Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

ADVISOR tool

objective:

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.

explanation and results:

adivisor tool:ADVISOR provides the. vehicle engineering community with an easy-to-use, flexible, yet robust and supported analysis package for advanced vehicle modeling. It is. primarily used to quantify the fuel economy, the performance, and the emissions of vehicles that use alternative technologies including fuel.

first we download the adivisor tool from the website and after we go to file path in matlab and open the adivsor file.

then run the word advisor in command window.

the gui of advisor tool will open and look like below picture.

in the picture we have default load file to run our conition we need load file nameEV_defaults_in file

and mass value 500kg.

now we click continue and see what happens we have the below picture

but according to our challenge we need ftp drive cycle soo we change drive cycle and number ofcycles will be 1

we can see from above picture the distance covered is 11 from 1 drive cycle.

soo know we change is too drive cycle 2 and run.

now the vehicle travleed 22kms in 2 drive cycles.

now we try for 3 and 4 drive cycles.

from drive cycles 3 and 4 we can see distance upto 41.4kms after that it stopes even if we increase drive cycles .shown below for drive cycle 5

from all the drive cycles we can conculde that electric vehicle will not have battery to cross 45 kms.

we can observe that from the drive cycle plots the ess-ssc-hirst curve goes to 0 when drive cycle 4 and in 5.

objective:

In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.

soo for this we change batttery to 28 and see the result at4 drive cycles.

we can see the by incresing battery we are also increase distance covered.

objective: Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file

Compare your results in table and conclude.

in below pictures we changes load file and varies speed at 55kmph,74kmph,88kmph,104kmph.

now we see greability at above mention speeds.

we can see above images we note that gredability is decreasing when speed is increasing per hour lets see in table.

we ca say that because of urban drive cycle its greadability is effected.
