Integration and performance of regenerative braking and energy recovery technologies in vehicles

Abstract: In the quest to meet ever-tightening regulation on vehicle emissions, one option available to designers in the technology ‘toolbag’ is regenerative braking. With the increasing hybridisation of vehicles, regenerative braking is often a free addition. This chapter explores the issues involved with the design of regenerative braking, how multiple brake systems interact together on a single vehicle, the regulation applying to production vehicles, and the various ways that regenerative braking may be implemented. A case study is undertaken using data from a common hybrid production vehicle to highlight these concepts.
