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.

Drive cycle select CYC_FTP

Keeping all parameter default then RUN we can the obtain the results.

In the above result we can notice that it covered upto 17.8km only in a single recarge and SOC fallen to zero at 2500seconds.

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

corresponding results for one cycle after changing the energy storage

for 7 cycle

for the aboe configuration the distance covered is 96 km and also pecentage of SOC indicates on plot is 13000 seconds approx.

so we can travel 96km with single charge the vehicle with above configuration.

3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file

Compare your results in table and conclude.

set gradeabilty with speed 55 mph

gradeability with the speed 45mph

comparision table

parameter	vehicle1	vehicle2
grade %	7.4	8.4
speed (mph)	55	45

above table concluded that if gradeability increases then speed decreases.
