Comparative Strategies of Control for Regenerative Braking in Electric Vehicles

This paper approaches an analysis maximum torque control distribution of an electric vehicle for induction machine with traction on the two front wheels. The comparison is based on control strategies between scalar control and direct torque control with space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) during decelerations.The strategies focus on critical braking where the combination of regenerative and mechanical braking is necessary to obtain a short distance and recovered energy. The work is simulated on Simulink/Matlab.
