Research on Simulation of Electronic-Controlled Pneumatic Regenerative Braking System

In order to improve braking stability and energy recovery ability of electric buses, a new-type electronic-controlled pneumatic regenerative braking system for electric buses was designed. The regenerative braking system controls pneumatic braking force of front and rear wheels by high-speed solenoid valves, which could coordinate mechanical and regenerative braking force effectively. A simulation model of electric bus braking process was established, as well as regenerative braking control strategy. Simulink and AMESim joint simulation analysis of braking process of electric bus was run. The results show that energy recovery of the new-type regenerative braking system is effective and braking control strategy is reasonable.
