Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
Answer:
- 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.
Advisor tool model looks like
As per requirement given in the question, change the drivetrain conf to EV, And change the cargo mass as 500 kg, and keep the other values same like before like this
after change the cargo mass as 500 kg, click on continue and a new tab will be open
in that need to change the drive cycle type as CYC_FTP and next to it # of cycles as 1 and click on run.
The output will shown in new tab.
17.8 Km distance travel by the vehicle in 1 drive cycle
Now change the # of cycles as 2 and click the run botton,
35.5 Km distance travel by the vehicle in 1 drive cycle
Now change the # of cycles as 3 and click the run botton
41.4 Km distance travel by the vehicle in 1 drive cycle
Finally, for drive cycle 1 distance travelled is 17.8, for drive cycle 2 distance travelled 35.5, and for drive cycle 3 distance travelled is 41.4.
It does not reach the 45 km in 3 druve cycles
2. In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.
In-Vehicle Input window we will change the capacity of battery form energy storage which will be open in 1
#of mod V nom describe the battery capacity, so we will change the module number of batteries from first box and we will see the changes
Now click on continue for further process.
now click on continue.
now change the # of drive cycle as 2 and click on run
Hence the reqirment been performed by changing the battery value
3.Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file
click on ok and select run command in the next window.
Speed - 40
Duration - 10
Gradeability at 64.4km/h - 12.2%
same spteps to be followed next Gradeability test by changing the time duration as 20
and the Gradeability will be
speed - 40
durstion - 20
Gradeability at 64.4km/h - 11.5%
same spteps to be followed next Gradeability test by changing the time duration as 30
speed - 40
duration - 30
Gradeability at 64.4km/h - 10.9%
