Abstract : Regenerative braking systems have emerged as a pivotal technology in the realm of transportation, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicles. This innovation transforms the conventional process of braking by harnessing and repurposing kinetic energy that is traditionally dissipated as heat. Through the integration of specialized electric motors acting as generators, the kinetic energy during deceleration is converted into electrical energy. This surplus energy is then stored in on-board batteries or other energy storage systems, offering a sustainable means of enhancing overall vehicle efficiency. This abstract provides an overview of the fundamental principles underlying regenerative braking systems, highlighting their role in increasing energy efficiency, reducing brake wear, and extending the driving range of electric vehicles. The paper delves into the mechanics of regenerative braking, exploring how the technology functions and its impact on traditional braking systems. Furthermore, the abstract underscores the environmental benefits of regenerative braking, contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable transportation solutions. As the automotive industry continues to evolve towards greener practices, regenerative braking systems stand as a key enabler in the pursuit of energy conservation and reduced carbon emissions.
