Abstract
The regenerative braking system in electric vehicles is an advanced energy recovery technology that enhances overall efficiency by converting kinetic energy, typically lost during braking, into electrical energy for battery storage. Unlike conventional friction-based braking systems that dissipate energy as heat, the proposed design employs a DC motor operating in dual mode—acting as a motor during propulsion and as a generator during deceleration. The recovered electrical energy is conditioned through power electronic components such as rectifiers, MOSFET-based control circuits, and DC-DC converters to ensure stable voltage regulation and safe battery charging. This approach not only improves vehicle energy utilization and extends driving range but also minimizes mechanical wear, reduces maintenance costs, and supports sustainable transportation. By optimizing energy conversion and storage, the system contributes significantly to the development of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient electric mobility solutions
