Importance of Brake…..
At the time of purchasing vehicle we concern with Speed, average, design, C.C, etc. but no one look for brakes…
It has equal importance like others….
Requirements of good braking system
It Should stop the vehicle in shortest distance and time.
It Should have less wearing parts.
It Should required less maintenance.
It Should be minimum sound when applied.
Losses during Braking…
Every time you step on your car's brake , you're wasting energy. Physics tells us that energy can not be destroyed. So when your car slows down, the kinetic energy that was propelling it forward has to go somewhere. Most of it simply dissipates as heat and becomes useless.
What is regenerative braking..?
Braking method in which the mechanical energy from the load is converted into electric energy and regenerated back into the line is known as Regenerative Braking.
This type of system is only useful in Hybrid vehicle or fully electric cars.
CONCLUSION
Theoretical investigations of a regenerative braking system show about 25% saving in fuel consumption.
The lower operating and environment costs of a vehicle with regenerative braking system should make it more attractive than a conventional one. The traditional cost of the system could be recovered in the few years only.
The exhaust emission of vehicle using the regenerative braking concept would be much less than equivalent conventional vehicles as less fuel are used for consumption.
These systems are particularly suitable in developing countries such as India where buses are the preferred means of transportation within the cities.
