Hello everybody
I'm going to simulate a Lithium ion battery whose no load voltage depends on its DoD (DoD=1-SoC).
I used the book of Soylu in which he obtained a 10th order polynomials for no-load voltage of the battery.
https://www.intechopen.com/books/electric-vehicles-modelling-and-simulations
I plotted the voltage versus its DoD. However, the obtained figure is not reasonable.
I am so thankful if you let me know what is the problem?
I put my mfile and the obtained figure.book_function.png

It is worth mentioning that the datasheet of the battery gives the voltage according to the C-rate. Indeed, there is no information about the open-circuit voltage of the battery.
Thank you

Why do you need such precise data on the open circuit battery? You really can't do anything with it until you connect a load.

Yes, you're right, the battery is connected to the load. But, I should create a lookup table for no-load voltage irrespective of the load. This open-circuit voltage equation is needed for Electric vehicle simulation.
Besides, I figured out how to calculate this open-circuit voltage. I'm going to use the datasheet for two C-rates and then according to the two look-up table, I want to achieve the open-circuit voltage.
I hope this work.

Calculating the internal resistance of a cell is much more useful for most applications.

Thank you for your reply. I calculate the discharge resistance, and now, I am going to calculate the charge resistance.
I put the picture of discharge resistance and the open-circuit voltage in this post. The horizontal axis is the DoD of the battery (DoD=1-SoC)

In addition, I plotted the terminal voltage of the battery according to open circuit and discharge resistance.
According to the datasheet I obtained a lookup table and then, I calcullated the polynomials that fits to the very lookup table. I inserted terminal voltage versus DoD. There is a little difference between them.
I hope my method is correct.

What units are you using on the X axis? From practical experience, you discharge curve is much more realistic but the final 10% puzzles me. What is the discharge cut-off criteria?

The X-axis is DoD, which is 1-SoC. when the battery is full the DoD is 0 and when the battery is empty its DoD is 1.
Sorry, I don't understand your latter question.

If you discharge a lithium ion battery until it is empty, it is no longer a battery because it can no longer be re-charged. The discharge point of no return is about 2.7V per cell. Usually the discharge is terminated at 3V to be safe.
