Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

I am online student batch EV - 16

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.

in the given vehicle datasheet we changed mass to 500kg.

with 500kg vehicle cannot travel 45km with one drive cycle. it only cut 7.5 miles

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

The battery capacity increased by 50kW and drive cycle is 5.

if the drive cycle more and battery capacity is more then distance covered by vehicle is 74.5miles.

3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file

Compare your results in table and conclude.

here, Prius JPN model is derived with the calculation at the different speed.

According to the speed and drive cycle gradability is changed.
