Advanced Vehicle Simulator. This project holds the latest releases for canonical versions of the ADVISOR® Software and "Advanced Vehicle Simulator". ADVISOR is a MATLAB/Simulink based simulation program for rapid analysis of the performance and fuel economy of light and heavy-duty vehicles with conventional (gasoline/diesel), hybrid-electric,...

2.Advanced Vehicle Simulator is a model written in the widely used MATLAB/Simulink software environment. It can be used to simulate and analyze conventional, advanced, light and heavy vehicles, including hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles.

considering the case for typical EV, lets simulat the ev_defaults_in,an electric vehicle with following specifications.

ENERGY STORAGE:LEAD ACID BATTERY WITH 25 MODULES HSVING308V AS NORMAL VOLTAGE WITH 0.92 MOTOR EFFICIENCY.

MOTOR: INDUCION MOTOR WITH 75KW.

TRANSMISION:manual

DRIVE:FRONT WHEEL DRIVE

CARGO MASS:500KG

INPUT DRIVE CYCLE called cyc_ftp which is 17.7km long in the distance.batterycompletely to soc=0%, 4drive cycle are repeated, so that vehicle wiil trval 70.8 km in total and we can find out at what distance the soc is 0.

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.

soluction;

increasing the battery capacity of the vehicle.

inorder the to achive a range of 45km,3 more modules batteries have been added making the total modules to 28 and normal voltage to 345 v.

in the above image the vehicle travels distance 45km.hence 28 number of battery modules are sufficient to satisfy a range of 45km according to problem description.

3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file

Compare your results in table and conclude.

soluction:

vehicle specifications:

power produced by ic engine:43kw with fuel converter efficiency of 0.39

battery capacitancy:NMH BATTERY HAVE BEEN USED WITH 40 MODULES PRODUCING THE NOMING.

GENERATOR:15KW

MOTOR:INDU7CTION MOTOR PRODUCING POWER OF 15KW WITH 0.84EFFICIENCY

TRANSMISSION:CVT

DRIVE:FRONT WHEEL DRIVE
