To improve braking performance and regenerative energy of front drive electric vehicles (EVs) driven by switched reluctance motor (SRM), a regenerative braking control strategy based on multi-objective optimization of switched reluctance generator (SRG) drive system is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a partition braking force distribution strategy is developed by jointly considering braking energy and safety, and SRG drive system model is established based on low and high-speed condition. The vehicle braking system model including mechanic and regenerative braking system is built. Then, a multi-objective optimization function with three weight factors is defined, where output generated power, torque smoothness, and current smoothness are selected as optimization objectives to improve the driving range, braking comfort, and battery lifetime, respectively. Furthermore, a multi-objective optimization controller with variable switch angles is designed and combined with vehicle braking system. Finally, braking energy recovery efficiency, braking smoothness, and charging current smoothness under the multi-objective optimization controller for SRG are analyzed and compared with those under output power optimization controller. The comparison results show that the regenerative braking control strategy based on multi-objective optimization of SRG can effectively increase the vehicle braking comfort and improve battery lifetime without decreasing recovery energy.
Permanent magnet traction motor has the advantages of high efficiency, high power density, high torque density and quick dynamic response, which has been widely used in the traction field of electric vehicle. The high-performance control of permanent magnet traction motor depends on accurate rotor position information, which is usually obtained by using mechanical position sensors such as hall sensor, encoder and rotary transformer. However, the traditional mechanical sensor has the disadvantages of high cost, large volume and poor anti-interference ability, which limits the application of permanent magnet motor. The sensorless control technology is an effective way to solve the above-mentioned problem. Firstly, the sensorless control techniques of permanent magnet motor are classified. The sensorless control techniques of permanent magnet motor for rotor initial position, zero-low speed range, medium-high speed range and full speed range are deeply described and compared. Finally, the development trend of sensorless control technology of permanent magnet traction motor is prospected.
