IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2024 - Energy and Powertrain Losses Management of an e-Racing Vehicle

Motor Vehicle Challenge, supported by IEEE Ve-hicular Technology Society, is an annual activity to find an appropriate energy management strategy to improve electric vehicles' performance. In Challenge 2024, power losses and efficiency of power converters using silicon carbide MOSFET and an internal permanent magnet (IPM) motor are modelled and implemented into an electric vehicle powertrain model for a racing vehicle with hybrid energy storage sources. The objective of the developed energy management strategy is to minimise both the size, energy consumption of the energy storage sources and the losses and cost of all the power electronics converters. Participants from both academia and industry are welcome to participate and submit the solutions for the Challenge.
