REGENRATIVE AND BREAKING SYSTEM
Submitted in the partial fulfillment of the requirement for the
award of

Diploma of Technology

AT

RIMT POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE, MANDI GOBINDGARH

Objective & Introduction:

The main objective of this project is to
build a unique kind of algorithm to
achieve a new kind of approachability
in the field of mechanical. Electricity
generation using breaking system is
one of the most technical methods to
generate the electricity. In this project
we will use motor assembly which will
helps the wheel for rotation. When we
press the breaking assembly then this
assembly will start their work and this
will rotate the dynamo shaft and tyre
will be stop. We will attached the leds
with dynamo and led will be glow.

About Regenerative and breaking

system in world

A brake is a tool that enables in deceleration of

a moving object; they use friction to convert
kinetic energy into heat. Conventional braking
systems use this mechanism. Once the brake
pads rub against the wheels of the car,
excessive heat energy is produced. The heat
generated is lost into the air nearly accounting
for about 30% of the cars generated power. The
project here Regenerative Braking System
Project For Mechanical Students introduces
a different braking technology.
The driving system of the vehicle is responsible
for most of the braking process. As soon as the
driver steps onto the brake pedal of the vehicle
(either hybrid or electrical), the brakes put the
vehicles motor in the reverse mode enabling it
to run backwards causing the wheels to slow
down. While in the reverse mode, the motor
operates as an electric generator feeding this
electricity into the vehicles batteries.

ABOUT REGERATE AND BREAK

Aregenerative brakeis anenergy recovery
mechanism which slows a vehicle or object by
converting itskinetic energyinto a form which
can be either used immediately or stored until
needed. This contrasts with conventional
braking systems, where the excess kinetic
energy is converted to unwanted and wasted
heat by friction in thebrakes. In addition to
improving the overall efficiency of the vehicle,
regeneration can greatly extend the life of the
braking system as its parts do not wear as
quickly.
The most common form of regenerative brake
involves
anelectric motoras
an
electric
generator. In electricrailwaysthe electricity so
generated is fed back into thesupply system. In
battery electricandhybrid electricvehicles, the
energy is stored chemically in abattery,
electrically in a bank ofcapacitors, or
mechanically
in
a
rotatingflywheel.
Hydraulic hybridvehicles use hydraulic motors
to store energy in the form ofcompressed air.

Practical regenerative braking

Regenerative braking is not by itself sufficient as the sole means of safely
bringing a vehicle to a standstill, or slowing it as required; it must be used
in conjunction withfriction-based braking.
The regenerative braking effect drops off at lower speeds, and cannot bring a
vehicle to a complete halt reasonably quickly.
A regenerative brake does not immobilise a stationary vehicle;
physical lockingis required, for example to prevent vehicles from rolling
down hills.
Many road vehicles with regenerative braking do not have drive motors on all
wheels (as in atwo-wheel drivecar); regenerative braking is normally only
applicable to wheels with motors. For safety, the ability to brake all
wheels is required.
The regenerative braking effect available is limited, and insufficient in many
cases, particularly in emergency situations.
The friction brake is a necessary back-up in the event of failure of the
regenerative brake.
Regenerative and friction braking must both be used, creating the need to
control them to produce the required total braking. The GMEV-1was the
first commercial car to do this. In 1997 and 1998 engineers Abraham Farag
and Loren Majersik were issued two patents for thisbrake-by-wire
technology.

FUTURE SCOPE
It can be implemented at metropolitan
cities. So that more electric power is
produced. Arrangement of whole setup is
easier. The stored electricity could satisfy
the daily requirement of electric power.

Uses:
Charging batteries and
using them to light up
vehicle, etc.
Such
speed breakers can be
designed
for
heavy
vehicles,
thus
increasing input torque
and ultimately output of
generator.
More
suitable and compact
mechanisms to enhance
efficiency.

Conclusion
In this projectRegenerative
Braking
system,the
regenerative brake captures
about half of the energy wasted
and is utilized by the engine
whereas
in
conventional
brakes, 80% energy is wasted.
Hence fuel consumption is
reduced by 10 to 25 percent in
regenerative braking. Not only
this, speed of the vehicle is also
greatly
enhanced
by
this
mechanism of braking.
