Abstract

The Regenerative Braking System of the hybrid/electrical vehicle is a key technology for improving the efficiency of the automobile by 20-40% depending on motor size. Regenerative braking contributes toward increasing the range of hybrid/electrical vehicles. Energy normally dissipated in the brakes is directed by a power transmission system to the energy store during deceleration. It helps to save fuel in hybrid vehicles and to reduce emissions of CO2 and pollutants, particularly in urban traffic situations involving frequent braking and acceleration. In addition, using the generator for braking also reduces brake wear and the build-up of brake dust.
