Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

MMallavaram Rekha8 Nov 2021

AIM: ln this project ,we have to carry out the following studies:

ADVISOR:

ADVISOR,NREL's ADvanced Vehicle SimulatOR, is a set od model,data and script text files use with matlab ans simulink. it is designed for rapid analysis of the performance and fule economy of conventional, elecrtic and hybrid vehicle. ADVISOR also provide a back done for the detailed simulation and analysis of user defined drivetrain component ,a starting point of verified vehicle data and algorithms from which to take full advantage of the modeling flexibility of simulink and analytic power of MATLAB.

you may benefit from using ADVISOR if you want to:

estimate the fuel economy of vehicle that have not yet been bulit.
learn about how conventional, hybrid, or electric vehicle use (and lose) energy throughout their drivetrains.
compare relative railpipe emissions produced on a number of cycles.
evaluate an energy management strategy for your hybrid vehicle's fuel covertor
optimize the gear ratios in your transmission to minimize fuel use or maximize performance etc.

PROCEDURE:

Open matlab and load adivsor tool.
In ADVISOR tool load the EV defaults model.
Change the cargo mass to 500 kgs and run the file.
Run the file and observer the distance and battery soc.

STUDY 1:

above figure show cargo mass has changed to 500 kgs and loaded files is EV_ defaults_ in.

for one cycle of FTP,total 17.77kms of dastance covered.To cover 45 kms 3 FTP cycle.

From above graph, it is clear that battary soc reaches to 0 percentage and total distance covered is 41.4kms

there EV default model with 500 kg cargo mass will not support to cover 45km distance. As batteries have completely discharged.

STUDY 2:

Open matlab and load adivsor tool.
In ADVISOR tool load the EV defaults model.
Change the cargo mass to 500 kgs and run the file.
lncrease the number of battery modules to 50 having voltage of 550v.
Run the file and observer the distance and battery soc

Above the figure shows ,battary module has increased to 50.

for one cycle of FTP ,total 17.77 kms os distance covered. To cover 45 kms,it requrie 3 FTP cycle.

from above figure, itb can be conculded that battary powerbis now sufficient to cover distance of 45kms.

STUDY 3:

Open matlab and load adivsor tool.
In ADVISOR tool load the PRIUS_jpn model.
Select CYC UDDS drive cycle.
Select Gradeablity tab and change speed and time in gradeabllity pop_up window and run the model.
For Different values of speed abserver the gradeabliity performance of the vehicle.
