1.1	12
	13	In this section:
	14
	15	* Cell capacity – nominal capacity of cells, Ah;
	16	* Cell resistance – nominal (maximum) internal resistance of the cell, Ohm;
	17	* Relax time (after charging) – a relaxation time after charging, second;
	18	* Relax time (atfer discharging) – the relaxation time after discharging, second;
	19	* Reset parameters– a command to reset cells state of charge, capacity, and resistance.
	20
6.2	21	The values “Capacity” and “Resistance” are used to calculate the SOC of cells and the battery.
1.1	22
	23	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.
	24
6.2	25	The “Reset parameters” will reset:
	26
	27	* 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);
	28	* cell resistance to “Cell resistance” value;
	29	* battery capacity to “Cell capacity” value.
	30
1.1	31	The “Reset parameters” command is used for starting-up and adjustment of the battery.
	32
	33	=== SOC estimation ===
	34
	35	The BMS Mini device calculates the state of charge of the battery (SOC) using two algorithms:
	36
	37	* by open circuit voltage;
	38	* by voltage and current.
	39
	40	It is recommended to use the algorithm of calculation of SOC by voltage and current.
	41
	42	To change the estimation algorithm for calculating the battery SOC, select the "Control → SOC estimation → Algorithm" section:
	43
2.1	44	[[image:1733746733477-590.png\|\|data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="166" width="800"]]
1.1	45
	46	The following estimation algorithms supported:
	47
	48	* Voltage – by open circuit voltage;
	49	* Current and voltage (simplified);
	50	* Current and voltage (enhanced);
	51
6.3	52	The “Voltage” SOC calculation algorithm calculates cells SOC based on the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t °C).
1.1	53
6.3	54	The “Current and voltage (simplified)” SOC calculation algorithm works as follows:
1.1	55
	56	* if I = 0, the battery is in a state of relaxation and the cell voltage Uocv is outside the [U,,ocv[point 1],,; U,,ocv[point 2],,], the SOC calculation based on the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t °C);
	57	* in any other cases, the SOC value is proportional to the charge (coulomb) passed through the battery (current time integral).
	58
6.3	59	The “Current and voltage (enhanced)” SOC calculation algorithm differs from the simplified algorithm by online correction of effective capacitance. When using this algorithm, it is necessary to fine tune the tabular dependence Uocv = Uocv (SOC, t °C).
1.1	60
	61	To change the algorithm for calculating the Final SOC, select the "Control → SOC estimation → Final SOC" section:
	62
2.1	63	[[image:1733746733478-414.png\|\|data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="167" width="800"]]
1.1	64
	65	The following battery Final SOC calculation methods are supported:
	66
2.1	67	* Minimal SOC – SOC of the modular battery is assumed to be the minimum SOC among the battery modules;
6.3	68	* Average SOC – SOC of the modular battery is taken equal to the arithmetic average of the SOC of the battery modules;
	69	* 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;
	70	* 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.
1.1	71
7.1	72	Other parameters:
1.1	73
	74	* Scale the final SOC – a flag to scale the battery SOC by the following values;
6.3	75	* SOC corresponding to 0% – the battery SOC that sets to be 0%;
	76	* SOC corresponding to 100% – the battery SOC that sets to be 100%.
1.1	77	* Uocv (open-circuit voltage) table – the dependence of the cell open circuit voltage Uocv on SOC and the cell temperature (selected for specific batteries);
6.3	78	* Linear zone - linear zone of the Uocv = Uocv(SOC, t°C) dependency, inside which the cell voltage changes insignificantly:
	79	** Linear zone: point 1 – starting point of the Uocv linear zone;
	80	** Linear zone: point 2 – ending point of the Uocv linear zone;
1.1	81	* Coulomb counting correction (temperature) – the dependence of battery capacity on temperature;
	82	* Coulomb counting correction (cycles) – the dependence of battery capacity on the number of charge-discharge cycles.
	83
	84	=== SOC correction ===
	85
3.1	86	The BMS Mini 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"]]).
1.1	87
	88	To configure parameters for periodically correcting the battery state of charge, select the "Control → SOC correction" section:
	89
2.1	90	[[image:1733746733483-444.png\|\|data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="160" width="800"]]
1.1	91
	92	In this section:
	93
	94	* Enable – a flag to enable SOC correction;
	95	* 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);
	96	* 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”.
	97	* SOC change time – a duration of the linear changing the battery SOC to the value calculated by the correction algorithm, minute;
	98	* Ignore the linear zone – a flag to ignore linear SOC zone while correction;
	99	* Last correction timestamp – time when last correction was made.
	100
2.1	101	=== Resistance estimation ===
1.1	102
	103	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
	104
10.2	105	{{formula fontSize="SMALL" imageType="PNG"}}
	106	R = \frac{U-U_{ocv}}{I_{stable}}
	107	{{/formula}}
1.1	108
	109	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.
	110
	111	The second method is used for a stepwise change in the current through the cell, while the value of the cell resistance:
	112
10.2	113	{{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
	114	R = \frac{U_2-U_1}{I_{stable2}-I_{stable1}}
	115	{{/formula}}
1.1	116
10.2	117	provided that
1.1	118
10.2	119	{{formula fontSize="SMALL"}}
	120	\| I_{stable2}-I_{stable1} \| > 0.2 × Qmax
	121	{{/formula}}
1.1	122
10.2	123	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.
	124
1.1	125	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.
	126

1.1	130
	131	In this section:
	132
	133	* Current stabilization time, millisecond;
	134	* 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;
	135	* Maximum resistance factor – the coefficient of calculation of the maximum acceptable resistance of the cell;
	136	* Minimum SOC – minimum cell SOC value for resistance calculation;
	137	* Maximum SOC – maximum cell SOC value for resistance calculation.
	138
3.1	139	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).
