This　paper　proposes　the　eddy-current　braking　&　heating　system,　which　is　a　novel　efficient　braking　energy　recovery　system　for　electric　bus.　The　system　is　designed　to　solve　two　problems:　one　is　the　low　recovery　efficiency　of　regenerative　braking　energy,　another　is　the　driving　range　dramatic　decline　of　electric　bus　when　heating　the　bus　cabin　in　winter.　The　system　converts　braking　energy　into　heating　energy　directly　by　the　principle　of　eddy　current　braking　and　heating.　It　greatly　improves　the　recovery　efficiency　of　braking　energy.　The　layout　scheme　of　system　is　designed　by　considering　the　vehicle　drive　structure.　The　mathematical　models　of　friction　braking,　regenerative　braking,　eddy-current　braking　&　heating　are　established　respectively.　A　blend　braking　control　strategy　considering　braking　strength,　State　of　Charge,　and　supply　air　temperature　is　proposed.　The　energy　saving　evaluation　parameters　of　the　system　are　presented.　A　simulation　platform　is　built　in　the　MAMAS/Simulink　environment.　The　simulation　and　vehicle　tests　show　that　the　calculated　temperature　and　driving　range　agree　well　with　the　measured　results　and　the　models　are　validated.　Compared　with　Positive　Temperature　Coefficient　heating,　the　recovery　efficiency　of　braking　energy　of　the　system　increases　from　23.8%　to　65.3%,　and　the　improvement　rate　of　driving　range　reaches　81.4%.　The　system　can　satisfy　the　braking　requirement　of　electric　vehicle　by　blend　braking　control　strategy.　The　system　can　effectively　increase　energy　recovery　of　the　regenerative　braking.　It　can　solve　the　reduced　driving　range　problem　of　electric　buses　while　heating　in　winter.
