IEEE Motor Vehicles Challenge (MVC) 2023 EMA installation instructions

Preparations

Make a local clone of the GIT repository https://github.com/DLR-VSDC/IEEE-MVC-2023.
To facilitate operating with git, a helpful tool for Windows is e.g. Tortoise GIT but there are several other Git GUI Clients available.
It is required to have Matlab Version R2021b (tested) or newer installed.
We do make use of the open source (2-Clause BSD license) FMI Kit for Simulink from Catia Systems. For more information on the FMI-Kit please refer to https://github.com/CATIA-Systems/FMIKit-Simulink.
To install it to your system, simply run the script "FMI_Init.m" in your local repository.

Setup test

You can run tests with the "baseline EMA policy": To execute the Simulink model, please run the script "Main.m":

this script will define some parameters of the vehicle system.
The mission profile will be selected according to the user's choice.
At the end of the simulation, an autogenerated report will summarize the performance of the EMA.

Setup your own EMA

Please insert your EMA replacing the baseline policy (the red block in the Simulink model "testEnergyManagementAlgorithm.slx" - Figure 1).
To run the Simulink model, run the main script "Main.m" again.
Evaluate your EMA by checking the generated "Report.html"

Good luck!
