Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

OBECTIVE-1 :- EV DEFAULT IN FILE WITH CARGO OF 500 Kg WITH DEFAULT CONDITIONS CAN VEHICLE TRAVEL FOR 45K FOR GIVEN FTP DRIVE CYCLE

SOLUTION :-

1. Open the matlab and select the advisor file.

2. Select EV default in load file.

3. Change the cargo mass to 500kg and click to continue button.

4. So as we can see for a sinfle drive cycle it will cover the distance of 17.77 km so to cover up the distance of 45 km 3 drive cycles will be required.

5. So it can be seen from the grapg that SOC reaches to 0% and total distance covered is 41.4 km.

RESULT- The EV default will not be able to cover up the distance of 45 km

OBJECTIVE-2 :- CHANGING THE BATTERY CAPACITY WITH THE ABOVE CONDITIONS

SOLUTION-

1. Go to the ADVISOR file and change the number battery modules from 25 to 60

2. As with the given default condition it will cover up the distance of 17.77 km in 1 drive cycle so again changing the number of drive cycles to 3 and running the simulations.

RESULT - HERE WE CAN SEE AFTER INCREASING THE NUMBER OF BATTERY MODULES VEHICLE CAN COVER UP THE DISTANCE OF 53.3 KM

OBJECTIVE-3 :- PERFORM GRADEABILTY TEST WITH PRIUS JPN DEFAULTS

SOLUTION -

1. Slect the ADVISOR file in MATLAB and open it.

2. Select the Prius vehucle in load file.

3. Now go to continue button to very the basic gradeability parameters.

Now select the grade options and change the speed and time parameters.

Here we can see that gradeability is 1.5% and speed is 96.6 km/h

CASE-1- Speed 45 m/h and time is 15s

Here gradeability at 72.4 km/h is 2.2 %

CASE-2- Speed 60m/h time is 15 s

At speed of 96.6km/h gradeability is 1.5%

CASE-3 - Speed is75m/h and time is 15s

Here at speed of 120.7 km/h gradeability is 0.7%

S.No	Duration	Speed	Gradeability
1	15s	45m/p	2.2%
2	15s	60m/h	1.5%
3	15s	75m/h	0.7%

RESULT - FROM THE GIVEN TABLE WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT AS THE SPEED INCREASES GRADEABILITY DECREASES
