Abstract :
In electrical energy production systems, energy flows make use of various energy conversions which are, for the most part, essential. DC-DC conversion is one of them. Often, choppers, like step-down (Buck), step-up (Boost) or step-down-boost (Buck-Boost), ensure this conversion. In this work, the use of current variators, boost converter, is considered. These are power electronics converters, often used by various fields, including the field of transport. With the appearance of electric vehicles, they see themselves as being among the elements that will ensure the best energy exchange of the whole. And above all, its involvement in the regenerative braking of said vehicle is highlighted. Starting from the concept of recovery of braking energy, we will relay the type of converter used, often reversible in current. And without going into detail, the block diagram of the electric vehicle studied, equipped with the electronic differential is illustrated. The results obtained during the simulation using Matlab/Simulink clearly demonstrate the feasibility of recovering braking energy.
