Reduce the big inrush current if the CVL jumps from Bulk/Absorbtion to Float #659

Rikkert-RS · 2023-05-21T18:17:19Z

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The problem is when a very large battery is present and a voltage drop from bulk 55.2V to 54V float voltage happens in one go. A lot of energy is suddenly discharged from the battery. This can be up to 5kw or more.

Describe the solution you'd like

My solution is in the battery.py.

To reduce the inrush current i do this in steps with the update interval to the float voltage
my change is at line 275

OLD:

self.control_voltage = round(
  (utils.FLOAT_CELL_VOLTAGE * self.cell_count), 3
)
  self.charge_mode = "Float"

NEW

floatVoltage = round((utils.FLOAT_CELL_VOLTAGE * self.cell_count), 3)`
if self.control_voltage:
    if self.control_voltage >= (floatVoltage + 0.005):
        self.control_voltage -= 0.005
    else:
        self.control_voltage = floatVoltage
else:
    self.control_voltage = floatVoltage
self.charge_mode = "Float"

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe also something for the coinfig file

Additional context

Nice Driver. ;)
i have installed Version: v1.0.20230508beta

Could you please post also your diagrams from the VRM portal where we can see this behaviour before and after?

Rikkert-RS · 2023-05-22T17:52:01Z

Yes, I can do that, but the VRM portal has currently performance problems.
As soon as this is running again I will send pictures.

Rikkert-RS · 2023-05-23T16:53:27Z

Here you can see that the current is not so large and also rises slowly. You can also no longer hear the inverters as they try to lower the voltage as quickly as possible.

Before:

After:

mr-manuel · 2023-05-23T17:02:43Z

Perfect, I will test it a few days and then add it.

Rikkert-RS · 2023-05-23T18:03:47Z

I also have an adaptation for aggregate batteries for this problem but that is probably better placed at @Dr-Gigavolt .
What do you mean? I used the new "Chargemodes" for that.
With Aggregate Batteries the problem is that as soon as the first battery goes into float, all other batteries that are not yet balanced go into float as well.

mr-manuel · 2023-06-11T19:10:24Z

@Rikkert-RS for the aggregate batteries you have to open an issue in the related repository as you said.

@ogurevich what do you think about this code change? Do you see the same in your charts?

ogurevich · 2023-06-11T20:11:49Z

can confirm, the inrush current at the moment the battery goes in float mode is significant (in ESS mode with DC-coupled PV - Feed in excess - ON)

it make sense to reduce control voltage gently wenn going in to float. We could in addition in this time period self.charge_mode = "Float (dynamic)"
the proposed code change is charming. the management function called every second, we achieve the desired effect.

it make sense imho

Dr-Gigavolt · 2023-06-11T20:22:17Z

Hello guys,
ESS does not support the lead-acid algorithm at all, this works only with stand-alone MPPTs or Multis/Quattros. Why do you try to maintain it? Just reduce the CVL and balancing-start voltage in BMS in order to to extend the battery life. What is the gain of charging the battery to 100% and than discharge it into the grid? The battery does not need to be at 100% to be balanced. I tried to reduce my LTOs (although there is the battery life not a limiting factor) from 2.5V to 2.35V and it works without any troubles.

mr-manuel · 2023-06-11T20:39:11Z

@ogurevich thanks

@Dr-Gigavolt I think we already talked about this a few times. It's the flat charging curve of LFP batteries where it's better to balance at voltage where the curve is steeper.

ogurevich · 2023-06-11T20:41:06Z

What is the gain of charging the battery to 100% and than discharge it into the grid? that is a very valid question.

nevertheless, it is not wrong to make the transition to float mode smooth. The user can use the MAX_CELL_VOLTAGE and
FLOAT_CELL_VOLTAGE parameters control how he wants to do that. If you set the parameters the same, you have eliminated the float mode. So everyone would be happy. (...this is a new topic for me, maybe I don't see some moments deeply enough)

Dr-Gigavolt · 2023-06-11T20:44:15Z

LTOs are even flatter. IMHO there is no difference at which voltage the balancing is performed. As there is almost no leakage current, it does not help to balance in the knee. The charge that must be transferred by balancer is always the same. When I built my batteries, I tried the initial balancing at Vmax = 2.7V, it did not help at all. Once above knee (2.5V for LTO) the balancer has no chance against peaking. I reduced to 2.5V and it was OK. And now with 2.35V is OK as well.

from Bulk/Absorbtion to Float fix Louisvdw#659

mr-manuel · 2023-06-12T12:28:31Z

I had huge problems, if I balanced the LFP batteries in the flat area. Two batteries were much less charged than all others. This happend multiple times with different cells. Right now I'm asking me what would be more efficient. Only balancing in the top voltage section or always? If you don't need it, just set float and max voltage to the same.

mr-manuel · 2023-06-12T14:52:48Z

This was implemented and is available tomorrow in the dev branch. It will be available also in the next version.

