Abstract
Regenerative Braking Systems (RBS) can provide an efficient method to assist hybrid trucks achieve better fuel economy while lowering exhaust emissions. This paper describes the design and testing of regenerative braking systems,. The friction based Adjustable Braking System (ABS) on the truck is integrated with each of the new braking systems in order to ensure truck safety and stability. The design of the RBS is facilitated by Simulink which is used to build an interactive, multi-domain simulator that is allows parametric variation of vehicle speed, State of Charge (SOC) for the batteries, and the maximum current to be allowed to the batteries from the RBS. The required braking forces as a function of wheel speed are modeled using dSpace.Results indicate that all three braking systems provide some energy recovery, with the serial RBS providing the best combination of energy recovery with acceptable drivability, safety and stability. Overall results confirm that regenerative braking systems can recover significant braking energy while operating in a safe and predictable manner.In today’s world, where there are energy crisis and the resources are depleting at a higher rate, there is a need of specific technology that recovers the energy, which gets usually wasted. So, in case of automobiles one of these useful technology is the regenerative braking system. Generally in automobiles whenever the brakes are applied the vehicle comes to a halt and the kinetic energy gets wasted due to friction in the form of kinetic energy. Using regenerative braking system in automobiles enables us to recover the kinetic energy of the vehicle to some extent that is lost during the braking process. In this paper the author discusses two methods of utilising the kinetic energy that is usually wasted by converting it into either electrical energy or into mechanical energy. Regenerative braking system can convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy with help of electric motor. And it can also convert the kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which is supplied to the vehicle whenever it is needed, with the help of a flywheel.
