ABSTRACT
As the basic law of Physics says ‘energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only
be converted from one form to another’. During huge amount of energy is lost to atmosphere
as heat. It will be good if we could store this energy somehow which is otherwise getting
wasted out and reuse it next time we started to accelerate. Regenerative braking refers to a
system in which the kinetic energy of the vehicle is stored temporarily, as an accumulative
energy, during deceleration, and is reused as kinetic energy during acceleration or running.
Regenerative braking is a small, yet very important, step toward our eventual independence
from fossil fuels. These kinds of brakes allow batteries to be used for longer periods of time
without the need to be plugged into an external charger. These types of brakes also extend
the driving range of fully electric vehicles. Regenerative braking is a way to extend range of
the electric vehicles. In many hybrid vehicles cases, this system is also applied hybrid
vehicles to improve fuel economy.
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
A Traditional Braking System, brake pads produce friction is produced between the slowed
wheels and the surface of the road. This friction is what turns the car’s kinetic energy into
heat.
A regenerative Brake is an energy recovery mechanism which slows a vehicle or object down
by converting its kinetic energy into another from, which can be either used immediately or
stored until needed.
2. DYNAMIC BRAKING
3. REGENERATIVE BRAKING
Another braking is plugging type braking. In this method the terminals of supply
are reversed, as a result the generator torque also reverses which resists the normal
rotation of the motor and as a result the speed decreases. During plugging external
resistance is also introduced into the circuit to limit the flowing current. The main
disadvantage of this method is that here power is wasted.
DYNAMIC BRAKING
Another method of reversing the direction of torque and braking the motor is dynamic
braking. In this method of braking the motor which is at a running condition is
disconnected from the source and connected across a resistance. When the motor is
disconnected from the source, the rotor keeps rotating due to inertia and it work as
self-excited generator. When the motor works as a generator the flow of the current
and torque reverses. During braking to maintain the steady torque sectional resistance
are cut out one by one.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM
Braking method in which the mechanical energy form the load is converted into electric
energy and Regenerated back into the line is shown as Regenerative Braking, The motor
operates as generator
Over a car that only has friction brakes. In low-speed, stop- and-go traffic
where little deceleration is required; the regenerative braking system can provide the
majority of the total braking force. This vastly improves fuel economy with a vehicle,
and further enhances the attractiveness of vehicles using regenerative braking for city
driving.
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. Regenerative braking is used on hybrid gas/electric automobiles to recoup
some of the energy lost during stopping. This energy is saved in a storage battery and
used later to power the motor whenever the car is in electric mode.
Control system used in this system is nothing but braking provided to the
driving wheel. Due to braking on driving wheel, dc motor starts rotate. This energy
stored in energy sink. In energy sink battery, ultra-capacitor, flywheel are used.
There are four elements required which are necessary for the working of
regenerative braking system, these are:
I. High specific energy storage density II. High energy transfer rate
2. A flywheel
3. Compressed air
2.3.2 Batteries:
With this system as we know, the electric motor of a car becomes a generator when the brake
pedal is applied. The kinetic energy of the car is used to generate electricity that is then
used to recharge the batteries. With this system, traditional friction brakes must also be used
to ensure that the car slows down as much as necessary. Thus, not all of the kinetic energy of
the car can be harnessed for the batteries because some of it is "lost" to waste heat. Some
energy is also lost to resistance as the energy travels from the wheel and axle, through the
drive train and electric motor, and into the battery. When the brake pedal is depressed, the
battery receives a higher charge, which slows the vehicle down faster. The further the brake
pedal is depressed, the more the conventional friction brakes are employed. The
motor/generator produces AC, which is converted into DC, which is then used to charge the
Battery Module. So, the regenerative systems must have an electric controller that regulates
how much charge the battery receives and how much the friction brakes are used.
In this system, the translational energy of the vehicle is transferred into rotational energy in
the flywheel, which stores the energy until it is needed to accelerate the vehicle. Benefit of
using flywheel technology is that more of the forward inertial energy of the car can be
captured than in batteries, because the flywheel can be engaged even during relatively short
intervals of braking and acceleration. In the case of batteries, they are not able to accept
charge at these rapid intervals, and thus more energy is lost to friction. Another advantage of
flywheel technology is that the additional power supplied by the flywheel during acceleration
substantially supplements the power output of the small engine that hybrid vehicles are
equipped with.
