Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained popularity as a solution to the fossil fuel crisis and carbon emissions. However, limited range due to battery constraints has been a major obstacle to widespread adoption. Battery management strategies, fast charging, and strategic charging station placement are some of the solutions being explored to address this issue. Another solution is to harness energy from the shock absorbers, which are responsible for filtering vehicle vibrations on rough roads. Research has been conducted since the 1980s on harnessing energy from shock absorbers, and REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBERS have been proposed as a way to harvest the kinetic energy dissipated by suspension vibrations. Studies have shown that REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBERS can produce up to 400W of power at 100 km/h, and can improve the energy harvesting and ride comfort of regenerative vehicle suspensions. Some studies have used electromagnetic methods to generate electric power, while others have used hydraulic methods. The use of regenerative shock absorbers in EVs is a promising solution that has the potential to significantly extend the range of these vehicles. KEYWORDS: Regenerative shock absorber; vehicle suspension; vehicle kinetic energy recovery.
