Very rapid development of the automotive industry forces designers to implement new solutions. One of them is the construction of braking systems, which can enable the recovery of part of the energy lost during the braking process in hybrid vehicles. The article presents the basic types of hybrid drives currently used in motor vehicles. The principle of operation of the mechanical and electrical energy recovery system had been discussed, and the vehicles in which such solutions had been applied were indicated.

This article provides the design of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System designed for Effi-Cycle 2012 competition conducted by the Society of Automotive Engineers, North India Section in Chandigarh, India. This hybrid tricycle has the capability to be driven by 2 humans simultaneously and also by a 400W BLDC motor. The tri-cycle won the Overall First, Best Acceleration and First Runner-up in the Endurance awards. A Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), also known as regenerative braking system, is inbuilt into it in order to harness the energy lost during braking. The Regenerative Braking system used in Effi-cycle makes use of an electronic energy efficient converter to store energy regenerated from the motor during braking, in the form of electrical energy. The system monitors the effective voltage at the BLDC motor driver outputs and calculates the required control algorithms to drive the converter and recover the maximum energy at any point. Microcontrollers are used to monitor the performance of the entire system by tabulating and analysing the different sensor values.

Braking Energy Recovery

In order to increase the regenerative braking energy recovery and the dynamic performance of vehicle start and acceleration in the stage of brake, the hydraulic braking energy recovery system was used with the storage battery braking energy recovery system after comparing kinds of regenerative braking recovery plan and energy storage method. The system was used to do simulation and analysis in vehicle dynamic performance and energy recovery efficiency under the PID control and ECE-15 cycle. The system simulation and analysis results show that using hydraulic regenerative braking system in pure electric vehicle can significantly improve the ability of vehicle’s start-acceleration and the increase in vehicle driving range of around 28%.
