Simulation of a Regenerative braking System Producing Controlled braking Force

摘要

The pure electric vehicles (PEV) research is mainly focus on regenerative braking. How to improve the efficiency of battery power utilization and increase vehicles' driving range is a crucial problem. Based on the analysis of braking feeling, super capacitor characteristics and the efficiency of regenerative braking energy recovery, the control strategy of regenerative braking system is firstly established, which has two objective functions. One is to control the regenerative braking force. The other is to improve the recovery efficiency of regenerative braking energy. Then, the main operating mode of regenerative braking system is presented. On this basis, regenerative braking controller that is based on DC-DC controller is designed and implemented in simulink software. The results show that the regenerative braking control strategy can effectively control the regenerative braking force during braking and increase driving range of electric vehicles.
