Regenerative braking is a well-known technology applied in electric vehicles to achieve high energy efficiency through an energy-recovery mechanism. The same concept has been robotic applications, such as legged robots, lower-limb prostheses, and biomechanical harvesters. In particular, harvester enables humans generate watts of power while simultaneously assisting the human joints during walki...

Currently bicycle-sized motor speed controllers do not utilize regenerative braking techniques that can greatly increase battery life and range. The objective of this research project is to design, implement and test a regenerative motor controller. The most intensive research will address the design of a three-phase synchronous regenerative motor controller. The experimentation involved will b...

Abstract: With its large capacity, the total urban rail transit energy consumption is very high; thus, energy saving operations are quite meaningful. The effective use of regenerative braking energy is the mainstream method for improving the efficiency of energy saving. This paper examines the optimization of train dwell time and builds a multiple train operation model for energy conservation o...

C This paper provides a design outline and implementation procedure for a Secondary Energy Storage Unit (SESU) that can be used to meet the peak energy requirements of an electric vehicle during both acceleration and regenerative braking. The life cycle of the electric vehicle’s batteries can be extended considerably by supplying peak energy requirements from a secondary source. A simulation st...
