Regenerative braking System

  • Energy Recovery: Regenerative braking saves energy by redirecting the usual braking loss back into the vehicle system.

  • Capture at Axle: The system captures kinetic energy during braking at the rotating axle.

  • Battery Charging: The captured energy is then directed to charge the vehicle's battery, providing an additional power source.

  • Application in Electric Vehicles (EVs): Commonly used in electric and hybrid vehicles, the brake pedal's activation puts the electric motor into a reverse mode, acting both as a brake and a generator.

  • Key Components: Brake Drum: Attached to the wheel, Friction Lining: Engages the drum during braking, Electric Generator (D.C Motor): Converts kinetic energy to electricity.

  • Linking Mechanism: Coordinates movement between components.

  • Friction Lining Mechanism: Dormant in non-braking periods, Engages with the wheel's drum during braking, Induces synchronous movement in the electric motor.

  • Electric Motor's Dual Role: Acts as a brake, slowing the vehicle's wheels, Transforms into an electric generator during braking.

  • Efficiency Boost: Enhances the efficiency of the braking process by converting kinetic energy into electricity.

  • Endurance and Range: The regenerative braking system contributes to increased endurance and range for electric vehicles.

  • Environmental Impact: Represents an eco-friendly solution, aligning with sustainability goals by conserving energy during braking and reusing it for further propulsion.
