MOTOR REGENERATION CONTROL : System Description


REGENERATIVE BRAKE ELECTRIC GENERATION

During deceleration, the traction motor inverter drives the traction motor to function as a generator based on the signal sent via HEV system CAN from the HPCM, converting the kinetic torque generated by rotation of the tires into electrical energy. The converted electrical energy charges the Li-ion battery.
The regenerative torque that is generated when the traction motor is driven as a generator can be used as braking force, acting similar to engine braking and reducing the burden on the service brakes.

ENGINE ELECTRIC GENERATION

While the vehicle is driven by traction force from engine, traction motor inverter converts the engine drive force into electric energy. Converted electric energy is charged into Li-ion battery.
