Basics of Regenerative Braking

Basics of Regenerative Braking: * In Regenerative braking, the motor operates as a generator, while it is still connected to the supply, here N>Ns. * Mechanical energy is converted into energy, part of which is returned to the supply & rest of the energy is last as heat in wdg & bearings. * Most of electrical m/c pass smoothing f rom motoring region to generating region, when over driven by the load. * Here electric motor is drawing a trotley bus in the uphill & downhill direction. T he gravity f orce can be resolved into 2 components in the uphill direction. One is perpendicular to load surf ace F & another one is parallel to the road surf ace Fl. T he parallel f orce pulls the motor towards the bottom of the hill. * If we neglect the rotational losses, the motor must produce a f orce Fm opposite to Fl, to move the bus in the uphill direction. T his operation is in I quadrant. Here motor torque is motor speed in same direction. But T L is opp to T m . T he power f low f rom motor to mech. Load. * Now consider same bus to travelling downhill. T he gravitational f orce does not change its torque direction, but load torque pushed the motor toward the bottom of the hill. T he motor produces a torque in the reverse direction because of the direction of the motor torque always opposite to the direction of the load torque. * Here rotation of the motor is still in the same direction on both sides of the hill. T his operation in the second quadrant. T his is known as regenerative braking. In this regenerative braking mode, motor torque & speed are in the opposite direction. T L is opposite to T m . T he energy is exchange under regenerative braking operation is power f lows f rom mechanical load to source. Hence the load is driving the m/c and the m/c is generating electric power that is returned to the supply. Regenerative braking of Induction Motor:An induction motor is subjected to regenerative braking, if the rotor rotates in same directions as that of stator magnetic f ield, by N>NS. * Such a state occurs during any one of the f ollowing processes. i) Downward motion of a loaded hoisting mechanism.

i) Downward motion of a loaded hoisting mechanism. ii) If variable f req is available or if the motor is of pole change type. * Under regenerative braking mode , the m / c acts as an induction generator and this power f ed back to the supply. T he m/c taking only the reactive power f or excitation. * If active load is present, motor speed > Ns and regenerative braking may be obtained. In this case, slip and torque developed become -ve. * Here Regenerative max torque > max motor torque. Regenerative braking of DC Motor : In regenerative braking , generated energy is supplied to the source, the condition is E>V and Ia ---(1) Fild f lux increases not beyond rated because saturation. In series motor, as N increases Armature current , f lux decreases so (1) not achieved. T hus braking possible.
