Abstract
<title>Abstract</title> <p>This research presents a regenerative braking system based on the proposed Indirect Field Control technique for an induction motor, for electric vehicle applications. By recovering kinetic energy during braking and converting it into electrical energy to recharge the battery system, the project aims to improve the energy efficiency and dynamic performance of electric vehicles. With precise control of the torque and magnetic flux components, the proposed IFOC technique enables a smooth transition between regenerative braking and driving modes, while maintaining system stability and rapid dynamic response. In the experimental section, a flywheel was connected to a three-phase induction motor to measure the DC voltage and current. The power produced by the flywheel at different speeds was then calculated. MATLAB Simulink software was used to model and simulate the induction motor's driving system and the regenerative braking system under various driving and braking scenarios. According to the simulation results, the proposed control strategy successfully improved braking performance, reduced energy loss, enhanced battery energy recovery, and ensured the reliable operation of the electric vehicle's driving system. The results confirm that the proposed IFOC-based regenerative braking strategy provides an effective and viable method for improving the overall performance and energy management of electric vehicles. This improves dynamic performance by reducing braking time, which is divided into a portion where energy is recovered and another portion where braking occurs.</p>
