Regenerative Braking Testbed for Electric Vehicles with Supercapacitor Storage
Dual motor-generator dyno recovering kinetic braking energy into a high-rate supercapacitor bank with bidirectional buck-boost converter.
Project Overview
Simulates EV stop-and-go driving cycles. A driving DC motor spins a flywheeled generator; upon braking, the kinetic energy is captured via a bidirectional converter and redirected to a 58F supercapacitor bank, demonstrating up to 25% energy recovery efficiency.
