Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
The cargo mass is changed to 500 kgs.
With two drive cycles The EV runs 35.5 kms. The SoC is reached to 20%. so for utilising the battery, the extra drive cycle need to add
By observing the soc curve, it is concluded that the EV traveeled only 41.4 km. The SoC at 41.4 km is at 0%.
2.
The capacity of battery is changed from 25 units to 30 units.
The EV runs for 7000 seconds and 49.1 kms.
3. The PRIUS_JPN_defaults_in is loaded in ADVISOR with UDDS Drive cylce which give 12 km travel duration. The minimum soc is setting at 45%. The Gradability is included in the gradebility options.
The vehicle is simulated without gradeability.
Gradeability at 80.5 km/h.
Gradeabilty at 48.3 kmph
| S.No | Gradebility (%) | Maximum speed (kmph) | Gradebility at speed (kmph) |
| 1 | Nil | 50 | NA |
| 2 | 2 | 50 | 80.3 |
| 3 | 8 | 30 | 48.3 |
| 4 | 20 | 80 | 128.7 |
The gradebility at maximum speed depends on maximum speed attained by the vehicle.
