SYNOPSIS

1. TITLE OF THE SEMINAR: REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM 2. APPROACH: Vehicles driven by electric motors use the motor as a generator when using regenerative braking: it is operated as a generator during braking and its output is supplied to an electrical load; the transfer of energy to the load provides the braking effect. 3. RESULTS: The energy efficiency of a conventional brake is only about 20 percent, with the remaining 80 percent of its energy being converted to heat through friction. The miraculous thing about regenerative braking is that it may be able to capture as much as half of that wasted energy and put it back to work. This reduces fuel consumption by 10 to 25 percent. Hence regenerative braking plays an important role in fuel consumption and also in the field of speed. 4. ABSTRACT: Every time you step on your cars brake, youre wasting energy. Physics tells us that energy cannot be destroyed. When your car slows down, the kinetic energy that was propelling it forward has to go somewhere. A regenerative brake is a mechanism that reduces vehicle speed by converting some of its kinetic energy into useful form of energy. This captured energy is then stored for future use or fed back into power system for use of other vehicles.
