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.

when i opened advisor tool at first time then given below deafault window will have opened .

for EV_defaults_in file , i need to check here dropdawn menu and sarching it and select .

after cliking on drop down menu i have selected EV_defaults_in file here given snap you can see.

according to our assignment problem i need to change the value of cargo mass 136 to 500 kg .

after put the cargo mass value some changes are their if we note the calculated mass value will have change from 1144 to 1508 kg.

so, according to 2nd condition we are changing the drive cycle name as CYC-FTP.

after run the model you will see new display window pop up

here you can easily see the output

for the first cycle , distance is covered 17.8 km

but according our demand we want check can vehicle travel for 45 km with FTP drive cycle?

not one by one we will change the no. of cycle value is it possible or not .

now i am changing here cycle value = 2

now can see vehicle can travel 35.5 km with the remaining soc around 10-20% status.

now i am changing here cycle value = 3

that is the State of charge condition

here noticeable point . so, the result is that vehicle can travel 41.4 km .

conclusion

it can not travel 45km in single charged battery .

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

below given picture is inittial here we want to change the battery capacity according to our requirment .

in order to achive 45km distance travel.

in the above image vehicle travels a distance 46.3 km . Hence 28 number of battery module are sufficient to satify a range of a 45 km according to the problem discussion.

3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file

Compare your results in table and conclude.

above image showing specification of PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_

battery module = 43 with 308 v

power produced by IC engine : 43 kw , and fuel convertor efficiency = 0.39

genrator type is regenrating = 15 kw

block daigram of this model .

here discription about vehicle mass

to perform the gradibility test . we keep grade value constant and change the speed values to find out the maximum gradibity at the optimum simulating for 10 sec
