ENERGY STUDY OF REGENERATIVE BRAKING OF E-RICKSHAWS USING BRUSHLESS DC MOTORS
With rising costs of petrol and diesel, Electric Vehicles are becoming popular in cities like Delhi for chartered vehicles such as the E-Rickshaw. This paper studies the energy that can be regenerated from such an E-Rickshaw during normal operation. The paper was written in 2017 while I was interning at an E-Rickshaw factory, GreenRick. The mathematical model developed in the paper was used to calculate the energy produced in braking operations at various speeds by recording initial velocity and time taken to come to a stop.
