Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
EV Live batch 17
ANS:1
- EV_default vehicle is selected
- Cargo mass hass changed to 500 Kg
- Drive cycle is selected as FTP
Results with 1 drive cycle
Distance travelled is 11 miles i.e 17.7 Km and uses almost 40% SOC
Results with 3 drive cycles:
Distance travelled is 25.7 miles i.e 41.35 Km and uses 100% battery SOC
Conclusion: The vehicle cannot travel 45 Km with FTP drive cycle and all other default conditions.
ANS:2
In the main window in energy storage option, #of mod changes hence battery nominal voltage changes and capacity. All other parameters kept same as previous problem.
26 mod, 321 Volt
Distance covered is 26.5 miles i.e 42.64 Km with 100% SOC used with 3 drive cycles.
27 mod, 333 Volt
Distance travelled is 27.8 miles i.e 44.73Km and uses 100% battery SOC
28 mod, 345 Volt
Distance travelled is 28.8 miles i.e 46.34 Km and uses 100% battery SOC
Thus the car car travelled 45 Km in 3 drive cycles if we increase the battery capacity to 28 Mod 345 V.
ANS:3
Prius_Jpn_file is loaded and all others parameters are kept same and pressed the Continue button
In the above image shown, Gradebility test option is selected, in advanced option window, all systems are enabled. We will change the speed keeping time duration same. Then we will change time duration and perform the test.
Time 10 sec.
1. Speed 20 mph:
Gradebility is 19.8%
2. Speed 30 mph:
Gradebility is 14.7%
3. Speed 40 mph:
Gradebility is 11.7%
Time 20 sec.
1. Speed 20 mph:
Gradebility is 22.9%
2. Speed 30 mph:
Gradebility is 17.7%
3. Speed 40 mph:
Gradebility is 14.6%
Conclusion
Duration(sec) Speed (mph) Gradebility
10 20 19.8%
10 30 14.7%
10 40 11.7%
20 20 22.9%
20 30 17.7%
20 40 14.6%
Hence as speed increases gradebility decreases , also if time duration increases gradebility increases for same speed.