The energy storage unit requires a transmission that can handle torque and
speed demands in a steeples manner and smoothly control energy flow to and from
the vehicle wheels.
2.3.5 Controller:
An “ON-OFF” engine control system is used. That means that the engine is “ON”
until the energy storage unit has been reached the desired charge capacity and then is
decoupled and stopped until the energy storage unit charge fall below its minimum
requirement.
Brake controllers are electronic devices that can control brakes remotely, deciding
when braking begins ends, and how quickly the brakes need to be applied. During the
braking operation, the brake controller directs the electricity produced by the motor
into the batteries or capacitors. It makes sure that an optimal amount of power is
received by the batteries, but also ensures that the inflow of electricity isn't more than
the batteries can handle. The most important function of the brake controller,
however, may be deciding whether the motor is currently capable of handling the
force necessary for stopping the car. If it isn't, the brake controller turns the job over
to the friction brakes. In vehicles that use these types of brakes, as much as any other
piece of electronics on board a hybrid or electric car, the brake controller makes the
entire regenerative braking process possible.
CHAPTER - 3
When the wheel is in running condition, some gap between motors & wheel.
These two motors are placed on break shaft. So this motors work as a break. Now
wheel is in running condition, but when break is applied, then motors work as break.
Due to this motors start rotating. So, the power is produced in it. Multi meter is
connected with the motors. So the reading is display in multi meter. About 15 voltage
is generated in this system. Motor runs at 500 rpm. We also can store this power in a
battery. We can also use this power in our required application. For Example, we can
use this power in headlight of vehicle.
3.1 COMPONENTS OF REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM
BEARINGS
Bearings permit smooth, low-friction movement between two surfaces. The
movement can be either rotary (a shaft rotating within a mount) or linear (one surface
moving along another).
Bearings can employ either a sliding or a rolling action. Bearings based on rolling
action are called rolling-element bearings. Those based on sliding action are called
plain bearings.
Bearing Materials
Babbitts
Tin and lead-base babbitts are among the most widely used bearing materials.
They have an ability to embed dirt and have excellent compatibility properties under
boundary-lubrication conditions.
Dozens of copper alloys are available as bearing materials. Most of these can be grouped
into four classes: copper-lead, lead-bronze, tin-bronze, and aluminum-bronze.
Aluminum
Aluminum bearing alloys have high wear resistance, load-carrying capacity, fatigue
strength, and thermal conductivity; excellent corrosion resistance; and low cost. They
are used extensively in connecting rods and main bearings in internal-combustion
engines; in hydraulic gear pumps, in oil-well pumping equipment, in roll-neck bearings
in steel mills; and in reciprocating compressors and aircraft equipment.
Porous Metals
Plastics
Many bearings and bushi ngs are being produced in a large variety of plastic materials.
Many require no lubricatio n, and the high strength of modern plastics l ends to a variety
of applications.
PLAIN BEARIN GS
A plain bearing is any bearing that works by sliding action, with or without lubricant.
This group encompasses es sentially all types other than rolling-element bearings.
Plain bearings are of ten referred to as either sleeve bearings or thrust bearings, terms that
designate whether the bearing is loaded radially or axially.
Lubrication is critic al to the operation of plain bearings, so th eir application and function
is also often referred to according to the type of lubrication principle used. Thus,
These are cylindrica l or ring-shaped bearings designed to carry radial loads. The
terms sleeve and journal are used more or less synonymously since sleeve refers to the
general configuration while journal pertains to any portion of a shaft supported by a
bearing. In another sense, however, the term journal may be reserved for two-piece
bearings used to support the journals of an engine crankshaft.
The simplest and most widely used types of sleeve bearings are cast-bronze and
porous-bronze (powdered- metal) cylindrical bearings. Cast-bronze bearings are oil-, or
grease-lubricated. Porous b earings are impregnated with oil and often h ave an oil
reservoir in the housing.
Plastic bearings are b eing used increasingly in place of metal. Ori ginally, plastic
was used only in small, lightly loaded bearings where cost saving were the p rimary
objective.
More recently, plastics a re being used because of functional ad vantages, including
resistance to abrasion, and they are being made in large sizes.
2.3.3THRUST BEARING
This type of bearing differs from a sleeve bearing in that loads are supported
axially rather than radially. Thin, d isk like thrust bearings are called thrust was hers.
