Solar generator set shock absorber

What are regenerative shock absorbers?

The regenerative shock absorber is divided into four modules: vibration energy capture module, motion conversion module, generator module and electric energy storage module. The random vibration of suspension, caused by certain factors, such as rugged roads and speed variation, acts on the vibration energy capture module.

What is energy regenerative shock absorber (Ersa)?

In this paper, a new energy regenerative shock absorber (ERSA) based on a tree-like mechanism is proposed. The vibration energy lost in the suspension system can be regenerated by the designed ERSA.

Can regenerative shock absorbers transform vibration energy into electrical energy?

Many researchers have designed various regenerative shock absorbers (RSA) to transform vibration energy into electrical energy that can charge electric vehicles’ batteries and power low-wattage devices. The present work focuses on an in-depth summary of rotary, hydraulic, and linear electromagnetic RSA.

How can regenerative shock absorbers improve fuel efficiency?

In theory, by regenerating braking energy, maximum fuel efficiency can be increased by 30%, and efficiency can be further improved by 10% by recovering the vibration energy in suspension systems . Energy regenerative shock absorber (ERSAs) that scavenge vibration energy are considered one of the most promising methods.

Can regenerative shock absorbers power electric vehicles?

The vibration energy from vehicle suspension systems is always wasted in heat and can be utilized for useful purposes. Many researchers have designed various regenerative shock absorbers (RSA) to transform vibration energy into electrical energy that can charge electric vehicles’ batteries and power low-wattage devices.

Can shock absorbers be used for energy harvesting and vehicle dynamics?

In the literature, researchers performed analyses of energy harvesting and vehicle dynamics by replacing conventional shock absorbers with RSA. The RSA can be installed for energy regeneration in all on-road vehicles; however, the amount of energy harvested depends on road conditions and vehicles.
