Research on Braking Efficiency of Master-Slave Electro-Hydraulic Hybrid Electric Vehicle

To address the problems of short-rangee and poor braking safety of electric vehicles, this paper proposes a master-slave electro-hydraulic hybrid passenger car drive system based on planetary gear. The system couples the electrical energy output from the electric motor with the hydraulic energy output from the electro-hydraulic pump/motor through the planetary gear. The hydraulic system is used as the auxiliary power source of the power system giving full play to the advantages of the hydraulic system and the electric system. After theoretical analysis, this paper establishes a master-slave electro-hydraulic hybrid electric vehicle (MSEHH-EV) model based on planetary gear in AMESim software. A braking energy recovery control strategy is designed with the maximum braking energy recovery efficiency as the target. Braking strength determines the switching of braking modes. Finally, comparing the certified pure electric vehicle (EV) model in AMESim, we are able to substantiate the superiority of the strategy proposed in this paper. The simulation results revealed that the battery consumption rate of the new power vehicle is reduced by 17.766%, 11.358%, and 9.427% under UDDS, NEDC, and WLTC conditions, respectively, which supports the range. At the same time, the braking distance is significantly shortened, and the maximum braking distance is shortened by 15.65 m, 21.97 m, and 21.45 m, respectively, under the three operating conditions, which improves the braking safety
