Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

1]

• Select the metric unit and click on start.

• Change the load file to 'EV_defaults_in'
• Change the cargo mass to 500 and click on continue

• Now change the drive cycle to 'CYC_FTP' and # of cycles to 3, click on RUN

Observation:

• We observe that vehicle can't travel 45 km.
• So, to travel 45 km with the FTP cycle we will have to change the battery capacity or any other variable parameters.

2]

Case 1: By increasing the battery capacity to 50 V

we get,

Case 2: By decreasing the battery capacity to 15 V

we get,

Observation:

• We can observe that when the battery capacity was increased the travel distance increased to 53.3 km and decreased to 24.8 km when battery capacity is changed to 15 with the FTP drive cycle.

3]

• Change the load file to 'PRIUS_JPN_defaults_in' and click on continue

• Now select the drive cycle as 'CYC_FTP' and # of cycles as 3

• Also, select Gradeability test and click on Gradeability options
• In Gradeability options select 'All Systems Enabled' and click on OK.
• In Gradeability options, we change the Speed and Duration to find Gradeability %.

• Now click on RUN

Case 1: When Speed = 10 mph ,and Duration = 50 sec

Case 2: When Speed = 20 mph ,and Duration = 50 sec

Case 3: When Speed = 30 mph ,and Duration = 50 sec

Case 4: When Speed = 40 mph ,and Duration = 50 sec

Case 5: When Speed = 50 mph ,and Duration = 50 sec

Table:

S.No.	Speed (mph)	Speed (kmph)	Duration (seconds)	Gradeability (%)
1.	10	16.1	50	34.4
2.	20	32.2	50	23.5
3.	30	48.3	50	18.8
4.	40	64.4	50	15.8
5.	50	80.5	50	13.6
