Abstract: To enhance braking energy recovery and improve braking comfort under sliding braking condition for electric vehicles (EVs) with switched reluctance motor (SRM), a novel regenerative braking control scheme based on braking force optimization controller and angle optimization controller is presented in this paper. Firstly, the current regulation method is developed, and the braking torque control strategy with four-phase currents and voltages of SRM drive system is proposed. Braking system (BS) of EVs including mechanical braking system and regenerative braking system is established. Then, the multi-objective optimization strategy (MOOS) for vital control parameters of regenerative braking system is proposed to improve regeneration braking comprehensive performance under sliding braking condition of EVs, where braking energy recovery efficiency, braking impact, and current fluctuation are considered as indexes to reflect working distance, braking smoothness, and battery lifetime of EVs, respectively. Furthermore, braking force optimization controller and angle optimization controller are developed by means of the multi-objective optimization results. Finally, compared to the efficiency optimization, the braking comfort optimization, and the current smoothness optimization strategy, the regenerative braking control scheme with MOOS can effectively increase working distance, improve braking smoothness, and extend battery lifetime of EVs under sliding braking condition. Furthermore, the real-time performance and effectiveness of the braking torque control strategy proposed are verified by simulation and PIL test.
