A Robust Regenerative-Braking Control of Induction Motors for EVs Applications.

EVs suffer from short driving range because of limited capacity of the battery. An advantage of EVs over internal-combustion vehicles is the ability of regenerative braking (RB). By this advantage, EVs can develop energy by RB which can be stored in the battery for later use to increase the driving range of EVs. There are different motors that can be used in EVs, and the control during RB mode is dedicated for certain motor types. However, the previous studies for EV-based IM drives consider the motor-speed control without considering its RB. This paper proposes a robust control of induction motor (IM) during RB mode of EVs. The proposed control system is simple and depends only on mathematical calculations. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness and accuracy of the suggested control strategy with a good dynamic behavior under different operating conditions. Also, the results assure the robustness of control capabilities under parameters uncertainties during the RB mode of EV-based IM drives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
