Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool
1.Opening Advisor.m file in matlab:
Launching advisor tool from matlab:
Selecting Ev default in to load file option:
Assigning cargo mass as 500 Kg:
Selecting drive cycle as cyc_FTP:
Output plot:
- The results figure window appears the graphs for velocity, soc, emission and Motor power losses 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.
2. In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.
Changing Battery modules to 50 and resulting nomial value is 617v
Results:
hence by increasing the number of battery modules from 25 to 50, we can make the EV car easily travel more than 45 km.
3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file
Compare your results in table and conclude.
| Speed(mph) | Time(Sec) | Gradeability |
| 60 | 20 | 10.6 |
| 70 | 20 | 8.3 |
| 80 | 20 | 6.2 |
| 90 | 20 | 4.4 |
| 100 | 20 | 2.6 |
The gradeability changes with respect to speed.
As the speed increases, Gradeability percent is decreases.
