Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

• AIM: To Simulate the following data using the Advisor Tool:
• Objective:

1. For EV defaults in file, if cargo mass is 500 kg with all other default conditions, can the vehicle travel for 45 km with FTP drive cycle? Conclude your observations.
2. In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.
3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS Jpn defaults in file Compare your results in table and conclude.

• Case 1:

Solution: First of all we will Open Matlab,

Running the adisor code in the Command Window will open the Advisor tool for the further process;

Now as per the case 1 Cargo Mass is changed to 500 Kg keeping all other at default conditions.

Now as per condition we will use Drive Cycle CYC_FTP and run where image below Showing the observations:

• Observations and Results:

Total distance travelled in a drive cycle is 17.8km in time 2477 seconds,

However as per case condition we have to know that the vehicle could travel for 45 km.

To run the vehicle we will require number of drive cycles to be increased

Hence taking 3 drive cycles to run the operation now as following results can be observed below;

Following results can be observed taking 3 drive cycle the vehicle runs 41.4 km as per condition requirement was 45 km so there is a lag of 3.6 km .

For the distance trevelled requirement of more drive cycle.

• Case 2:

Solution: As per condition on changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.

Here we have changed the energy storage capacity from 25 to 40

Hence obtained results can be observed in the below image:

Observation and Results :

Hence on changing the battery Capacity now the drive length range is increased to 53.3 km

• Case 3 :To Perform gradeability test with PRIUS Jpn defaults in file and also to Compare the results in table and conclude.

Solution: To Perform gradeability test with PRIUS Jpn we need to run the advisor tool simulation by selecting PRIUS_JPN_defaults_in

hence the window will open

Now we need to check the Gradeability test performing on the different speeds

Hence taking value from 50 to 90 miles per hour

We can change the values here in the Gradeability test in the below image,

Hence Observation for the value of speed 50 miles per hour

Hence we will change respective values and obtain the results

Below image shows the results of the speed at 50 miles per hour having gradeability as 2 %.

At speed 90miles per hour

Observation and Results:

Data tabulation:

Speed (mph)	Gradeability (%)
50	2
60	1.5
70	0.9
80	0.3
90	0.3

Hence it could be predicted that the maximum gradeability is at 50 mph while least at 90 mph,

Also the gradeability % decreases with the increase in the speed of the vehicle.

• Conclusion: Hence Advisor tool is simulated here to obtain different cases results on the MATLAB
