The Regenerative Braking System (RBS) is an advanced energy recovery technology used in electric scooters to improve energy efficiency and extend driving range. Unlike conventional braking systems, which dissipate kinetic energy as heat, regenerative braking converts a portion of the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy during deceleration and stores it back in the battery. This research paper examines the working principle, components, advantages, challenges, and performance of regenerative braking systems in electric scooters. The study highlights how the electric motor operates as a generator during braking, enabling energy recovery and reducing energy losses. Various factors affecting regenerative braking efficiency, such as battery state of charge, vehicle speed, motor characteristics, and braking intensity, are also discussed. Research findings indicate that regenerative braking can improve overall energy efficiency, reduce brake wear, and increase the travel range of electric scooters by recovering part of the otherwise wasted energy. Furthermore, the paper explores recent advancements in control strategies and battery management systems that enhance regenerative braking performance. The study concludes that regenerative braking is a vital technology for sustainable electric mobility, contributing to energy conservation, reduced operating costs, and improved environmental performance of electric scooters.
KEYWORDS
The Regenerative Braking System is an essential technology in modern electric scooters that enhances energy efficiency, extends battery range, and reduces mechanical brake wear. By converting kinetic energy into electrical energy during deceleration, regenerative braking minimizes energy losses and improves overall vehicle performance. The study found that factors such as vehicle speed, battery condition, motor characteristics, and control strategies significantly influence energy recovery efficiency. Advanced control algorithms and Battery Management Systems further optimize braking performance and energy utilization. Despite limitations at low speeds and high battery charge levels, regenerative braking remains a crucial component for sustainable electric mobility. Future developments in intelligent control systems, high-efficiency motors, and advanced battery technologies are expected to further improve the effectiveness of regenerative braking systems in electric scooters.
