Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

1. 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.

Ans:- ADVISOR- advanced vehicle simulator ;-it sis an the application of steady state vehicle type by using an the non convetional sources it is an simple scripts and mfile be used only for the vehicle performance and the annalyse the data as fuel economy it is the backbone of the detailed simulationod user define components within the inputs and outputs

An advanced vehicle simulator model called ADVISOR hasbeen developed at the National Renewable EnergyLaboratory to allow system-level analysis and trade-offstudies of advanced vehicles. Because of ADVISOR's fastexecution speed and the open programming environment of MATLAB/Simulink, the simulator is ideally suited for doingparametric studies to map out the design space of potential
high fuel economy vehicles

Q1.Aim- observ the EV_default in advisor tool with 5ookg cargo mass and find the vehicle can travelled for 45km within the FTP Drive cycle

Procedure:-1.)download the advisor tool and extract all the files

2.)add the path to matlab and to open the advisor tool write"advisor"into command window

3.)open the advisor tool and load the file as EV_default,configuration as EV

4.)as well as add the cargo mass (payload) as the 500 kg as shown in belows

5.)after it clicking on continuous next slide will be open in that choose cycle as the CYC_FTP

so clicking on continue afet setting an the cargo mass

after setting an the CYC_FTP we clicks on to the run button

so after clicking on the run know we get result as belows

conclusion:-so we get an the advisor results as we observ that cycle not cover 45 km it covers only an the 17.8km so to complete an the 45 km we need to some changes aschange driving cycle

Q2. In above case,try changing the battary capacity and repeat the simulation

Aim:-change the battary cappacity and observ the results

pocedure is a same as the question only the diffremce is that the changing the battary capacity as shown below

1. by changing battary capacity:-

before battary voltage and model as

after change the parameters:-

when the battary capacity incresed from 25 to 50 we get an the result as belows

Conclusion :- so by changing an the battary capacity we does not get an the results as it not covers the much more distance

Twice drive cycle.by increasing the driving cycle:-

before changing an the drive cycle as kept 1

After change the driving cycle kept as 2

result:- after an change the drive cycle we obtain an distance is 35km so to increse the vehicle ditance or to obtain an the result we need to add the drive cycle

Conclusion:-so as per the our observation we get that if we increses an the drive cycle we get an the increse in km tht vehicle distance also to be incresed

Q3.Perform the gradeability test with PRIUS_JPN_default_in file

AIM:- Perform the gradeability test with PRIUS_JPN_default_in file

procedure as same in the question 1

procedure:-

1.)download an the advisor tool and extract all

2.))add the path in matlab and write advisor to open an the advisor toolbox

3.)open an the advisor tool and configure as the PRIUS_JPN

4.)select an the gradeability test (test procedure) with only an the change into the speed

"PRIUS_JPN"

by choosen the continue new window will be pop up so when the new window will e pop up so at an that time select on gredeability test

by clicking on the grade option new window will be opens "grade test advance option"

Speed:-20

case 1:-gradeability 6%,speed is 20

so we get an the gradeability of an the 15.8%

as to analyse we run more tests on diffrent tests as the observ an the gradeability as shown belows

case2

speed -40

so gradeability is 9.5%

Case-iii

speed:- 60

gradebility at an 60 is only 6.6%

Result:-

Speed MPH	Gradeability(%)
20	15.8
40	9.5
60	6.6

Conclusion :-so as from an the result we get an conclusion as as increses in speed gradeability will be reduces
