Brushless DC motor is suitable to be implemented in electric vehicles for it can develop high torque and is capable to do regenerative braking. During the motor is running, back electromotive force is generated with its magnitudes lower than the DC-link. To make the motor current can flow into the battery in regenerative braking mode, a bidirectional converter with boosting function capability is required. Standard three-phase converter can be controlled to provide such requirements. In this paper, a simple control strategy for a BLDC converter to operate under regenerative braking is proposed. it is capable to be operated in lower speed due to its boosting chopping concept. To verify the analysis, simulations and experimental works were done. They show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
