to the charge (coulomb) passed through the battery (current time integral).
62
63 The **“Current and voltage (enhanced)” **SOC calculation algorithm differs from the simplified algorithm by online correction of the effective capacity. When using this algorithm, it is necessary to fine tune the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t °C).
64
65 To change the algorithm for calculating the Final SOC, select the "Control → SOC estimation → Final SOC" section:
66
67 [[image:1733322611551-852.png||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="148" width="800"]]
68
69 The following calculation methods are supported (“Final SOC”):
70
71 * Minimal SOC – the battery SOC is assumed to be the minimum SOC among the cells;
72 * Average SOC – the battery SOC is taken equal to the arithmetic average of the cell SOC;
73 * Min-Max SOC – the battery SOC is calculated based on the minimum and maximum SOC of the cells. Final SOC will be a) 100% if any cell have 100% SOC, b) 0% if any cell have 0% SOC;
74 * Max-Min SOC – the battery SOC is calculated based on the minimum and maximum SOC of the cells. Final SOC will be a) 100% if all cells have 100% SOC, b) 0% if all cells have 0% SOC;
75
76 Other parameters:
77
78 * Scale the final SOC – a flag to scale the battery SOC by the following values;
79 * SOC corresponding to 0% – the battery SOC that sets to be 0%;
80 * SOC corresponding to 100% – the battery SOC that sets to be 100%.
81 * Uocv (open-circuit voltage) table – the dependence of the cell open circuit voltage Uocv on SOC and the cell temperature (selected for specific batteries);
82 * Linear zone - linear zone of the Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t°C) dependency, inside which the cell voltage changes insignificantly:
83 ** Linear zone: point 1 – starting point of the Uocv linear zone;
84 ** Linear zone: point 2 – ending point of the Uocv linear zone;
85 * Coulomb counting correction (temperature) – the dependence of battery capacity on temperature;
86 * Coulomb counting correction (cycles) – the dependence of battery capacity on the number of charge-discharge cycles.
87
88 === SOC correction ===
89
90 The BMS Main 3 device can recalculate the battery SOC after long-term storage or after long-term working in the case when the battery was not charged fully or discharged totally. Recalculation is done based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t) (see [[SOC estimation>>doc:||anchor="HSOCestimation"]]).
91
92 To configure parameters for periodically correcting the battery state of charge, select the "Control → SOC correction" section:
93
94 [[image:1733322624656-766.png||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="121" width="800"]]
95
96 In this section:
97
98 * Enable – a flag to enable the SOC correction;
99 * Shutdown period – a time the battery is off, day. If the BMS detects on its startup that it was off during the “Shutdown period” time, the BMS recalculates the battery state of charge based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t);
100 * Correction period – a period of correcting the battery SOC, day. If the BMS detects that the last correction was more than the “Correction period” ago, the BMS recalculates the battery state of charge based on the tabular dependency Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t) and tunes it gradually during the “SOC change time”.
101 * SOC change time – a duration of the linear changing the battery SOC to the value calculated by the correction algorithm, minute;
102 * Ignore the linear zone – a flag to ignore linear SOC zone while correction (recommended to be unset);
103 * Last correction timestamp – time when last correction was made.
104
105 === Resistance estimation ===
106
107 Calculation of the resistance of cells is carried out in two ways. The first method is used when the battery passes from a relaxation state to a charge or discharge state, wherein the cell resistance value
108
109 {{formula fontSize="SMALL" imageType="PNG"}}
110 R = \frac{U-U_{ocv}}{I_{stable}}
111 {{/formula}}
112
113 where U — the cell voltage measured in the charge or discharge state, V; U,,ocv,, — cell voltage measured in the state of relaxation (before switching to the state of charge or discharge); I,,stable,, — stabilized current through the cell in the state of charge or discharge.
114
115 The second method is used for a stepwise change in the current through the cell, while the value of the cell resistance:
116
117 {{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
118 R = \frac{U_2-U_1}{I_{stable2}-I_{stable1}}
119 {{/formula}}
120
121 provided that
122
123 {{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
124 | I_{stable2}-I_{stable1} | > 0.2 × Qmax
125 {{/formula}}
126
127 where Q,,max,, — the maximum cell capacity,U,,2,, — voltage on the cell at the moment when the stabilized current I,,stable2,, is flowing through it; U,,1,, — the voltage on the cell at the moment when the stabilized current I,,stable1,, flowing through it.
128
129 The stabilized current I,,stable,, = I, if during the stabilization time the instantaneous current I is in the range from 0.95 × I to 1.05 × I.

139 * Maximum resistance factor – the coefficient of calculation of the maximum acceptable resistance of the cell;
140 * Minimum SOC – minimum cell SOC value for resistance calculation;
141 * Maximum SOC – maximum cell SOC value for resistance calculation.
142
143 The calculated resistance is accepted by the system as valid (and therefore updated) if its value is in the range from Resistance / 2 to “Maximum resistance factor” × Resistance, where "Resistance" is the nominal resistance of the cell (see [[Common settings>>doc:||anchor="HCommonsettings"]]).

