Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

Q1 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.

CASE 1:- EV_Defaults_in ,Cargo mass is given (500 kg) with all other default conditions ,can the vehicle travel for 45 km with FTP Drive cycle.

in the ADVISOR vehicle input, select load file EV_Defaults_in ,from menu.also change cargo mass 500 kg bottom write corner of the interface.

THE VEHICLE INPUT ADVIOR WINDOW.

Then select 'Continue'. from down menu of the drive cycle ,then select 'CYC_FTP' driving cycle.

Then keep all parameters as default,select 'RUN' in the bottom right corner of the interface.

FOR DEFAULT CONDITION :-

Number of cycles is equal to 1,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 17.8 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 2,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 35.5 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 4,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 41.4 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 6,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 41.4 km.

COCLUSION AND OBSERVATION :-

1. NO,VEHICLE CANNOT TRAVEL FOR 45KM WITH FTP DRIVE CYCLE . BECAUSE IN INCREASES OF CARGO WEIGHT 500 KG ,THE VEHICLE CAN TRAVEL UPTO 41.4 KM.
2. IF THE ORIGINAL DEFAULT CONDITION WITH CARGO MASS 136 KG ,VEHICLE CAN TRAVEL UPTO 48.2 KM.
3. INCREASE IN WEIGHT LEAD TO LOSS IN POWER.

Q2 In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.

THE VEHICLE INPUT ADVIOR WINDOW.

'EV_defaults_in' File,from load file and click the file to open.

Now Change parameter which present in EV_defaults_in File, like Cargo mass 500 kg and battery capacity (20 Module).

Know , Drive cycle 'CYC_FTP' is use.

CONDITION :-

Number of cycles is equal to 1,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 17.8 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 2,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 33.5 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 4,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 33.5 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 6,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 33.5 km.

BATTERY CAPACITY IS (30 MODULES).

CONDITION :-

Number of cycles is equal to 1,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 17.8 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 2,Vehicle traveled the Distance is35.5 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 4,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 49.1 km.

Number of cycles is equal to 6,Vehicle traveled the Distance is 49.1 km.

CONCLUSION AND OBSERVATION :-

1. WHEN BATTERY CAPACITY IS LESS, THE VEHICLE TRAVEL LESS DISTANCE (BATTERY 20 MODULES).
2. WHEN BATTERY CAPACITY IS MORE, THE VEHICLE TRAVEL MORE DISTANCE (BATTERY 30 MODULES).
3. THE BATTERY CAPACITY WHICH IS THE POWER OR ENERGY STORAGE THAT THE VEHICLE IS DEPEND TO TRAVEL THE CERTIAN DISTANCE.
4. IF ENERGY IS MORE WE WILL TRAVEL THE DISTANCE MORE .

Q3 Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file, Compare your results in table and conclude.

THE VEHICLE INPUT ADVIOR WINDOW.

Search for 'PRIUS_JPN_Defaults_in' ,file from load and click the file to open.

Click 'continue', to open 'SIMULINK PARAMETERS' in that different drive cycle and to create own drive cycle by giving different data to the SIMULINK PARAMETERS LIKE Accleration test, Gradeability test,parameter study.

Now, search for any file from drive cycle list in ADVISOR TOOL.

File'CYC_FPL' Drive cycle.

NOW,PERFORM GRADEBILITY TEST.

OPEN GRADE OPTION MENU FOLDER.

NOW CONSIDER, 'ALL SYSTEM ENABLED' INSTEAD OF 'ENERGY STORAGE DISABLED' AND SPEED VALUE AT 55 mph.

SO BY VARYING THE VALUE OF SPEED IN GRADE OPTION MENU WE GET THE GRADEABILTIY PERCENTAGE.

WE HAVE TAKEN SPEED (55mph) BUT IN RESULTS IT CONVERT INTO (88.5 kmph).

NOTE :- CONVERT mph to kmph

= 55/0.62137=88.5km/h

NOW, SPEED IS (1 mph).

NOW, SPEED IS (10 mph).

NOW, SPEED IS (25 mph).

TABLE :-

CONCLUSION AND OBSERVATION :-

1. IF THE SPEED LESS ,THE GRADEABILITY PRECENTAGE IS MORE.
2. IF THE SPEED MORE ,THE GRADEABILITY PRECENTAGE IS LESS.
3. THEREFORE,SPEED AND GRADEABILITY IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO EACH OTHER.

OBSERVATION :-

ANSWER -1

• NO,VEHICLE CANNOT TRAVEL FOR 45KM WITH FTP DRIVE CYCLE . BECAUSE IN INCREASES OF CARGO WEIGHT 500 KG ,THE VEHICLE CAN TRAVEL UPTO 41.4 KM.
• IF THE ORIGINAL DEFAULT CONDITION WITH CARGO MASS 136 KG ,VEHICLE CAN TRAVEL UPTO 48.2 KM.
• INCREASE IN WEIGHT LEAD TO LOSS IN POWER.

ANSWER -2

• WHEN BATTERY CAPACITY IS LESS, THE VEHICLE TRAVEL LESS DISTANCE (BATTERY 20 MODULES).
• WHEN BATTERY CAPACITY IS MORE, THE VEHICLE TRAVEL MORE DISTANCE (BATTERY 30 MODULES).
• THE BATTERY CAPACITY WHICH IS THE POWER OR ENERGY STORAGE THAT THE VEHICLE IS DEPEND TO TRAVEL THE CERTIAN DISTANCE.
• IF ENERGY IS MORE WE WILL TRAVEL THE DISTANCE MORE .

ANSWER -3

• IF THE SPEED LESS ,THE GRADEABILITY PRECENTAGE IS MORE.
• IF THE SPEED MORE ,THE GRADEABILITY PRECENTAGE IS LESS.
• THEREFORE,SPEED AND GRADEABILITY IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO EACH OTHER.
