Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
Objective:
to use advisor tool and simulate following
THE MODEL OF ADVISOR are:
*mostly empirical .relying on drivetrain component input /output relationship measured in the laboartory .and
* quasi-static , using data collected in steady state
example-constant torque and and speed.tests and correcting them for transient effect such as the rotational intertia of drivetrian components.
1. for EV-default in file ,if the cargo mass is 500 kg with all other default condition ,can cthe vehicle travel for 45 km with FTP drive cycle ?
considering the case for an typical EV iets simulate EV -default in an electrical vehicle with following specification.

Enery storage :lead acid battery with 25 modules having 308 V as nominal with 0.92 motor efficiency
motor: AC induction motor with 75wk
transmission:manual
drive:front wheel drive
cargo mass: 500kg

here inoder to drive the battery completed to soc 0%for calculating the triange of vehicle 4 drive cycle are repeated so that vehicle will travel 70.8 km total find out at what soc is 0

in the above fig . first plot show the drive cycle for which has travelled . the second plot shows that soc dail with time the third and fourth graph show the power output according to the throttle condition .
after running the simuation we can see that soc becomes zero after aproximately 2.5 drive cycle as show at the right hand side the distance travelled gy vehicle is 41.4 km the vehicle cannot travel 45km in a signal charge.
2.in the above case. try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation:
in this case same default condition are taken that are intiate in question 1and battery capacity will changed for accelerating vehicle that will increase the vehicle distancs travel 1km
inorder to achieve a range of 45km 3more modules of battery have been making the total modules 28 and nomunal voltage to 345v.


in he above images the vehicle travel a distance of 46.5km
here 28 number of batttery modules are sufficient to statisfy a range of 45km according the problem description.
3.perform GRADEABILITY test:
vehicle specification:
power produced by IC engine with fuel convertor efficiency of 0.39
battery capacity : NM(nickel metal hydride ) battery hsve been used with 40 modules producung a nominal voltage of 308v generation 1.5kw
motor : induction motor producing power of 15kw with 0.84 efficiency
transmission:CTV
drive : front wheel drive

inorder to perform the gradeabiliy test.the maximum gradeability a an optimum speed simulation for 10s

here the simulation an run for gradeability test
case:1
speed-5mph (8kmph)
Gradeability-18.1%


aces-3 speed =20 mph (32.2kmph)
Gradeability=25.5%

case-4
speed 64.4kmph
Gradeability=12.6%

here .speeds of 15mph give higest gradeability value which make the optimum seeds for prius.
