Standard pulsewidth-modulated inverter-fed induction motor drives employ a diode rectifier bridge to supply AC power from the utility to the DC link. Although a diode rectifier is the most cost-effective solution, it does not permit reversing the power flow. This prohibits operating the machine in the regenerative braking mode for active deceleration. An innovative control method substitutes conventional hardware, such as an active front-end rectifier or a chopper controlled braking resistor in the DC-link circuit, by additional software that is implemented in the standard microprocessor control. The control algorithm maximizes the power losses in the machine and in the inverter. It enables regenerative braking operation of the induction motor at high torque. The algorithm conserves the high dynamic performance of a vector-controlled drive system
