Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for motor regeneration are provided. One method for motor regeneration includes receiving a torque command and a maximum DC current from an electronic control unit, determining a drive unit loss, generating a DC current, and providing the DC current to a DC battery pack. Generating the DC current is based, at least in part, on the torque command, the maximum DC current, and the drive unit loss. The method advantageously generates the maximum amount of DC current that is acceptable by the battery pack while keeping the torque availability high and consistent. The generated DC current is also known as the maximum battery charge DC current.
