SIMULATION AND EVALUATION OF A REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM USING A PMSM MOTOR FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Abstract

This paper presents the research results on the development and simulation of a regenerative braking system for electric vehicles based on a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The system is modeled and implemented on the MATLAB/Simulink platform, comprising the main components: vehicle dynamics model, inverter, PMSM drive, control system, and energy storage system. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed regenerative braking system is capable of effectively recovering energy during vehicle deceleration, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the electric vehicle. The outcomes of this study can serve as a reference for teaching, learning, and scientific research, and contribute to enhancing the quality of training for staff and lecturers in the field of automotive engineering at Quang Ninh University of Industry as well as other technical institutions nationwide.
