Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

Solution-1

• First open the ADVISOR Tool, set the load file to 'EV_defaults_in'
• components to motor_controller. The above table before giving the mass of 500kg.
• the below ADVISOR TOOL after giving mass 500kg.

• Loading file 'EV_defaults_in in the ADVISOR Tool and the cargo mass input as 500kg.
• On clicking continue the 'Drive cycle window' appears selecting 'CYC_FTP' to the drive cycle.
• the CYC_UDDS IS BEFORE CHANGING TO CYC_FTP.

• each FTP drive cycle lasts for a time period of 2.4 sec and a distance of 11.04miles or 17.7kmph. In order to verify if the vehicle can travel for 45km, we have to consider the number of cycles to be 4.
• ON clicking RUN. the results are obtained

• The results figure window appears the graphs for velocity soc emission and overall ratio are displayed.

conclusion: Hence, 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, and results are obtained.

Solution-2

Loading file 'EV_defaults_in' in the ADVISOR TOOL and set the cargo mass as 500kg. In this case, we will increment the number of battery modules by 15. hence the total is 40 resulting in a nominal voltage of 493v

On clicking continues the drive cycle window appears. selecting 'CYC_FTP' to be the drive cycle. each FTP drive cycle lasts for a time period of 2477 seconds and a distance of 17.77km. In order to verify if the vehicle can travel for 45km, we have considered that the number cycle is 4.

and then run

the results figure window appears the graphs for velocity SOC Emission and overall ratio are displayed.

CONCLUSION: From the above graph of SOC it is evident that the state of charge remains at 20% even after completing 4FTP drive cycles. Also under the fuel consumption tab, the distance traveled is displayed as 53.3 km. Hence by the previous case where the distance traveled was 41.4 km. hence by increasing the number of battery modules from 25 to 40, we can make the EV car easily travel more than 45 km.

Solution-3

Loading 'PRUS_Jpn_defaults_in' in the ADVISOR TOOL

On clicking the continues button the 'drive cycle window' appears. the drive cycle selected is 'CYC_UDDS'.The gradeability test toggle is selected. On clicking the Grade options button, we can set the speed and duration as required. also, other parameters can be changed.

CASE:1.

SPEED = 60mph=96.6kmph and duration =20 seconds. all other parameters are set as default.

CASE:2. SPEED=70 mph =112.7kmph and duration =20 seconds. All other parameters are set as defaults.

CASE:3. SPEED= 80mph=128.7kmph and duration=20 seconds. all other parameters are set as defaults

CASE:4. SPEED =90mph=144.8kmph and duration =20 seconds. All other parameters are ser as default.

CASE:5. SPEED=100mph=160.9kmph and duration=20seconds. All other parameters are set as default

Case	Duration(sec)	Speed(mph)	Speed(kmph)	Gradeability(%)
1	20	60	96.6	10.6
2	20	70	112.7	8.3
3	20	80	128.7	6.2
4	20	90	144.8	4.4
5	20	100	160.9	2.6

CONCLUSION:

In the below table, it is seen that the gradeability has been tested for different speed values keeping the duration values constant. from the table, it is evident that the gradeability decreases with the increase in speed of the vehicle. the change in duration has no the gradeability of the vehicle.

HENCE, THE SIMULATION IS COMPLETED USING THE ADVISOR TOOL.
