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.

AIM:

To find the capacity of the vehicle(SOC) to travel for 45 KM with the cargo mass of 500 kg using EV_defaults_in file of the ADVISOR TOOL.

PROCEDURE:

To open the directory path of Advisor.m file in the Matlab directory path selection bar.
After choosing the correct directory path we need to run the ADVISOR tool using command window.
In ADVISOR tool we need to pick the EV_defaults_in file and need to change the Cargo mass as 500 Kg.
The FTP Driving cycle is choosen and the single FTP cycle consists of distance as 17.77Km and to achieve 45Km, 3 drive cycle is selected.
The ADVISOR tool is made to run and results of SOC is observed through SOC vs Distance graph.

ADVISOR TOOL VIEW:

The above model shows the EV_defaults_in model in which the vehicle is operated only with battery source. i.e EV alone. In the above model the cargo mass is changed to 500Kg.

In above model the FTP drive cycle is choosed, made the model file to run and the results are obtained below.

CONCLUSION:

Thus the EV car with cargo mass of 500kg can't able to cover the distance of 45km since the battery's state of charge gets decreased to 0%. The EV car is able to achieve only 41.4 Km with the cargo mass of 500kg and the given battery source.

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

AIM:

The above model is executed by increasing the battery capacity and need to observe the results of the EV model.

PROCEDURE :

The above procedures are repeated with different battery capacity and the resuls are shown below:

For the battery capacity of 26 KW :

With the battery capacity of 26 KW the EV car will be able to cover the distance of only 42.7 KM.

For the battery capacity of 27 KW :

With the battery capacity of 27 KW the EV car will be able to cover the distance of only 44.8 KM.

For the battery capacity of 28 KW :

With the battery capacity of 28 KW the EV car will be able to cover the distance of only 46.3 KM.

CONCLUSION:

Thus the EV model car is able to cover the distance of 45 KM by increasing the battery capacity from 25 KW to 28KW.

3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file

Compare your results in table and conclude.

AIM:

To perform the gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn model and find the different gradeability percentage for different speed of the vehicle.

PROCEDURE :

First open the PRIUS_JPN_defaults_in model file in the ADVISOR tool.
Choose the drive cycle in the tool and select the Gradeability test.
In Grade option we need to choose the different speeds and observe the Gradeability percentage.
We need to observe the Gradeability at different speed.

ADVISOR TOOL VIEW:

At a speed of 40mph:

The model is executed at speed of 40mph at a time duration of 10sec and the result is shown below:

The above result shows that the gradebility percentage at 64.4 km/hr is 2.5%

At a speed of 50mph:

The model is executed at speed of 50mph at a time duration of 10sec and the result is shown below:

The above result shows that the gradebility percentage at 80.5 km/hr is 2%

At a speed of 60mph:

The model is executed at speed of 50mph at a time duration of 10sec and the result is shown below:

The above result shows that the gradebility percentage at 96.6 km/hr is 1.5%

TABLE:

SPEED(mph)	TIME(Sec)	GRADEABILITY (%)
40	10	2.5
50	10	2
60	10	1.5

CONCLUSION:

Thus the PRIUS_Jpn model is executed with gradeability test and the results are observed.
