REGENERATIVE BREAKING SYSTEM WITH POWER MONITOR

The regenerative braking system used in vehicles satisfies the purpose of saving a part of the energy lost during braking. The energy is converted into heat by friction brakes which are dissipated to the environment. This Energy is utilized to rotate the rotor of generator converting mechanical energy of wheels into useful charge of battery. The regenerative braking system cannot be used as main braking system of vehicle as it cannot bring the vehicle to rest. Regenerative braking system have significant room for improvement. Regenerative braking is still very limited and dependent on uncontrollable variables. Also, danger can arise if regenerative braking is applied to two-wheel-drive brake systems. However, regenerative braking does have various benefits. A proper implementation of regenerative braking system extends driving range, improves braking efficiency, reduces brake wear, and improves energy conservation.
