Design and fabrication of regenerative braking system
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryRegenerative braking systems (RBS) are an effective method of recovering the energy
released and at the same time reducing the exhaust and brake emissions of vehicles. This
method is based on the principle of converting the kinetic energy created by the mechanical
energy of the motor into electrical energy. The converted electrical energy is stored in the
battery for later use. This braking system must meet maximum energy recovery criteria by
performing its function safely within the shortest braking distance. This study was conducted
to provide comprehensive information about regenerative energy systems. These systems
provide economic benefits via fuel savings and prevention of material loss. Their use also
contributes to a clean environment and renewable energy sources, which are among the most
important issues on the global agenda. It is clear that more comprehensive studies should be
carried out in this area
The main aim of this project was to develop a product that stores the energy which is normally lost during braking, and reuses it.The use of regenerative braking system in automobiles provides us the means to balance the kinetic energy of the vehicle to some extent which is lost during the process of braking
Project Implementation MethodRegenerative braking is a braking method that uses mechanical energy from the engine by converting kinetic
energy into electrical energy and feeding it back to the battery source. In theory, a regenerative braking system
could convert a fraction of its kinetic energy to charge a battery, using the same principle as an alternator.In regenerative braking mode, it uses a motor to slow down the car when the driver applies a force to the brake
pedal, then the electric motor travels in the opposite direction, thereby slowing the car down. When reversed,
the engine acts as a generator and recharges the battery as shown in figure . Meanwhile, the figure
shows the car in normal driving condition as the engine rotates forward and draws energy from the battery.
Using regenerative braking, greatly reduces fuel dependence, improves fuel economy and reduces emissions.
This type of brake works effectively in driving environments such as stop-and-go driving situations, especially
in urban cities.