427 === Charge ===
428
429 There are two contactors that serve charging the battery: a charging contactor and an allow charging contactor. With the help of the allow charging contactor, the BMS commands the charger to start or stop charging.

588
589 The BMS Main 3 device can control the power supply of external equipment using the auxiliary (AUX) discharging contactor. An example of external equipment can be an inverter that converts DC to AC to power a service laptop and other devices.
590
591 The power supply circuit of the external equipment using the auxiliary (AUX) discharging contactor is independent of the battery load circuit. The closing and opening of the auxiliary (AUX) discharging contactor is performed according to its program.
592
593 If the power supply function of the external equipment is enabled, the auxiliary (AUX) discharging contactor closes. The opening of this contactor occurs on three independent conditions:
594
595 * the battery has low SOC;
596 * the battery voltage is out of range;
597 * the battery system errors are detected.

617 === Cell balancing ===
618
619 Balancing makes the voltage of all cells equal to the minimum cell voltage.
620
621 The following balancing rules are supported:
622
623 * when the battery is charging (current I > 0) and time after until the battery is relaxed;
624 * when the battery is charging (current I > 0) or when the battery is in a state of relaxation;
625 * always (regardless of battery state).
626
627 A balancing resistor is connected to the cell if the following conditions are simultaneously met:
628
629 * the voltage on the cell is higher than the balancing start voltage;
630 * the difference between the voltage on the cell and the minimum voltage among the battery cells is greater than the balancing start threshold.
631
632 A balancing resistor is disconnected from the cell if any of the following conditions are met:
633
634 * the voltage on the cell is less than the balancing start voltage;
635 * the difference between the voltage on the cell and the minimum voltage among the battery cells is less than the balancing stop threshold.
636
637 If the “High logic temperature” occurs, then the balancing of the cells connected to the overheated BMS Logic device will not be performed.
638
639 The BMS Main 3 can enable the cell balancing by the external “Balancing request” signal. Balancing process will be started to cells which the voltage is higher than the balancing start voltage and the difference between the cell voltage and the minimum voltage among all the cells is greater than the balancing stop threshold.

658 * Minimum cell voltage to start balancing, V;
659 * Voltage deviation to start balancing;
660 * Voltage deviation to stop balancing;

663 * Command to discharge all cells – a flag to force the balancing of all cells.
664
665 === Series balancing ===
666
667 The BMS Main 3 device supports work with two independent (galvanically unrelated) cell series. To monitor the status of two series, two current sensors are used. A series of cells must be equivalent: they must have the same number of cells and the same capacity.
668
669 Since the series of cells can operate at different loads, they must be balanced. For this, the BMS Main 3 provides two signals to power switches: “Balancing series 1” and “Balancing series 2”, as well as a combined algorithm that considers both the voltage of each series and the charge that these series gave load. The “Balancing series 1” and “Balancing series 2” signals are used to connect high-power balancing resistors in parallel with cell series 1 and 2.
670
671 When charging the battery, balancing is performed based on the voltage of the series. A balancing resistor is connected to the cell series if:
672
673 * the series voltage is higher than the start balancing voltage;
674 * the difference between the voltage of a series of cells and the minimum voltage among the battery series is greater than the balancing threshold.
675
676 When the battery is discharging (work on load), balancing is turned on if one of the series gives the load a charge (Ah), which is more by the amount Qthr of the charge given off by another series.
677

696 Shutting down the battery system is performed according to the following conditions:
697
698 * the battery voltage is below the minimum level;
699 * the “Charger connected” signal is cleared for 60 seconds.

793
794 The BMS Main 3 device can automatically determine the battery discharge characteristic.
795
796 Before starting the process of determining the discharge characteristic, it is necessary to prepare a BMS:
797
798 1. Charge the battery.
799 1. Connect a resistive load to the discharging contactor, which will provide a discharge current of 0.5C (where C is the cell capacitance).

815 Discharge step= С/21,
816
817 where C is the cell capacity.

819 The discharge characteristic will be constructed for the given cell (its position is determined by the fields “Logic index” and “Cell index”).
820
821 The algorithm for determining the discharge characteristic of the battery will be started if the “Enable” flag is set. From this moment, the control of the discharge contactor is performed by this algorithm.
822
823 Algorithm steps:
824
825 1. DOD = 0.
826 1. Opening the discharging contactor.
827 1. Waiting for the relaxation of the battery.
828 1. Measuring Uocv = U.
829 1. Saving the point of the discharge characteristic (Q, U,,OCV,,).
830 1. Closing of the discharging contactor. DOD,,1,, = DOD + Discharge step, U,,1,, = U
831 1. If DOD = DOD,,1,, or U < (U,,1,, – Delta voltage), then go to step 2.
832 1. If the "Undervoltage" error is detected, then the end of the algorithm.
