Abstract

This paper discusses the design and route to implementation of a regenerative braking system for a Renewable Hydrogen Hybrid Electric Vehicle (RHHEV) that would performs regenerative energy recovery based on vehicle attributes, thereby providing improved performance. A dynamic model of a regenerative braking system for a RHHEV has been derived and implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The model is then incorporated into a simulation model of a RHHEV to analyze the energy management effects of integrating the regenerative braking into the system. Simulations are carried out and the results are discussed in this paper. The results indicate that this approach provides an improvement in performance and fuel efficiency to the RHHEV system.
