Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

KKrishna Pithani5 Mar 2022

INTRODUCTION TO ADVISOR (ADVANCE VEHICLE SIMULATOR) TOOL:

Create by National Laboratory for Renewable Energy (NREL) & Deparment of Energy USA.
Development Phase 1994 to 2004.
ADVISOR tool is a Rapid analysis of the performance and fule economy of conventional electric and hybrid vehicles.
Use a backward flow (driving cycle to energy storage)
Vehicle models are mostly experiential, relying on drivetrain component input/output relationships meusured in the laboratory.

How To start ADVISORB Tool:

advisor.m is a main file select the module file.
this tool is based on the advance vehicle simulation tool.
there are two options one is metric and other one is US selecting the one unit.
start the advisor tool.

Advisor tools have 3 windows:

Vehicle input window
Simulation parameter window
Result window.

AIM: 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.

This is the vehicle input window

now change the load file is EV_defaults_in file and Drivetrain config is EV

vehicle type is VEH SMCAR vehicle mass(kg) 592

Energy storage is version rint and type pd ESS_PB25 max power (kw) is 25 nad 308v nom mass 275

Motor is a MC_AC75 and max power is 75 and 0.92eff mass 91

Transmission version man and type man TX_1SPD peakeff 1 and mass 50

wheel/axle version crr and type crr WH_SMCAR

Accessory version const and type const Acc_HYBRID

Powertrain control is ev and man PTC_EV

this is the front wheel drive

cargo mass is given 500

calculation mass is 1508

nexte click on the view Block diagram

The arangement in side the blocks.there all this block are data or cript files

this module starting with the drivecycle and end with the energy storage system.

next click on the continue open simulation parameter window

select the drive cycle "CYC_FTP" and remaining are constant

next click on the run button.

the click on the run and it will open result window

the distance covered by the vehicle is 17.77km by the one number of cycle.

the previous page and enter the three number of cycle, the distance covered by the vehicle is 41.4km.

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

in the vehicle input window in the energy storage tab we try to increases the number of modules of the battery so that it increases the capacity of the battery

the increases the battery capacity the vehicle distance is also increase

change the energy storage 28kw and 345volts mass of the battery308 and cargo mass is 500

next click on the continue.
