Abstract

Prior to the congress a very challenging control benchmark for electromobility, was formulated. It aims at solving problems where control engineering is of benefit for reaching a sustainable transportation system. In the benchmark problem, an electric truck is to be controlled where hydrogen is the energy carrier and a fuel cell act as an energy converter while a battery is used to support the operation. The benchmark focuses on transportation missions with trucks, where the transportation mission must be fulfilled within a given time, but the technology is generic and applicable to all types of vehicles. The benchmark problem has been solved by several teams during the spring.

This session will present the benchmark problem and then the teams will present what they focused on and how they developed solutions that aimed at fulfilling the mission as energy efficiently as possible while considering the many challenges that we face when we want to propel the vehicle forward. In particular, several subsystems have constraints that need to be fulfilled for the safe operation and durability of the system. Examples of this are computational power as well as the temperature of the fuel cell in combination with its voltage.
