Regenerative braking
braking process back into the system in the form of charging the battery for further use
y In a regenerative braking system the energy normally lost in the
braking process is transferred to the generator from the rotating axel and then transferred to the battery, thus saving energy
motors use the motor as a generator when using regenerative braking: it is operated as a generator during braking and its output is supplied to an electrical load; the transfer of energy to the load provides the braking effect.
y Many modern hybrid and
electric vehicles use this technique to extend the range of the battery pack.

y When the driver brakes most of the kinetic energy is still converted to
heat energy but a portion is treated differently and is stored up in the car.

Reduction in pollution
Railway vehicle The Delhi Metro saved around 90,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from being released into the atmosphere by regenerating 112,500 megawatt hours of electricity through the use of regenerative braking systems
Wear Reduction
An electric drive train also allows for regenerative breaking which increases Efficiency and reduces wear on the vehicle brakes.
friction brake is still required in order to bring the vehicle to a complete halt.
y The friction brake is a necessary back-up in the event of failure of the
regenerative brake.
y Most road vehicles with regenerative braking only have power on some
wheels (as in a 2WD car) and regenerative braking power only applies to such wheels, so in order to provide controlled braking under difficult conditions (such as in wet roads) friction based braking is necessary on the other wheels
Conclusion
The energy efficiency of a conventional brake is only about 20 percent, with the remaining 80 percent of its energy being converted to heat through friction. The miraculous thing about regenerative braking is that it may be able to capture as much as half of that wasted energy and put it back to work. This reduces fuel consumption by 10 to 25 percent. Hence regenerative braking plays an important role in fuel consumption and also in the field of speed
