Abstract

This paper proposes a regenerative braking system for electric bicycle based on DSP. The proposed method is used to adjust the switching sequence of the inverter, so that the braking energy can be used to charge the battery. With the cooperation of braking energy recovery technology and a digital signal processor (TMS320LF2407) as the control unit, the braking energy is transformed to electrical energy for battery charging. The recovered energy stored in the battery can increase the driving endurance of the electric vehicles.
