Hi @Gokarna-Bahadur-Thapa,

This project makes you eligible to participate in the Sustainability and Renewable Energy Challenge. If you want to participate in the challenge you will have to submit a solution by January 5, 2024. Otherwise, you can ask for more time if you need it. Regarding the project, there is no plan to archive it yet.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Hi all — I'm Atharva, a Mechatronics Master's student at Hochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten, Germany, working solo on Predictive Electric Vehicle Cooling (#194).

The short version: reactive thermostat cooling reacts too late — by the time it turns on, the battery's already hot. I built a Simscape Fluids cooling plant (cold plate, pump, radiator) and put three controllers on it — a reactive baseline, a lookahead-predictive controller, and a full nonlinear MPC — then benchmarked them against each other on a UDDS drive cycle and a nastier fast-charge stress scenario. The predictive/MPC controllers eliminate every safety-threshold excursion the reactive one hits, at the cost of spending cooling energy earlier instead of saving it — a real trade-off, not a free win.

Repo's here if you want to poke at it or compare notes: https://github.com/atharvaajaynikam4601-netizen/Predictive-Electric-Vehicle-Cooling

Would genuinely enjoy hearing from anyone else tackling this one — especially if you found a different angle on the predictive controller.
