Paper Title
Design of Regenerative Brake Test Rig
Abstract
This paper discusses about design of regenerative brake test rig for three-wheeler with the use of kinetic energy
recovery principle. Paper also discusses in detail about steps carried out in designing test rig. This paper is divided into three
parts designs of flywheel, coupling device and cone clutch. Flywheel is used for kinetic energy recovery since it has long life
and high energy density as well as maximum power output. For flywheel design new electric power train vehicle standards
are used. For transmission of power from motor to rear axle chain drive is used since it has positive drive and higher
efficiency. For engagement and disengagement of flywheel cone clutch is used. After theoretical design calculations all the
results are cross checkedand give proposed test setup.
