Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

1)

in the above screenshot the vehicle model is selected as EV default in and cargo mass is added as 500kg,the battery used is lead acid with 25 modules .weight of the battery pack is 275kg and the total mass of vehicle is 1508kg

here ftp drive cycle is selected and the distance of 1ftp cycle is obtained as 17.77km.below screenshot i have used 3 cycles for the simulation of 45km

the state of charge of battery reaches zero at distance covering of 41.4km and battery becomes dead,vehicle model is failed to reach 45km.

2)

now the battery pack capacity is increased by adding the no of modules from 25 to 28 and the total votlage nominal becomes 345V ,hence the mass of battery pack and total mass of the vehicle is increased.

now the distance covered by this model is of the 0% SOC battery pack is 46.3km. Three more modules should be connected to travel a distance of 45km

3)

prius jpn file is loaded

udds cycle with 3 no of cycles and gradeabilty test feature is selected

the gradeabilty at 88.5kmph is obtained as 1.7%

now the speed is changed to 112.7kmph and obtained gradeabilty is 0.9%

the above table represents that when speed increases the gradeabilty decreases.