Fig.2.15 Thrust Bearing
ANTIFRICTIO N BEARINGS
Ball, roller, and nee dle bearings are classified as antifriction be arings since
friction has been reduced to a minimum. They may be divided into two main groups:
radial bearings and thrust bearin gs. Except for special designs, ball and roller bearings
consist of two rings, a set of rolling elements, and a cage. The cage separates the r olling
elements and spaces them evenly around the periphery (circumference of the circle). The
nomenclature of an antifriction bearing is given in Fig. 2.16.
Company)
BEARING LOADS
Radial Load
Loads acting perpendicular to the axis of the bearing are called radial loads. Although
radial bearings are designed primarily for straight radial service, they will withstand
considerable thrust loads when deep ball tracks in the raceway are used.
Thrust Load
Loads applied parallel to the axis of the bearing are called thrust loads. Thrust bearings
are not designed to carry radial loads.
When loads are exerted both parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the bearings, a
combination radial and thrust bearing is used. See Fig.2.17(C). The load ratings listed in
the manufacturers’ catalogs for this type of bearing are for either pure thrust loads or a
combination of both radial and thrust loads.
BALL BEARINGS
Ball bearings fall roughly into three classes: radial, thrust, and angular-contact.
Angular-contact bearings are used for combined radial and thrust loads and where
precise shaft location is needed. Uses of the other two types are described by their
names: radial bearings for radial loads and thrust bearings for thrust loads. See Fig.
2.3.6.
Radial Bearings
Deep-groove bearings are the most widely used ball bearings. In addition to radial
loads, they can carry substantial thrust loads at high speeds, in either direction. They
require careful alignment between shaft and housing.
Angular-contact thrust bearings can support a heavy thrust load in one direction
combined with a moderate radial load. High shoulders on the inner and outer rings
provide steep contact angles for high thrust capacity and axial rigidity.
Thrust Bearings
ROLLER BEARINGS
The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, needle, tapered, and spherical. In
general, they have higher load capacities than ball bearings of the same size and are
widely used in heavy-duty, moderate-speed applications. However, except for
cylindrical bearings, they have lower speed capabilities than ball bearings. See Fig.
2.3.7.
Cylindrical roller bearings have high radial capacity and provide accurate guidance to
the rollers. Their low friction permits operation at high speed, and thrust loads of some
magnitude can be carried through the flange-roller end contacts.
Needle Bearings
Needle bearings are roller bearings with rollers that have high length-to-diameter
ratios. Compared with other roller bearings, needle bearings have much smaller rollers
for a given bore size.
Caged assemblies are simply a roller complement with a retainer, placed between
two hardened machine elements that act as raceways. Their speed capability is about
3times higher than that of loose-needle bearings, but the smaller complement of needles
reduces load capacity for the caged assemblies.
Thrust bearings are caged bearings with rollers assembled like the spokes of a
wheel in a wafer like retainer.
Tapered Bearings
Tapered roller bearings are widely used in roll-neck applications in rolling mills,
transmissions, gear reducers, geared shafting, steering mechanisms, and machine-tool
spindles. Where speeds are low, grease lubrication suffices, but high speeds demand oil
lubrication, and very high speeds demand special lubricating arrangements.
Spherical Bearings
Single-row bearings are the most widely used tapered roller bearings. They have a
high radial capacity and a thrust capacity about 60 percent of radial capacity.
BEARING SELECTION
Machine designers have a large variety of bearing types and sizes from which to choose.
Each of these types has characteristics, which make it best for a certain application.
Although selection may sometimes present a complex problem requiring considerable
experience, the following considerations are listed to serve as a general guide for
conventional applications.
1. Generally, ball bearings are the less expensive choice in the smaller sizes with
lighter loads, while roller bearings are less expensive for the larger sizes with
heavier loads.
2. Roller bearings are more satisfactory under shock or impact loading than ball
bearings.
4. Ball thrust bearings should be subjected to pure thrust loads only. At high speeds,
am,deep-groove or angular-contact ball bearing will usually be a be tter choice
even for pure thrust loads.
5. Self-aligning ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings have very low friction
coefficients.
6. Deep-groove ball bearings are available with seals built into the bearings so that
the bearing can be pre-lubricated and thus operate for long periods without
attention.
DRILLING
Drilling is the ope ration of producing circular hole in the work-piece by using a
rotating cutter called DRIL L.
