Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

Q1

1. Select the following

• Load file: EV_defaults_in
• Cargo mass: 500
• Image: Question 1.1

2. Drive Cycle: CYC_FTP

• Image: Question 1.2

3. Results

• The total distance covered in a single FTP drive cycle is 17.8km.
• 17.8*2.5 = 45km. So, repeat the cycle 3 times.
• The car reaches 0% SOC at 41.4 km before the desired distance; hence, this 45km is not achieved.
• Image: Question 1.3

Q2

- Modules changed to 30.

Results

- Due to increased battery capacity, the car reached the desired total distance of 45km within the third simulation cycle.

Q3

- The test is done at different durations for the same speed and is changed in the grade test options.

Results: Gradeability increases with an increase in duration for the same speed

#	Speed (Kmph)	Duration (s)	Grade (%)
1	88.5	15	10.7
2	88.5	20	11.5
3	88.5	30	12.2
4	88.5	40	12.5
