2.1	105	=== Resistance estimation ===
1.1	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
10.2	109	{{formula fontSize="SMALL" imageType="PNG"}}
	110	R = \frac{U-U_{ocv}}{I_{stable}}
	111	{{/formula}}
1.1	112
	113	where U is the cell voltage measured in the charge or discharge state, V; U,,ocv,, is the 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
10.2	117	{{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
	118	R = \frac{U_2-U_1}{I_{stable2}-I_{stable1}}
	119	{{/formula}}
1.1	120
10.2	121	provided that
1.1	122
10.2	123	{{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
	124	\| I_{stable2}-I_{stable1} \| > 0.2 × Qmax
	125	{{/formula}}
1.1	126
10.2	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.

	140	* Minimum SOC – minimum cell SOC value for resistance calculation;
	141	* Maximum SOC – maximum cell SOC value for resistance calculation.

	679	Discharge characteristics of the battery – the dependence Uocv = Uocv (DOD) – is used to determine the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t °C), which is necessary for calculating the state of charge of the battery.
	680
55.3	681	The BMS Mini S / BMS Mini device can automatically determine the battery discharge characteristic.
1.1	682
	683	Before starting the process of determining the discharge characteristic, it is necessary to prepare a BMS:
	684
	685	1. Charge the battery.
	686	1. Connect a resistive load to the discharging contactor, which will provide a discharge current of 0.5C (where C is the cell capacitance).
	687
	688	To configure parameters for determining the discharge characteristic of the battery, select the "Control → Cell analysis" section:

1.1	691
	692	In this section:
	693
	694	* Enable – a flag to enable cell analysis;
	695	* Discharge step, Ah;
	696	* Delta voltage – a maximum allowable voltage drop for the cell, V;
	697	* Cell index – a position of the analyzed cell;
	698	* Analyse the most discharged cell – a flag to analyse of the least charged cell (in this case, the value “Cell index” is ignored).
	699
	700	Discharge step should be set equal to
	701
	702	Discharge step= С/21,
	703
	704	where C is the cell capacity.
	705
	706	The discharge characteristic will be constructed for the given cell (its position is determined by the field “Cell index”).
	707
	708	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.
	709
	710	Algorithm steps:
	711
	712	1. DOD = 0.
	713	1. Opening the discharging contactor.
	714	1. Waiting for the relaxation of the battery.
	715	1. Measuring Uocv = U.
	716	1. Saving the point of the discharge characteristic (Q, U,,OCV,,).
	717	1. Closing of the discharging contactor. DOD,,1,, = DOD + Discharge step, U,,1,, = U
	718	1. If DOD = DOD,,1,, or U < (U,,1,, – Delta voltage), then go to step 2.
	719	1. If the "Undervoltage" error is detected, then the end of the algorithm.
	720
	721	During the operation of the algorithm, a file with the name "CELLANALYSIS.TXT" in the CSV format will be created on the SD card.
	722
	723	File structure:
	724
	725	\|Time\|DOD\|Cell\|OCV\|Resistance

	727	\|...\|...\|…\|...\|...
	728
	729	Parameter names:
	730
	731	* Time – date and time;
	732	* DOD – depth of discharge, Ah;
	733	* Cell – position of the analyzed cell for which OCV and Resistance values are provided;
	734	* OCV – cell voltage Uocv, V;
2.1	735	* Resistance – cell resistance, Ohm.
