2012 GM Volt tested in the Argonne National Laboratory
In October 2016, a first international challenge devoted to the energy management of a fuel cell/battery vehicle was launched during the 2016 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC), in Hangzhou, China.
Following the success of this first initiative, IEEE VTS and Argonne National Laboratory propose a second challenge focused on the energy management of a Range Extender Electric Vehicle like the Chevrolet Volt.
Both Academic and Professional teams are welcomed to participate in this challenge. The aim is to develop a robust Energy Management Strategy to minimize the combined cost of fuel and battery charging. In this way, a validated vehicle model and control will be provided to the challenge participants by the use of the Autonomie software, developed by the Argonne National Laboratory, and based on Matlab, SimulinkTM, & StateflowTM.
The top scoring participants will be distinguished with a monetary award and invited to present their results in a special session at IEEE VPPC 2018 in Chicago.
