Abstract:
Regenerative brake cooperative control balances the brake force of the regenerative and hydraulic brakes to minimize the amount of kinetic energy lost to heat and friction. It recovers the energy by converting it into electrical energy. To convert kinetic energy to electrical energy the system uses MG2 as a generator. The drive axle and MG2 are joined mechanically. When the drive wheels rotate MG2 which tends to resist the rotation of the wheels, providing both electrical energy and the brake force needed to slow the vehicle. The greater the battery charging amperage, the greater the resistance. The various uses of regenerative brakes are recharging a battery pack that power vehicle, taking accessory loads such as lights, taking accessory loads such as radio and stereo, giving power to pumps, conditioners and fans and in railways.
