Regenerative braking is an energy-recovery technique used in electric and hybrid electric vehicles to improve overall vehicle efficiency. Unlike conventional friction braking, where the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle is dissipated as heat, regenerative braking converts part of this kinetic energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery for subsequent use. The proposed system demonstrates the principle of regenerative braking using DC geared motors, wheels, a braking mechanism, a rechargeable battery, LED indicators, and associated electrical components. During normal operation, electrical energy supplied to the motor is converted into mechanical energy to drive the wheels. When braking is applied, the rotating wheels drive the motor in generating mode, converting the available mechanical energy into electrical energy. The recovered energy is indicated through LEDs and supplied to the battery. The developed prototype demonstrates the feasibility of recovering otherwise wasted braking energy and highlights the potential of regenerative braking for increasing energy efficiency, reducing mechanical brake wear, and improving the performance of electric vehicles.
KEYWORDS
The developed regenerative braking system demonstrates an effective approach for recovering kinetic energy that would normally be dissipated during conventional braking. By operating the DC motor as a generator during braking, a portion of the available mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery. This principle contributes to improved energy efficiency, reduced energy wastage, lower mechanical brake wear, and potentially increased operating range of electric vehicles. Although regenerative braking introduces additional system complexity and depends strongly on the characteristics of the motor and energy-storage system, its advantages make it an important technology for sustainable transportation. Future improvements in battery technology, control algorithms, energy-storage systems, and power-electronic converters can further enhance the efficiency and practical applicability of regenerative braking systems.
