Doing tests on a 0V Cell and Connected in series with other cells not equal to 0V

[Azizbs1130]

Hello Everyone,

I am working on a subject in which lets say we have 6 series of battery cells conected and i want to short cut only one cell (discharge it to 0V) in reality it will be like installing a bridge on it to bypass it in case its damaged so the whole pack of cell keep functioning.

So the questions are:

1. is it possible to do some work on a 0V cell in pybamm, because from what i noticed it crashes when we reach minimum voltage?
2. is it possible to do a simulation of a series of batteries or parallel? and get for example voltage and other informations of each cell seperatly?

Discharging beyond the minimum voltage is likely to crash the solver. You can try it via an experiment, but not sure this is the best way of modelling a shortcircuit. I don't think we have any way of simulating internal shortcircuits in PyBaMM. This would require adding some extra equations for the separator, so we can treat it as a conducting material.
