I am just curious, but what is the average efficiency of Regenerative braking? As in... How much of the kinetic energy are they able to convert back to electrical?
The average efficiency of regenerative braking systems is estimated to be 31.3%. This efficiency is influenced by several factors, including the state of charge of the battery, the number of wheels utilizing the regenerative braking system, and the system's topology, whether parallel or serial. Understanding these variables is crucial for optimizing the performance of regenerative braking in electric and hybrid vehicles.
PREREQUISITESAutomotive engineers, electric vehicle designers, and researchers focused on improving energy efficiency in hybrid and electric vehicles.
Engineering.Wikia.com said:It is estimated that regenerative braking systems currently see 31.3% efficiency; however, the actual efficiency depends on numerous factors, such as the state of charge of the battery, how many wheels are equipped to use the regenerative braking system, and whether the topology used is parallel or serial in nature.
