Research on coordinated control strategy for braking energy recovery of pure electric vehicles based on ESC.

Taking a rear‐wheel drive pure electric vehicle as the research object, considering the safety during braking and improving energy recovery rate, a study was conducted on the distribution strategy of front and rear axle braking force. During the braking process, the feedback braking force of the motor and the hydraulic braking force with an electronic stability controller (ESC) were coordinated and controlled, to ensure that the total required braking force was met. A fuzzy logic controller has been designed, with three variables of battery state of charge, vehicle speed, and braking intensity as inputs, and a modified motor braking ratio as output variable to prevent wheel lockup. Using Cruise software, a co‐simulation model was established with Amesim and Simulink, and simulation validation was conducted on the braking process and cycling conditions. The simulation results showed that the brake recovery strategy based on fuzzy control can effectively improve the vehicle's control performance and energy recovery rate compared to the Economic Commission of Europe regulation. The NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) working condition improved by 10.41% and the CLTC‐P (China Light‐duty Vehicle Test Cycle‐passenger) working condition improved by 10.57%. Effectively improving power consumption per 100 km, NEDC decreased by 1.81% and CLTC‐P decreased by 2.62%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
