Research on regenerative braking control strategy of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle considering CVT ratio rate of change

At present, the regenerative braking control strategies for hybrid electric vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT) mainly focus on improving the regenerative braking efficiency. But the influence of dynamic change of the CVT ratio is not considered with regard to the intended braking effect. For a CVT ratio control strategy based on steady-state optimal efficiency, the performance of motor-only braking and engine/motor combined braking modes are analyzed. The analysis of these modes shows that actual braking strength deviates from that required during the dynamic braking process. After analyzing the dynamic characteristics of a transmission system, a CVT ratio control strategy based on the limitations of the ratio rate of change is proposed, with the use of a discrete exhaustive optimization method. The simulation results show that, under a variety of braking conditions, the proposed regenerative braking control strategy can make the actual braking strength follow the requirements and recover more braking energy.
