Extending Low-Speed Cutoff Point During Regenerative Braking of Electric Vehicles Through Energy Loss Minimization

Deepa. M. K;Srikanthan Sridharan;Shankar C. Subramanian

2024 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)
Year: 2024 | Conference Paper |
One of the constraints that limits regenerative braking in electric vehicles is its inability to regenerate energy under low-speed conditions, due to insufficient back-electromotive force developed in the traction motor. Below a certain speed threshold known as the low-speed cutoff point, energy is extracted from the battery instead of being returned, while overcoming electrical losses in the moto...Show More

A transfer function approach to active damping of an induction motor drive with LC filters

Srikanthan Sridharan;Philip T. Krein

2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)
Year: 2015 | Conference Paper |
The use of LC filters between inverter and motor terminals results in undesirable resonant oscillations in motor voltages and currents. Because passive damping methods employ physical resistors to suppress these oscillations, they contribute to additional losses. Lossless active damping methods with virtual resistors have been explored in the literature as a viable alternative. In a typical active...Show More

Optimizing variable DC link voltage for an induction motor drive under dynamic conditions

Srikanthan Sridharan;Philip T. Krein

2015 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC)
Year: 2015 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (13)
Induction motor drives are conventionally operated with a fixed inverter dc-link bus voltage. However, low drive speeds will result in low modulation index and poor dc bus utilization of the inverter. Aperiodic current controllers, such as hysteresis controllers, exhibit increased switching frequencies and losses for higher dc-link voltages. These high switching frequencies can be avoided by dynam...Show More
