Abstract: A detailed study of a reliable and effective regenerative braking system is presented in this paper. The hour of need is to conserve energy. In the case of electric vehicles, energy conservation can be accomplished with the use of regenerative braking systems (RBS). A large amount of kinetic energy is lost while driving a car, brakes are applied, making the start-up very power-consuming. In this paper, a way to use kinetic energy by regenerative braking has been explored and suggested, which is typically lost by either converting it into mechanical energy or electrical energy. Regenerative braking transforms much of the energy that can be retained for future use into electrical energy. Many cases of braking include driving a car, leading to higher losses of energy, with higher potential savings. In addition, it is possible to integrate an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and a traction control system (TCS), as a motor can produce torques of acceleration or deceleration. The position of the distributed motor will improve the performance of Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) such as Direct Yaw Control (DYC). The torque of the motor can be easily measured. The objective of this project is to investigate this new type of braking system that can absorb much of the electric vehicle's kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy. Regenerative braking converts a fraction of total kinetic energy into mechanical or electrical energy, but with further study and research in the near future it can play a vital role in saving non-renewable energy sources.
