Regenerative Braking

Flywheel energy storage regenerative braking system

In the 1970s and 1980s, researchers began exploring the potential of flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) for regenerative braking in vehicles. Early prototypes demonstrated the ability to capture and store kinetic energy during deceleration, which could then be used to assist. . rgy recovery, storage and release system developed at the author's laboratory. However, the concept of regenerative braking using. . The system presented in this paper allows the direct transfer of kinetic energy of a vehicle's mo-tion to a flywheel and vice-versa.
