Synthetic Benchmark Problems (SBPs) are commonly used to evaluate the performance of metaheuristic algorithms. However, these SBPs often contain various unrealistic properties, potentially leading to underestimation or overestimation of algorithmic performance. While several benchmark suites comprising real-world problems have been proposed for various types of metaheuristics, a notable gap exists for Constrained Multi-objective Optimization Problems (CMOPs) derived from practical engineering applications, particularly in the domain of Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) design. To address this gap, this study develops and presents a specialized benchmark suite for multi-objective optimization in BTMS. This suite comprises a diverse collection of real-world constrained problems, each defined via accurate surrogate models based on recent research to efficiently represent complex thermal-fluid interactions. The primary goal of this benchmark suite is to provide a practical and relevant testing ground for evolutionary algorithms and optimization methods focused on energy storage thermal management. Future work will involve establishing comprehensive baseline results using state-of-the-art algorithms, conducting comparative analyses, and developing a standardized ranking scheme to facilitate robust performance assessment.
