The braking energy can be recovered and recycled by the regenerative braking system, which is significant to improve economics and environmental effect of the hydraulic hybrid vehicle. Influencing factors for the energy recovery rate of regenerative braking system in hydraulic hybrid vehicle were investigated in this study. Based on the theoretical analysis of accumulator and energy recovery rate, modeling of the regenerative braking system and its energy management strategy was conducted in the simulation platform of LMS Imagine Lab AMESim. The simulation results indicated that the influencing factors included braking intensity, initial pressure of the accumulator, and initial braking speed, and the optimal energy recovery rate of 87.61% was achieved when the parameters were 0.4, 19 MPa, and 300 rpm, respectively. Experimental bench was constructed and a series of experiments on energy recovery rate with different parameters were conducted, which aimed to validate the simulation results. It could be found, that with the optimal parameters obtained in the simulation process, the actual energy recovery rate achieved in the experiment was 83.33%, which was almost consistent with the simulation result. The obtained high energy recovery rate would promote the application of regenerative braking system in the hydraulic hybrid vehicle.

The battery ability of recovering electricity plays a significant role in improving the regenerative braking performance. In this paper, a control for recovery of braking energy in Electric Vehicles (EVs) with electro hydraulic brake (EHB) is proposed, which makes the recovery transfer to the electric hydraulic pump of EHB directly, rather than being stored statically in the battery. An energy flow strategy was designed for the maximum braking energy recovery based on this control. The simulation results show higher energy recovery rate in comparison to the general recycling control.

This paper proposes a novel decoupled approach of a regenerative braking system for an electric city bus, aiming at improving the utilization of the kinetic energy for rear axle during a braking process. Three contributions are added to distinguish from the previous research. Firstly, an energy-flow model of the electric bus is established to identify the characteristic parameters which affect the energy-saving efficiency of the vehicle, while the key parameters (e.g., driving cycles and the recovery rate of braking energy) are also analyzed. Secondly, a decoupled braking energy recovery scheme together with the control strategy is developed based on the characteristics of the power assistance for electric city bus which equips an air braking system, as well as the regulatory requirements of ECE R13. At last, the energy consumption of the electric city bus is analyzed by both the simulation and vehicle tests, when the superimposed and the decoupled regenerative braking system are, respectively, employed for the vehicle. The simulation and actual road test results show that compared with the superposition braking system of the basic vehicle, the decoupled braking energy recovery system after the reform can improve the braking energy recovery rate and vehicle energy-saving degree. The decoupled energy recovery system scheme and control strategy proposed in this paper can be adopted by bus factories to reduce the energy consumption of pure-electric buses.

This paper establishes a mathematic model of composite braking in the hydraulic hybrid vehicle and analyzes the constraint condition of parallel regenerative braking control algorithm. Based on regenerative braking system character and ECE (Economic Commission of Europe) regulations, it introduces the control strategy of regenerative braking in parallel hydraulic hybrid vehicle (PHHV). Finally, the paper establishes the backward simulation model of the hydraulic hybrid vehicle in Matlab/simulink and makes a simulation analysis of the control strategy of regenerative braking. The results show that this strategy can equip the hydraulic hybrid vehicle with strong brake energy recovery power in typical urban drive state.

A double-loop optimal control strategy combined with a voltage variable charging control scheme is developed to enhance the efficiency of energy recovery and improve control precision for a regenerative hydraulic composite braking system. The proposed voltage variable charging control scheme structure aims to regulate a regenerative braking torque using a charging voltage variation based on an existing battery management system. In addition, an experimental test was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the charging voltage control, and a first loop optimal control was developed to evaluate the ideal ground braking force accurately by transforming several state variables into differential equations. A second optimal control loop was subsequently developed to track an ideal slip ratio using a full-information optimal sliding mode control method under the all-braking conditions. Simulation results corroborate that a composite braking system controlled by the proposed control strategy can implement the regenerative braking behavior precisely with a considerable high-energy recovery efficiency.
