Electric Motor Control with Regenerative Braking Cody Doremus & Keegan Roach Advisor: Mr. Gutschlag Bradley Electrical Engineering Senior Design Project
Regenerative Breaking - Overview • Regenerative braking is used to improve the efficiency (fuel economy) of: • Electric Vehicles • Hybrid Vehicles • Industrial Applications • Lowers operation costs
Project Goals • Design and implement a test bench to determine the efficiency of regenerative braking • Develop and verify a model for regenerative braking
Background Information • Spin off of a current Bradley Mechanical Engineering electric vehicle project • Scope changes • Full scale regenerative braking prototype • 3 phase servo motor • Regenerative braking test bench • DC brushed motor
Research • Motors • Drives • Energy Storage • Power Conversion • Existing Products
Tasks for Future Project • Replace the resistor with a battery and switching voltage regulator • Model the switching voltage regulator in Simulink • Develop electronics to use regeneration on an AC Servo Motor
