What is the Principle of Tesla's Kinetic Energy Recovery?
1 Answers
The principle of kinetic energy recovery in electric vehicles is to convert the motor into a generator, recovering the energy generated during braking and storing it in the high-voltage battery. More information about the kinetic energy recovery system is as follows: 1. Performance: During normal driving, a car inevitably needs to decelerate. At this time, the engine's power output is paused, and an additional resistance load is added to consume the vehicle's forward inertia. This resistance load device is the brake. During braking, the vehicle's forward inertia works on the brake, converting it into heat energy of the friction pads, which is irreversibly dissipated. The current basic solution principle is to store the vehicle's forward inertia using a device or equipment for reuse when needed. This device is the kinetic energy recovery system. 2. Introduction: The kinetic energy recovery system is a technology used by FIA in Formula 1 racing cars, abbreviated as KERS. A typical kinetic energy recovery system integrates battery control components through the ECU to control the engine and the kinetic energy recovery system. When collecting energy, the engine and motor installed in the car act as generators, switching to motor mode when releasing energy. The lithium battery in the car is used to store the electrical energy collected by the engine, while the multifunction steering wheel has an acceleration button to control the duration of energy release.