The drilling operation can also be accomplished in lathe, in which the drill is
held in tailstock and the work is held by the chuck.

The most common fuel used in welding is acetylene. It has a two stage reaction;
the first stage primary reaction involves the acetylene disassociating in the presence of
oxygen to produce heat, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen gas.
Oxy Fuel welding Gases
Commercial fuel gases have one common property: they all require oxygen to support
combustion. To be suitable for welding operations, a fuel gas, when burned with
oxygen, must have the following:
d. Minimum chemical reaction of the flame with base and filler metals
Among the commercially available fuel gases such as propane, liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG), natural gas, propylene, hydrogen and MAPP gas, “Acetylene” most closely
meets all the above requirements.

BRAKING SYSTEM
4.1 ADVANTAGES
Better fuel economy.
Improved Performance
4.2 LIMITATIONS
It can be discharged and recharge many more times and with far deterioration
than a battery.
The capacitor may take up to about 113s when the load is an minimum about
18A.
2. Regenerative Braking Systems are also used in electric railway vehicle
Jaipur metro uses the regenerative braking system & save 35% of
electricity.
The flywheel absorbs energy when braking via a clutch system slowing the car down and
speeding up the wheel. To accelerate, another clutch system connects the flywheel to the
drive train, speeding up the car and slowing down the flywheel. Energy is therefore
conserved rather than wasted as heat and light which is what normally happens in the
contemporary shoe/disc system.
Wear Reduction:
An electric drive train also allows for regenerative breaking which increases Efficiency and
reduces wear on the vehicle brakes.
In regenerative braking, when the motor is not receiving power from the battery pack, it
resists the turning of the wheels, capturing some of the energy of motion as if it were a
generator and returning that energy to the battery pack. In mechanical brakes; lessening wear
and extending brake life is not possible. This reduces the use of use the brake.
Fuel Consumption:
Conventional brakes apply friction to convert a vehicle’s kinetic energy into heat. In energy
terms, therefore, braking is a total loss: once heat is generated, it is very difficult to reuse.
The regenerative braking system, however, slows a vehicle down in a different way.
6.2 Comparison of Dynamic brakes and Regenerative brakes
Dynamic brakes ("rheostatic brakes" in the UK), unlike regenerative brakes, dissipate the
electric energy as heat by passing the current through large banks of variable resistors.
Vehicles that use dynamic brakes include forklifts, Diesel-electric locomotives, and
streetcars. This heat can be used to warm the vehicle interior, or dissipated externally by
large radiator-like cowls to house the resistor banks.
The main disadvantage of regenerative brakes when compared with dynamic brakes is the
need to closely match the generated current with the supply characteristics and increased
maintenance cost of the lines. With DC supplies, this requires that the voltage be closely
controlled. Only with the development of power electronics has this been possible with AC
supplies, where the supply frequency must also be matched (this mainly applies to
locomotives where an AC supply is rectified for DC motors).
A small number of mountain railways have used 3-phase power supplies and 3- phase
induction motors. This results in a near constant speed for all trains as the motors rotate with
the supply frequency both when motoring and braking.
6.3 Why Regenerative Brakes are assisted with the Frictional Brake??
CONCLUSION
The beginning of the 21st century could very well mark the final period in which internal
combustion engines are commonly used in cars. Already automakers are moving toward
alternative energy carriers, such as electric batteries, hydrogen fuel and even compressed air.
Regenerative braking is a small, yet very important, step toward our eventual independence
from fossil fuels. These kinds of brakes allow batteries to be used for longer periods of time
without the need to be plugged into an external charger. These types of brakes also extend
the driving range of fully electric vehicles. In fact, this technology has already helped bring
us cars like the Tesla Roadster, which runs entirely on battery power. Sure, these cars may
use fossil fuels at the recharging stage -- that is, if the source of the electricity comes from a
fossil fuel such as coal -- but when they're out there on the road, they can operate with no use
of fossil fuels at all, and that's a big step forward. When you think about the energy losses
incurred by battery-electric hybrid systems, it seems plausible to reason that efficient
flywheel hybrids would soon become the norm. But of course it’s not quite so black and
white, and further analysis shows that a combination of battery-electric and flywheel energy
storage is probably the ideal solution for hybrid vehicles.
As designers and engineers perfect regenerative braking systems, they will become more and
more common. All vehicles in motion can benefit from utilizing regeneration to recapture
energy that would otherwise be lost.
