Abstract

To stimulate research in the area of automotive electronics and electric vehicles, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) initiated the Motor Vehicles Challenge. The objective of the 2021 edition of this challenge is to provide a benchmark problem for the energy management of a dual-motor electric vehicle. To solve this, we propose a pragmatic optimization-based energy management system (EMS) that minimizes the instantaneous power consumption of the vehicle through manipulation of torque distribution ratios among the electric motors. Numerical results obtained with the VTS benchmark simulation model demonstrate that the proposed EMS can extend the vehicle range up to 3% when compared to baseline solutions.
