A simple model to predict fuel saving benefits with brake energy recovery methods of conventional vehicle regenerative braking system

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a simple user defined model for predicting the fuel saving benefits with brake energy recovery methods of a conventional vehicle. The need of detailed input to be described for the expensive commercial tools are avoided by the proposed simulator. The simulator developed in the paper is employed to predict fuel economy with Fig. 3 EMAS & Fig. 4 RMAS whose models are simulated and experimentally verified. With EMAS fuel saving benefits is found to be 1.4% while with RMAS it is 2.82% for the standard Fig. 6 NEDC considered in the present study.
