Design and Analysis of Kinetic Energy Recovery System in Green Energy Vehicle

Deepak Yadav, Priyal. R. Sawarkar

Abstract: Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is a system for recovering the moving vehicles kinetic energy under braking and use it for accelerating the vehicle. When riding bicycle, muscular energy through peddling is converted into kinetic energy, during braking this kinetic energy is lost. We are recovering this kinetic energy by using Motor Generator Unit (MGU), which engage with the driving wheel during braking and generate power which can be stored in power banks. This energy can be reuse to boost our vehicle. In this way we can save the energy which was prior wasted in braking. This can be implement in bicycles, two/four wheelers motor vehicles.
