REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM USING FLYWHEEL

Abstract :

 Usually in cars hydraulic akes are used, which converts the excess of kinetic energy into heat, due to which there is energy lost. Regenerative aking technology focuses on converting this kinetic energy of the decelerating wheels back into electrical energy so we can use this energy again, for example during acceleration. Currently new hyid vehicles are installed with such aking technology, which makes them particularly interesting for situations where there is frequent deceleration, like in traffic. However, the technology used in these vehicles has its limitations and therefore, we have to use this technology with conventional hydraulic akes. This paper removes the limitation mentioned above and allows a vehicle to fully rely on regenerative aking technology to deal with all aking situation from slowing down a vehicle to stop a vehicle. To enable this, multiple generators are used which have different gear ratio. One more advantage of using this construction is , by introducing the appropriate control circuit, the generators can be used as electrical engine. As the motors are connected with different gear ratios so at any speed we can get a consistent acceleration. This paper shows us that the ,overall efficiency of the system is nearby to the efficiency of the generators used while achieving aking performance which is similar to conventional aking mechanisms.
