Simulation Research on Neural Network Sliding Mode Control of Energy-Regenerative Braking of Electric Vehicle

To improve the energy-regenerative efficiency and robustness of electric vehicle (EV), a novel energy-regenerative controller was designed and applied to the charge current loop of the EV. The controller that combines neural network (NN) with traditional sliding mode controller (SMC) comprises a radial basis function NN (RBFNN) and a SMC. The RBFNN is used to adaptively adjust the switching gain of the SMC. The simulation model of the energy-regenerative system is built with MATLAB/SIMULINK, and the simulation results show that comparing with traditional SMC, the NNSMC has better performance at response speed, steady-state tracking error and resisting disturbance in energy-regenerative process. Additionally, it can recover more energy.
