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...

Regenerative braking systems are an efficient way to increase the energy efficiency of electric rail vehicles. During development phase, testing a regenerative system in vehicle is costly and potentially dangerous. For this reason, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation useful technique conduct system’s real time where physical parts replaced by models. This paper presents HIL tram performed on ...

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...

In the context of global energy instability caused by transformation demand for and resources, one most important areas in automotive industry is development electric vehicles. Serial production high-tech vehicles with a long range contributes to stabilization market sustainable whole fuel-energy sector. To evaluate possibility optimizing consumption, various regenerative braking strategies are...
