Energy Recovery Hybrid System with the Flywheel

The coupling of drive units of electric and hybrid vehicles with flywheel-based kinetic energy recovery systems is one of the best suitable options to reduce fuel energy usage. It is also a convenient method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by the way. The essence of the work is to design a hybrid traction system cooperating with a flywheel that collects kinetic energy during vehicle braking. The proposed solution characterizes higher efficiency than known and used regenerative braking systems for energy recovery.
