Regenerative braking is a system in which the electric motor which normally drives a pure hybrid or electric vehicle is essentially reverse operated (electrically) during braking or braking. Instead of consuming energy to power a vehicle, the engine acts as a generator that charges the batteries on board with electrical power that would normally be lost as heat through the traditional mechanical friction brakes. As the engine "works the other way around", it generates electricity. The accompanying friction (electric resistance) assists the normal brake pads in overcoming the inertia and helps to retard the vehicle. Regenerative brakes are more effective at certain speeds. In fact, they are more useful in stop-and-go situations. Hybrids and electric cars also have friction brakes that act as a type of backup system in scenerios where regenerative braking can not deliver enough energy to stop. In these cases, drivers should know that the brake pedal could respond differently to pressure. Sometimes it will depress more to the ground than usual - a feeling that may momentarily cause drivers to panic.
The regenerative braking system is an advanced and supplementary braking system that is used together with the conventional braking system; In modern electric / hybrid vehicles. Most of the latest vehicles from manufacturers, such as; Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Mercedes use regenerative braking technology. Conventional braking causes friction between the brake pads and the brake disc. It converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat, which becomes waste. However, the regenerative system recovers part of the residual energy and restarts it. The system captures and converts this residual energy into electricity. The electricity, thus regenerated; Charges the battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle.
working
In the regenerative braking system, the engine; Driving an electric vehicle, it also performs the braking function. The system consists of an electric motor with double function. It functions as an engine, in one direction and also as a generator, in the opposite direction. When it functions as a motor, it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and drives the wheels. However, while braking; It runs in the opposite direction and becomes an electric generator. The application of the brakes of an electric or hybrid vehicle causes the electric motor to operate in the reverse direction, ie in generator mode, whereby; Slowing the wheels.
During this time, the wheels transfer the kinetic energy or the moment; Back to the generator. As it rotates, the generator converts this kinetic energy into electrical energy. Subsequently, it transfers the electricity generated back to the batteries, therefore; Charge them. Regenerative braking uses complex electronic circuits, to choose between; The direction of forward / reverse rotation of the engine. In some cases, capacitors are used to store electrical energy for later use. Keep the battery fully charged; Especially in electric vehicles, it is very useful; That extends its autonomy. It also helps to improve mileage and reduce emissions to some extent in the case of hybrid vehicles.
