Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

1) EV DEFAULTS FOR FTP DRIVE CYCLE

MODEL

• The units used are km.
• This is the First GUI interface.
• The "EV_defaults_in" is loaded in the Load file menu.
• The Cargo mass is setted as 500 kg.
• The remaining parameters are same as the default values.

• The next GUI interface.
• Here the Drive cycle used is "FTP" .
• Here the 4 "FTP" cycles are used.
• The remaing parameters are default values.

OUTPUT

• This is the final output of the Advisor model.
• From the output we can identify that the fuel consumption and the Emoission is zero.
• The vechicle cannt travel the distance of 45 km during the "FTP" cycle.
• The maximum distance the vechicle can travel is 41.4 Km.

2) BY CHANGING THE BATTERY CAPACITY IN THE ABOVE SIMULATION

MODEL

• This is the First GUI interface.
• This simulation is same as the above one.
• Here the capacity of the battery is changed from 25 to 48 V .
• The remaining parameters are default values.

• The next GUI interface.
• Here the Drive cycle used is "FTP" .
• Here the 10 "FTP" cycles are used.
• The remaing parameters are default values.

RESULT

• By comparing the simulation 1 & 2

  • 	FROM EXPERIMENT 1	FROM EXPERIMENT 2
    BATTERY CAPACITY	25 V	48 V
    DISTANCE TRAVELLED	41.4 km	75.7 km

3)GRADEABILITY TEST WITH PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_ IN FILE

MODEL

• The units used are km.
• This is the First GUI interface.
• The "PRIUS_Jpn_defaults" is loaded in the Load file menu.
• The default values are used.
• The "PRIUS" consists of three modes.
  • All system enabled (Both Motor & Engine).
  • Engery storage disabled ( Only Engine).
  • Fuel converter disabled (Only Motor).

a) ALL SYSTEM ENABLED

CASE i) GRADEABILITY AT 10%

• The all system enabled indicates that the both motor and the engine operated at the same time.
• The gradeability is setted at 10 %.
• The speed is 30 mph.
• The duration period is setted as 20 seconds.
• The 4 times the "UDDS" cycle is used .

• This is the output for the above simulation.
• The total distance travelled is 59.9 km.
• The emissions of gases are also noted.
• The gradeability at 48.3 km/hr is 10%.

CASE ii) GRADEABILITY AT 20 %

• The all system enabled indicates that the both motor and the engine operated at the same time.
• The gradeability is setted at 20 %.
• The speed is 25 mph.
• The duration period is setted as 20 seconds.
• The 4 times the "UDDS" cycle is used .

• This is the output for the above simulation.
• The total distance travelled is 59.9 km.
• The emissions of gases are also noted.
• The gradeability at 40.2 km/hr is 20%.

b) ENERGY STORAGE DISABLED

CASE i) GRADEABILITY AT 10 %

• The Energy storage disabled indicates that the motor is diabled and the engine alone is operated .
• The gradeability is setted at 10 %.
• The speed is 30 mph.
• The duration period is setted as 20 seconds.
• The 4 times the "UDDS" cycle is used .

• This is the output for the above simulation.
• The total distance travelled is 59.9 km.
• The emissions of gases are also noted.
• The gradeability at 48.3 km/hr is 10%.

CASE ii) GRADEABILITY AT 20%

• The Energy storage disabled indicates that the motor is diabled and the engine alone is operated .
• The gradeability is setted at 20 %.
• The speed is 25 mph.
• The duration period is setted as 20 seconds.
• The 4 times the "UDDS" cycle is used .

• This is the output for the above simulation.
• The total distance travelled is 59.9 km.
• The emissions of gases are also noted.
• The gradeability at 40.2 km/hr is 20%.

c)FUEL CONVERTER DISABLED

CASE i) GRADEABILITY AT 10%

• The Fuel conveter disabled indicates that the motor alone is operated and the engine is diabled .
• The gradeability is setted at 10 %.
• The speed is 30 mph.
• The duration period is setted as 20 seconds.
• The 4 times the "UDDS" cycle is used .

• This is the output for the above simulation.
• The total distance travelled is 59.9 km.
• The emissions of gases are also noted.
• The gradeability at 48.3 km/hr is 10%.

CASE ii) GRADEABIITY AT 20%

• The Fuel conveter disabled indicates that the motor alone is operated and the engine is diabled.
• The gradeability is setted at 20 %.
• The speed is 25 mph.
• The duration period is setted as 20 seconds.
• The 4 times the "UDDS" cycle is used .

• This is the output for the above simulation.
• The total distance travelled is 59.9 km.
• The emissions of gases are also noted.
• The gradeability at 40.2 km/hr is 20%.