Rikkert-RS · 2023-06-12T17:10:22Z

Hello,

Just as feedback. Thanks for the implementation. I've been running this for a few weeks now and you can't hear anything, it runs very smoothly.

@Dr-Gigavolt , @ogurevich
The goal was also not to dictate how anyone charges their battery.
By this function it is only made smother. Everybody can decide for himself. Yes, feeding energy into the grid at all makes no sense at this point. In sum, not much energy is pushed into the grid but in such a short time that does not have to be. For me it is much better to balance at 55.2V (16S) than at less voltage (Lifepo4). And then to keep the battery permanently until the next discharge at 55.2V is also not good.

If someone is still interested in the changes from the "aggregate batteries" code. Then I can also share this and post it here.
@mr-manuel
Keeping everything together on this Issue (topic) makes sense if someone is looking for it?

What I noticed in particular and what does not work with "aggregate batteries" is that if you have for e.g. 2 battery packs installed and the first pack is ready woth balancing, the whole BattterieBank then goes into float mode even if the other pack is not yet finished with the balance process. My change waits until all battery packs are ready with balancing process.

@Dr-Gigavolt If there is also interest here I would rise an "enhancement" Issue in your repo and would share the code there.

best regards Rikkert-RS

mr-manuel · 2023-06-12T17:14:49Z

@Rikkert-RS for the aggregate batteries you have to open an issue in the related repository as you said.

You can then link the issue here by just pasting the URL of the issue.

My change waits until all battery packs are ready with balancing process.

In abstract terms, aggregator does its job correctly. As soon as one of the several battery packs (the driver) reports "I am full, please reduce the charge voltage", the aggregator forwards the signal to the DVCC logic. Control question: what is more damaging in this case, reducing the voltage, or grilling the fast pack a little longer because of "slow" batteries?

I could see this effect on myself too. For me, reducing the VOLTAGE_DROP parameter to the value 0.03 achieved the desired effect. Thanks to the aggregator (it takes the smaller value for the control), the slower battery lowers the charging voltage in system, that the faster battery does not start absorption mode yet either. The driver does exactly the job for which it is there.

Thanks guys for the driver

seidler2547 · 2023-06-12T20:07:47Z

Sorry for being late to the party. I tested this code as well, and after a few days I changed the slope from 0.005 to 0.001 and I'm more happy with that. Not sure if everybody wants it that slow. but if we go from 3.45 to 3.35, then it will be only 20 seconds (JKBMS Bluetooth only 10 seconds) but with 0.001 it will be 100 or 50 seconds.

mr-manuel · 2023-06-12T20:37:20Z

Maybe in this case it would be better not to use cycles but time. Like every minute 0.10 V.

ogurevich · 2023-06-12T20:44:27Z

or even duration of the transition phase as parameter ?

mr-manuel · 2023-06-12T20:45:41Z

Can you specify this better?

ogurevich · 2023-06-12T20:54:55Z

# Duration in seconds for smooth voltage drop from absorption to float 
TRANSITION_TIME_INTO_FLOAT_MODE_VOLTAGE_LEVEL = 180

mr-manuel · 2023-06-12T20:57:31Z

I would not let the user decide this. This makes the driver unnecessary complex. Better, if we discuss a reasonable V/time for this.

ogurevich · 2023-06-12T20:59:34Z

makes sense, a constant 👍

Dr-Gigavolt · 2023-06-12T23:27:57Z

Control question: what is more damaging in this case, reducing the voltage, or grilling the fast pack a little longer because of "slow" batteries?

This is exactly what I wanted to do.

Another question: why do we need an exact balancing? The only reason I see is full charging, to avoid peaking. But if the goal is 80...90% to extend battery life, who cares about few % difference?

When I'll have some time to do it, I'll try to implement an array of CVLs for each month for Aggregate Batteries. In winter full, in summer less full and e.g. once or twice per month full charging for re-balancing and reset of the SoC counter. A good trade-off between usage and life.

For LTO I found this datasheet:
https://www.global.toshiba/content/dam/toshiba/ww/products-solutions/battery/scib/pdf/ToshibaRechargeableBattery-en.pdf

please look onto "long life", right chart. Do you know such a curve for LFP? Just to understand how harmful is to keep the cells fully charged over certain period of time.

Best regards,
Anton

mr-manuel · 2023-06-13T04:58:26Z

See #458 (comment)

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T06:21:05Z

I would not specify the time for the whole transition but for the voltage change (e.g. 0.01 V/10 seconds). Else it's a huge difference if someone is using a 4S system versus a 18S system.

indeed, we have to take that into account. Or some thing like this ?
FLOAT_MODE_TRANSITION_DURATION = self.cell_count * 12

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T06:39:11Z

the variant (0.01 V/10 seconds) is also elegant and good

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T07:05:04Z

The different voltage drop per second is a little scary. If the user sets the float voltage via absorption, the algorithm will fail. It should probably be validated at init time

