Regenerative braking is an energy recovery system that decelerates a moving vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery as chemical energy. This process is achieved by operating the electric motor as a generator during braking, enhancing battery efficiency by up to 15% without additional external charging. The kinetic energy from the vehicle’s wheels is captured, converted into electrical energy, and returned to the battery. In this project, regenerative braking is implemented by controlling the torque directly during both acceleration and braking phases. A MATLAB/Simulink model is used to simulate the system, incorporating pulse-width modulation (PWM) and a MOSFET-based switching circuit. The system operates optimally when braking intensity ranges from 10% to 60%, maximizing energy recovery. A unique feature of this approach is improving the battery’s State of Charge (SOC) based on the frequency and duration of braking intervals during deceleration. By recharging vehicle batteries during braking, this method reduces energy losses by 20% and extends the vehicle’s range by 12%. These improvements make electric vehicles more efficient and cost-effective. This project showcases the effective reuse of energy stored in vehicle components during braking or deceleration. By reducing energy losses and extending the operational range, it provides a practical solution to improve energy efficiency in electric vehicles.

摘要

Regenerative braking is an energy recovery system that decelerates a moving vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery as chemical energy. This process is achieved by operating the electric motor as a generator during braking, enhancing battery efficiency by up to 15% without additional external charging. The kinetic energy from the vehicle’s wheels is captured, converted into electrical energy, and returned to the battery. In this project, regenerative braking is implemented by controlling the torque directly during both acceleration and braking phases. A MATLAB/Simulink model is used to simulate the system, incorporating pulse-width modulation (PWM) and a MOSFET-based switching circuit. The system operates optimally when braking intensity ranges from 10% to 60%, maximizing energy recovery. A unique feature of this approach is improving the battery’s State of Charge (SOC) based on the frequency and duration of braking intervals during deceleration. By recharging vehicle batteries during braking, this method reduces energy losses by 20% and extends the vehicle’s range by 12%. These improvements make electric vehicles more efficient and cost-effective. This project showcases the effective reuse of energy stored in vehicle components during braking or deceleration. By reducing energy losses and extending the operational range, it provides a practical solution to improve energy efficiency in electric vehicles.
