Abstract of Regenerative Braking System

Regenerative braking systems aim to capture and store kinetic energy that would otherwise be lost as heat during vehicle deceleration. The system temporarily stores this energy as electrical charge in batteries to then be used to power acceleration, extending battery life and driving range for electric vehicles. By recapturing up to half of the energy normally lost to heat through friction during braking, regenerative braking can improve fuel efficiency in hybrid vehicles and reduce wasteful environmental impacts.

BRAKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT
As the basic law of Physics says energy can neither be created nor be
destroyed it can only be converted from one form to another. During
huge amount of energy is lost toatmosphere as heat. It will be good if we
could store this energy somehow which is otherwise getting wasted out and
reuse it next time we started to accelerate. Regenerative braking refers to a
system in which the kinetic energy of the vehicle is stored temporarily,as an
accumulative energy, during deceleration, and is reused as kinetic energy during
accelerationor running. Regenerative braking is a small, yet very important, step
towardour eventual independence from fossil fuels. These kinds of brakes allow
batteries to be used for longer periods of time without the need to be plugged
into an external charger. These types of brakes also extend the driving range of
fully electric vehicles. Regenerative braking is a way to extend range of the
electric vehicles. In many hybrid vehicles cases, this system is also applied
hybrid vehicles to improve fuel economy. A normal car is only about 20%
efficient, meaning some 80% of the energy it expends is wasted as heat created
by friction.
Regenerative braking could reclaim as much as half of that wasted energy,
which equates into moremotion produced by the fuel we are paying for instead
of using that fuel to create heat that is being dissipated uselessly into the
environment.
