Week-11 Challenge: Braking

EV LIVE SESSION 16

 Electric motor can't develop braking torque at high speed similar to starting, because Braking Torque of an EV Motor is not as high as the Acceleration Torque. Therefore Regenerative braking is cannot happen so effectively that we can get all the power back to the battery.

Brake force distribution must be uniform.If the regenerative braking power requirement is more than the charging limit of the battery,then mechanical brakes must be applied as well.so usually its the combination of mechanical brake as well as regenerative brake.the reason for how these two brake forces are combined is called brake control strategies. 

series braking- mechanical as well as regenerative electric brake are applied one after another.

parallel braking-in case we apply both the brakes simultaneously at same time.

EDIB(Electric Driven Intelligence Brake)- combination of hydraulic as well as mechanical along with a regenerative brake.this is a parallel braking technique.
