Abstract:

The partial recovery of kinetic energy during braking allows the vehicle’s battery to be
additionally charged and thus extends the range of an electric vehicle. Because of the different
operating strategies of the braking energy recovery system, it is important to understand the factors
influencing the level of recovered energy. The driving conditions at the place of use have a direct
impact on the energy efficiency of an electric vehicle. The purpose of this paper was to analyze
the energy recovered during braking in different driving conditions. The tests were based on the
parameters of actual trips made along urban and suburban routes, and express roads. The collected
actual speed profiles were used for the simulation studies. AVL cruise vehicle simulation software
was used in the study. Simulation tests revealed that the levels of energy recovered during braking
in an electric vehicle were the highest in urban conditions. The amount of energy recovered during
urban driving can account for 20% of the total trip energy. In driving conditions characterized by
different intensities caused by trips at different times of the day, similar values of recovered energy
were recorded. When driving in the afternoon hours, the level of recovered energy per 1 km was
about 2% lower than when driving in rush hour conditions. From the results presented in this paper,
it can be concluded that driving conditions have an impact on the level of recovered energy. The type
of road on which the electric vehicle drives is particularly important.
