What is the Principle of Kinetic Energy Recovery?
1 Answers
The principle of kinetic energy recovery is to convert the electric motor into a generator, recovering the energy generated during braking and storing it in a high-voltage battery. Kinetic Energy Recovery System: During normal driving, it is inevitable for a car to need to decelerate. At this time, the engine's power output is paused, and an additional resistance load is added to consume the inertia of the car's continued forward motion. This resistance load device is the brake. During braking, the car's forward inertia works on the vehicle's brake, converting it into heat energy of the friction pads, which is irreversibly lost. The current basic solution principle is to store the car's forward inertia using a device or equipment and reuse it when needed. This device is the kinetic energy recovery system. Principle of Kinetic Energy Recovery System: The kinetic energy recovery system is a technology used by FIA in F1 racing cars, abbreviated as KERS in English. Its principle is to recover the vehicle's braking energy through certain technical means and release it as auxiliary braking force during the car's acceleration process. The working principle of a general kinetic energy recovery system is as follows: through the ECU integrating battery control components, it controls the engine and the kinetic energy recovery system. The engine and motor installed on the car act as generators when collecting energy and switch to motor mode when releasing energy. The lithium battery on the car is used to store the electrical energy collected by the engine, and the multifunction steering wheel has an acceleration button to control the duration of energy release.
