Regenerative
Braking
Regenerative
braking is the process of recovering some of the kinetic energy
of a hybrid electric vehicle or electric vehicle energy by
allowing the wheels to drive a traction motor as a generator,
thereby producing electric power that is stored for later
use. When the driver brakes, the motor becomes a generator,
using the kinetic energy of the vehicle to generate electricity
that can be stored in the battery for later use. Traditional
friction brakes are also necessary, as well as a strategy
for smoothly blending the two braking mechanisms. Regenerative
and friction brakes need to be controlled electronically so
that stopping ability is maximized to make the dual brake
operation transparent to the driver.
