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.
Answer:-
Given-
Cargo mass (payload)=500kg
Vehicle Type=EV
Drive cycle = FTP drive cycle
- Here cargo mass is enter 500kg
- Then click on continue button.
- As per the given condition here we use the FTP drive cycle.
- one FTP drive cycle is run 11.04 miles distance.
- Therefore we select 3 drive cycle which means total distance run is 33.12miles.
- Then click on RUN button.
- From the result as we seen that,from 100% to 0% SOC(state of charge) of battery,the vehicle run only 25.7miles distance.
- Conclusion is that the vehicle can not travel 45km distance.
- All the results uploaded to the below browser.
- In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.
Answer:-
- In above simulation we have changed battery capacity 25V to 30V.
- The drive cycle parameter kept as same as above simulation.
- Here we seen that, if we increase the battery capacity then the distance travel by vehicle is also increases.
- for 25V battery capacity the vehicle travel 25.7miles distance and for 30V battery capacity the vehicle travel 33.1miles distance.
- Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file
Compare your results in table and conclude.
Answer:-
Vehicle- PRIUS Jpn
- As per the given condition, we have to perform Gradeability test on given vehicle.
- we perform the test for 10sec on different speed of vehicle.
- And also on different system is uploded in the below broweser.
- Grdeability test on hybrid vehicle at 10m/h speed for 10sec duration.
- The another different test result as shown in below table.

Conclusion:-
From above table we can concluded that, if we increase the speed of vehicle then the Gradeability is decreases.
