The Vehicular Technology Society and Argonne National Laboratory are proud to launch the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2018: Energy Management of a Range Extender Electric Vehicle.

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 the 2018 IEEE VPPC in Chicago.

• a special version of the Autonomie Software (provided by Argonne National Lab)

• a validated vehicle model based on the Chevrolet Volt configuration

• a simplified vehicle control model for the energy management

Important dates:

• February 1st 2018: closing date for registration, you can start to work right now! The participation is free !

• March 1st 2018: Energy Management Strategy submission deadline

• April 2018 : Results

The challenge is open to everyone (academics, students, industrials, etc). Participation to the challenge is free. However, only the VTS members at the moment of the registration can to receive the awards: http://join.vtsociety.org

Awards:

• First prize: $3000 grant to attend the IEEE Vehicular Power & Propulsion Conference 2018 in Chicago (USA)

• Second prize $1500 grant to attend the IEEE Vehicular Power & Propulsion Conference 2018 in Chicago (USA)

Compete with the best teams from around the world!
