FLYWHEEL BASED REGENERATIVE BREAKING SYSTEM

Abstract

In the present scenario, energy crisis is one of the major challenges to the existing world. The fossil-fuel resources are being depleted at a tremendous rate due to their disproportionate consumption. This has put forth the widespread assumption that if resources are being used at current rate, the time is no longer when all our resources will expire. Thus there is a need to develop the technology that saves the energy from getting wasted. In case of automobiles, energy recuperation can be done by introducing Regenerative braking system. Whenever the brakes are applied, a significant amount of kinetic energy gets wasted in the form of heat energy as a result of friction between brake pads and rotor. Regenerative Braking System recovers kinetic energy as much as possible that is lost during the process of braking. It stores that energy and releases it under acceleration. This paper highlights the two different methods of recovering energy that generally gets wasted, by converting it into either electrical or mechanical energy. The kinetic energy gets converted into electrical energy with the help of flywheel.