(pushed in to "voltagedroppersecond" branch)

                chargeMode = "Float"
                if self.control_voltage:
                    if not self.charge_mode.startswith("Float"):
                        self.transition_start_time = int(time())
                        self.initial_control_voltage = self.control_voltage
                        chargeMode = "Float Transition"
                    elif self.charge_mode.startswith("Float Transition"):
                        elapsed_time = int(time()) - self.transition_start_time
                        # Voltage drop per second
                        VOLTAGE_DROP_PER_SECOND = 0.01 / 10
                        voltage_drop = min(
                            VOLTAGE_DROP_PER_SECOND * elapsed_time,
                            self.initial_control_voltage - floatVoltage,
                        )
                        self.control_voltage = (
                            self.initial_control_voltage - voltage_drop
                        )
                        if self.control_voltage <= floatVoltage:
                            self.control_voltage = floatVoltage
                            chargeMode = "Float"
                        else:
                            chargeMode = "Float Transition"
                else:
                    self.control_voltage = floatVoltage
                self.charge_mode = chargeMode

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T10:50:31Z

Somehow one step is taking 10 second, the next 20 seconds, then 10 seconds, 20 seconds and so on. Can you check that?

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T10:51:43Z

roger, wilco

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T10:58:47Z

how often is this function called?

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T11:02:03Z

It should be every second

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T11:06:48Z

thank you, there is a bug, i check it and try to fix. (not good)

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T11:23:33Z

hm, probably graph interpolation ?

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T11:37:08Z

Theoretically it should get and display every change. The reduction seems a bit to steep for me comaring with the measured voltage. How does your graphics look like? Is the measured voltage following the voltage reduction?

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T11:42:53Z

it looks not bad in my setup. There is a table view possible, let's check the values please

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T11:50:34Z

the reduction of maxChargeVoltage seems to be correct. Agreed ?

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T12:16:04Z

sorry, now with a timeline

maybe the difference is due to the loads in our system. (ESS and DC feed in excess)

PS: The SmartShunt displays the voltage much more evenly than the BMS

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T14:07:00Z

All good the timespan matches exactly the code.

I was only thinking about to increase it, but I looked again at the code on the top of this issue, so this is fine.

inspired by #659

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T15:12:38Z

… please set a bigger value there.

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T15:44:15Z

Ok, I will set it, so that on a 16S battery it will take about 900 seconds.

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T15:52:46Z

oh, i apologize, the lowering per step was here: https://github.com/ogurevich/dbus-serialbattery/tree/voltagedroppersecond
i had to close this pull request and open a https://github.com/ogurevich/dbus-serialbattery/tree/voltagedroppersecond. Sorry !

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T15:56:20Z

my mistake, should I start a new pull request ?

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T16:02:28Z

... basically both variants are pretty much the same. please choose the variant you like best.

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T18:45:51Z

Yes please.

Theoretically it should also not change the value more often than LINEAR_RECALCULATION_EVERY as for the other linear calculations. Could you also integrate this and open a new PR?

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T19:11:22Z

ok, implemented here: https://github.com/ogurevich/dbus-serialbattery/tree/voltagedroppersecond
I'll test the code tomorrow and if everything is ok, open a pull request

P.S. what is a reason for LINEAR_RECALCULATION_EVERY ?
I ask myself, is it the task of the battery driver to only pass on the calculated values to the operating system in doses? If you have many batteries in use, the values in the aggregate will change as often. The operating system decides for itself how often it reacts to these values. So the operating system has no chance to have correct current values

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T19:31:40Z

In a perfect world this would be so, unfortunately in past we had troubles with fast changing CVL, CCL and DCL. The MultiPlus for example was not able to stay behind the changes that were made every second and very strange phenomena appeared. There is a discussion or issue somewhere in this repo.

To solve this, I introduced LINEAR_RECALCULATION_EVERY .

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T19:41:42Z

ok, see, we're trying to bang the error that occurs somewhere else. What happens when we have 10 battery packs? Everyone sets the value 1 time per 10 seconds and in the worst case we will change the value 1 time per second.
Anyway, we've taken that into account (LINEAR_RECALCULATION_EVERY). 👍

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T20:17:53Z

Only one battery pack can be chosen in DVCC as BMS to control CVL, CCL and DCL. Additionally the limit that I'm aware of is 8 batteries: https://louisvdw.github.io/dbus-serialbattery/faq/#how-many-usb-to-serial-adapters-can-i-connect

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T20:20:49Z

Only one battery pack can be chosen in DVCC as BMS to control CVL, CCL and DCL.

correct. usually it is some battery aggregator, wich takes the values from all connected battery packs. Does it take a care how often it changes CVL, .... values ?

mr-manuel · 2023-06-16T21:19:13Z

I don't know that, since it depends which aggregator you are using. Best you open an issue in the repo of the aggregator to ask this.

ogurevich · 2023-06-16T21:26:13Z

During testing today I couldn't see any anomalies even though CVL was changing every second. It really can't be that that was the reason for strange phenomena. The clouds come and go, the MPPTs change the values very often, with the DC feed-in multipluses have to keep up. Unfortunately I'm not deep enough into this topic.
