Dr. Reza Sabzehgar Awarded the Best Paper Award at IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC) 2020

Dr. Reza Sabzehgar, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, along with co-authors S. Heydari, P. Fajri, and M. Shadmand received the Best Paper Award at IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC2020)  for their paper on "Maximizing Harvested Energy through Regenerative Braking Process in Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive Electric Vehicles". This paper introduces a braking strategy for a dual-motor all-wheel drive electric vehicle that maximizes energy extraction during braking. The braking strategy is based on real-time sensing of each motor controller’s DC link current to achieve optimum brake allocation between friction and regenerative braking in both axles.
