Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

1. FTP Drive cycle using ADVISOR

an EV vehicle is selected as model. changing its cargo mass to 500kg and keeping all the parameters in default state

Drive cycle is changed to FTP and number of cycles is given as 3

conclusion:-

I. The first graph shows the 3 drive cycles, second graph is state of charge of battery which becomes zero right after the completion of 3rd drive cycle, as the vehicle is ev there is no emission so third plot shows 0 and the same with ratio.

II. As per the given inputs the total distance travelled by the vehicle is 25.7mph which is 41.4kmph as the target given is 45kmph, hence the vehicle didn't achieve its target.

2. Same problem with a varied battery capacity

here the battery capacity is changed to 28kw from 25kw which is default

conclusion:-

I. The first graph shows the 3 drive cycles, the second graph is state of charge of battery which becomes zero right after the completion of 3rd drive cycle, as the vehicle is ev there is no emission so the third plot shows 0 and the same with ratio.

II. As per the given inputs the total distance traveled by the vehicle is 28.6mph which is 45.84kmph as target given is 45kmph, hence the vehicle achieved its target.

3. Gradeability test of PRIUS_Jpn

conclusion: keeping all the parameters in default condition the gradeability test is conducted at 55mph speed. the result is 1.7%
