Regenerative braking energy storing phenomena in fuel cell based electric vehicle

Abstract

In this paper, the regenerative braking phenomena of induction motor in fuel cell vehicle is presented. Based on the propulsion system of fuel cell based electric vehicle, motoring and regenerative braking control phenomena are discussed in detail. Simulation in MATLAB is performed to verify the regenerative braking proposed approach. Uniqueness of this paper can be explained in the term of efficiently storing the regenerative braking energy as well as lowering system THD. In this paper, proposed topologies are designed to run three phase induction motor drive of 5.4 HP. Proposed topology is presented in this paper with 3.35 % phase voltage THD and 9.02 % phase current THD.
