Hybrid Smart Braking for Solar and Regenerative Energy Recovery: An Integrated Approach to Intelligent Braking, Utilization, Recovery

Smart Braking System with Solar and Regenerative Energy Support presents the principles, design, development, and applications of an intelligent braking system that combines conventional braking, regenerative energy recovery, and solar energy utilization. The book explains how braking energy normally lost as heat can be recovered and converted into electrical energy for storage and reuse. It also discusses solar-assisted battery charging, energy management, braking control strategies, sensors, electric motors, battery systems, and electronic control units.The book provides a systematic understanding of the integration of mechanical, electrical, and renewable-energy technologies in modern vehicles. Emphasis is placed on improving energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption and emissions, extending battery life, and enhancing braking performance and safety. The concepts are supported through system architecture, component descriptions, design methodologies, practical examples, and potential applications in electric and hybrid vehicles.
