Design and Implementation of Electrical Dynamic Braking system in Electric Car Using Buck converter
This paper proposes a design of closed-loop control of pulse width modulated DC converter with PID control methods used to control a braking system in an electric car. The control output determines the desired switching signals to reduces the tracking error in presence of a variable setpoint. The setpoint is a function of the car’s speed and it reaches zero as the car comes to a complete stop. The proposed system of the controller, the converter, and the electric brakes, is designed to reduce the speed to zero in two seconds. The system is described using mathematical equations, simulated with Matlab/ Simulink, and will be tested practically by a scaled prototype experiment.
