The Impact of SRM Rotor Speed on Regenerative Braking to Optimize the Performance

Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is an electric motor which is still being developed. SRM has various advantages offered, it can be used in various applications such as electric vehicles and so on. These advantages are allowing SRM to be applied in Electric Vehicles. It's is a technology which also developed in optimizing the performance of Electric Vehicles. Regenerative braking technology is reuse wasted energy in conventional braking as additional energy to the battery. It can maximize the performance and further the mileages of Electric vehicles. Variable speed during the braking period has a different impact on the performance of Regenerative Braking. This paper presents the impact caused by changes in speed on SRM motors. Changes in the speed produced by SRM affect changes in the current flowing into the battery. This method uses a constant PWM duty cycle. Laboratory tests have been conducted to confirm the proposed method.
