An energy-conserving control system for an electrically driven vehicle comprises a traction motor (3) converting electricity generated by a first generator (1) into mechanical propulsion, and combined with a second generator into a single induction motor/generator (3) operative during deceleration to convert vehicle kinetic energy into electricity; a second motor (2) to convert electricity into mechanical energy stored in a flywheel, and a third generator operative during subsequent acceleration to convert energy stored in a flywheel into electricity to drive the traction motor (3). The second motor and the third generator are also combined as a single induction motor/generator (2). The respective functions of the various motors and generators during acceleration and deceleration are largely determined by variations in the direction and magnitude of the currents applied to their energizing or field windings. |
