Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
- 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.
>> The advisor source file is downloaded.
>>The “advisor.m” function file is opened in the MATLAB
>> “advisor” command is ngiven in the command window
>> New advisor window opens.
>> select units as “metric” and start.
>>The “EV_default_in” file is loaded and the cargo mass is changed to “500”
>>Continued to the next page and the drive cycle is given as “CYC_FTP” and run.
>>The result page is loaded where the distance covered is “17.8 km” and 45km is not reached in the default condition.
- In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.
>>The battery capacity alone is changed in the previous model to by changing the number of modules to ‘30’
>>Continued to the next page with the same drive cycle “CYC_FTP” is used with 3 no of cycles and run.
>>The result page is loaded where the distance covered is “49.1 km”
- Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file
Compare your results in table and conclude.
>> The advisor source file is downloaded.
>>The “advisor.m” function file is opened in the MATLAB
>> “advisor” command is ngiven in the command window
>> New advisor window opens.
>> select units as “metric” and start.
>>The “PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in” file is loaded
>>Continued to the next page and the gradability test is enabled
>> New window opens where speed is changed
>> All energy storage is checked’ and the simulation is done
>> Following are the input speeds and the output gradability values
