Abstract

This paper is the part four (4) of the total 8 papers of the series motor four quadrants DC chopper that describes the generator mode operation of a four quadrant drive DC chopper that is applicable for EV traction. Alternative excitation methods proposed in this work resulted in greater build up voltage and armature current of the series motor when operating in generator mode. In order to achieve a longer traversed distance, the converter of an EV should utilize the optimum amount of power from the batteries at all time. Hence, the work has been extended to a simulation of the battery charging process and the effect due to huge voltage difference between the generated voltage and battery terminal voltage. The operation mode is modelled and simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the proposed excitation methods have been verified through experimental set-up.
