Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
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.
We selected EV_defaults_in_file in the ADVISOR tool.
Condition 1
We selected EV_defaults_in_file in the ADVISOR tool
we run the simulation for Default cargo weight which is 136.
We select the driving cycle which is CYC_FTP.
The Default Cargo weight the car coverd the distance 17.8km.
We change the driving cycle value which is 2 and Car coverd the distance 35.5 Km with default cargo weight.
We change the driving cycle value which is 3 and Car coverd the distance 48.2 Km with default cargo weight.
Condition 2:- we run the simulation for Default cargo weight which is 500.
We Change the cargo weight 500kg.
We change the driving cycle value which is 1 and Car coverd the distance 17.2 Km with default cargo weight.
We change the driving cycle value which is 2 and Car coverd the distance 35.5 Km with default cargo weight.
We change the driving cycle value which is 3 and Car coverd the distance 41.4 Km with default cargo weight.
We observed All results of default cargo weight which is 136kg and 500kg cargo weight.
with Default cargo weight the vehicle coverd the 48.2 km distance.
With 500 kg cargo weight the vehicle coverd the 41.4 km distance.
2. In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.
In this condition We decrese the battery capacity which is 20
We decrese the battery capacity and Car coverd the distance 33.5 Km with default cargo weight.
In this condition We Increses the battery capacity which is 30
We Increse the battery capacity and Car coverd the distance 49.1 Km with default cargo weight.
We observed All results of decrese the battery capacity which is 20 and increse the battery capacity which is 30 With 500kg cargo weight.
with decrese the battery capacity the vehicle coverd the 33.5 distance.
With decrese the battery capacity the vehicle coverd the 49.1 distance.
3.Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file
Compare your results in table and conclude.
We selected the vehicle PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file which is given to the que.
Condition 1
We selected the Gredebility is default condition and run the simulation speed is 55 mph
Output For speed 55mph and we observed the gradibility is 1.7%
Condition 2
We change the speed which is 65 mph
Output For speed 65mph and we observed the gradibility is 1.2%
Condition 3
We change the speed which is 75 mph
Output For speed 75mph and we observed the gradibility is 0.7%
We observed the resuts.
| Speed (mph) | Gradibility (%) |
| 55 | 1.7% |
| 65 | 1.2% |
| 75 | 0.7% |
With incresing the speed Gradebility is decreses.
