IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles Challenge 2020 - Energy Management of a Fuel Cell/Ultracapacitor/Lead-Acid Battery Hybrid Electric Vehicle

This paper proposes a challenge focused on the energy management of a Fuel Cell/Ultracapacitors/Battery Vehicle. Both Academic and Professional teams are welcomed to participate in this challenge. The aim of this challenge is to develop a robust Energy Management Strategy to increase the energy sources’ lifetime and to minimize the hydrogen consumption. In this way, the simulation model and control presented in this paper will be provided to the challenge participants (downloadable Matlab Simulink file). The top scoring participants will be distinguished and invited to present their results in a special session at the 2020 IEEE VPPC.
