Topic: REGENERATIVE & DISC
BRAKING
 Introduction

A brake is a device by means of

which artificial frictional resistance
is applied to a moving machine
member, in order to retard or stop
the motion of a machine.
What is Regenerative Braking?
 Conventional braking systems convert
kinetic energy into heat, usually via
friction.
This wastes a great deal of energy!
 Regenerative braking systems reclaim
and storing the kinetic energy in a
reusable manner
 Many modern electric drive vehicles
including electric locomotives and HEVs
have regenerative braking systems
 How This Braking Works
 Vehicle has forward momentum
 The wheels are coupled to the rotors of
electric traction motors in an EV
 The rotors experience opposing torque
as current is induced in the motor coils
 This opposing torque slows the vehicle
 The generated electrical energy is
stored

Mechanical Methods
 Hydraulic Regenerative
Braking
Slows the vehicle by
compressing gas and
storing it in an accumulator
Pressure is used to assist A VW Beetle converted to
the engine upon forward a hydraulic hybrid that claims
up to 80% regeneration
acceleration efficiency
Potentially more efficient
than electric regenerative
brake systems

Regenerative Braking in Rail
Vehicles
 Dynamic Braking has been
frequently used in rail vehicles
to reduce brake wear
 Diesel-Electric locomotives
require onboard energy
storage for regeneration
 Some electric rail/overhead
line locomotives with
regenerative braking can send
power back through supply
line
Cars with Regenerative Braking
 Toyota Prius
 Honda Insight
 Ford Escape Hybrid
Toyota Prius
 Tesla Roadster
 Chevy Volt

Benefits of Regen Braking
 Increase of overall energy efficiency of a
vehicle
Increases vehicle range
Cuts down on pollution related to electricity
generation
 Increases the lifespan of friction braking
systems
Less use of traditional mechanical brakes
leads to less wear over time
