Invited talk: This benchmark proposes a thermal management problem for the battery electric vehicles (BEVs) considering both the energy consumption minimization, the temperature controls of electric devices and comfortability of cabin. The vehicle is assumed running
in a connected environment with real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) data available. The benchmark problem formulation is given and a simulation platform of BEV with V2X data is provided for the challengers. The purpose of this benchmark problem is to provide a platform for students and early-career researchers to tackle the challenges of on-board thermal management strategies in electric vehicles, and to exchange cutting-edge research results in automotive system control and optimization.
