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” and “Resistance” 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:

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 has 100% SOC, b) 0% if any cell has 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 === SOH estimation ===
106
107 The BMS Main 3 device calculates the state of health of the battery (SOH) using two algorithms:
108
109 * By effective capacity;
110 * By total charge-.
111
112 In "By effective capacity" mode SOH is calculated as a ratio of effective capacity to nominal capacity. Effective capacity is estimated to DOD value when battery SOC reaches 0%, so SOH is recalculated each full battery discharge.
113
114 In "By total charge-" mode SOH is calculated as a linear function of "Total charge-" counter. While "Total charge-" constantly increases during battery operation, SOH will be linearly decrease at the same time. This mode requires a confirmed data about cell health depending of amount of discharge rate to configure the linear function.
115
116 To configure parameters for battery state of health calculation, select the "Control → SOH correction" section:

119
120 * Algorithm:
121 ** By effective capacity;
122 ** By total charge-;
123 * Total charge: Charge- –  total amount of charge- for expected SOH;
124 * Total charge: SOH –  expected SOH value at the total amount of charge-.
125
126 === Resistance estimation ===
127
128 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
129
130 {{formula fontSize="SMALL" imageType="PNG"}}
131 R = \frac{U-U_{ocv}}{I_{stable}}
132 {{/formula}}
133
134 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.
135
136 The second method is used for a stepwise change in the current through the cell, while the value of the cell resistance:
137
138 {{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
139 R = \frac{U_2-U_1}{I_{stable2}-I_{stable1}}
140 {{/formula}}
141
142 provided that
143
144 {{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
145 | I_{stable2}-I_{stable1} | > 0.2 × Qmax
146 {{/formula}}
147
148 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.
149
150 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.

155
156 In this section:
157
158 * Current stabilization time, millisecond;
159 * Maximum calculation period – maximum time between resistance measurements. If more time has elapsed since the last determination of the stabilized current I,,stable,, than is determined in this field, the resistance calculation is not performed, second;
160 * Maximum resistance factor – the coefficient of calculation of the maximum acceptable resistance of the cell;
161 * Minimum SOC – minimum cell SOC value for resistance calculation;
162 * Maximum SOC – maximum cell SOC value for resistance calculation.
163
164 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"]]). If the calculated resistance value is greater than the value (Maximum resistance factor × Resistance), the updated resistance value will be equal to the value (Maximum resistance factor × Resistance).

688 === Series balancing ===
689
690 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.
691
692 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.
693
694 When charging the battery, balancing is performed based on the voltage of the series. A balancing resistor is connected to the cell series if:
695
696 * the series voltage is higher than the start balancing voltage;
697 * the difference between the voltage of a series of cells and the minimum voltage among the battery series is greater than the balancing threshold.
698
699 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.

819 === Cell analysis ===
820
821 The battery discharge characteristic – the dependence Uocv = Uocv(DOD) – is used to determine the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t°C), which is necessary for calculating the battery charge level.
822
823 The BMS Main 3 device can automatically determine the battery discharge characteristic.
824
825 Before starting the process of determining the discharge characteristic, it is necessary to prepare a BMS:
826
827 1. Charge the battery.
828 1. Connect a resistive load to the discharging contactor, which will provide a discharge current of 0.5C (where C is the cell capacitance).
829
830 To configure parameters for determining the discharge characteristic of the battery, select the "Control → Cell analysis" section:

834 In this section:
835
836 * Enable – a flag to enable cell analysis;
837 * Discharge step, Ah;
838 * Delta voltage – a maximum allowable voltage drop for the cell, V;
839 * Logic index, Cell index – a position of the analyzed cell;
840 * Analyse the most discharged cell – a flag to analyse of the least charged cell (in this case, the values “Logic index” and “Cell index” are ignored).
841
842 Discharge step should be set equal to
843
844 Discharge step= С/21,
845
846 where C is the cell capacity.
847
848 The discharge characteristic will be constructed for the given cell (its position is determined by the fields “Logic index” and “Cell index”).
849
850 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.
851
852 Algorithm steps:
853
854 1. DOD = 0.
855 1. Opening the discharging contactor.
856 1. Waiting for the relaxation of the battery.
857 1. Measuring Uocv = U.
858 1. Saving the point of the discharge characteristic (Q, U,,OCV,,).
859 1. Closing of the discharging contactor. DOD,,1,, = DOD + Discharge step, U,,1,, = U
860 1. If DOD = DOD,,1,, or U < (U,,1,, – Delta voltage), then go to step 2.
861 1. If the "Undervoltage" error is detected, then the end of the algorithm.
862
863 During the operation of the algorithm, a file with the name "CELLANALYSIS.TXT" in the CSV format will be created on the SD card.
