Torque Allocation and Energy Management Strategy for a Multi-Motor Electric Vehicle

The 2023 edition of the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge proposed to develop energy and mechanical management strategies for an electric vehicle (EV) equipped with three motors and a hybrid energy system based on fuel cells and batteries. The proposed strategy aimed to maximize the performance of the EV by making it possible to work the hybrid energy storage system, as much as possible, in its optimal efficiency range and by adequately allocating the total required torque among the three motors. The developed strategy achieved second place at the 2023 edition of the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge.
