Inventor(s) include Gajbhiye, Aditi; Kale, Avanti; Khubalkar, Swapnil; and Nangrani, Sunil.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is related to a regenerative braking system designed to recover and utilize kinetic energy in electric vehicles, addressing challenges in driving range and energy efficiency. The hardware setup incorporates an AC to DC adapter, boost converter circuit (101), and a control mechanism with toggle switches for optimal power flow. A toroidal core inductor is employed for enhanced efficiency, minimizing magnetic flux escape and improving coupling. A PIC microcontroller controls the system, providing firing pulses to a MOSFET for precise operation. The prototype demonstrates regenerative braking, converting deceleration energy into usable electricity and visibly showcasing the concept through an LED. This innovation contributes to sustainable transportation by reducing emissions, enhancing braking efficiency, and educating on regenerative energy principles. The regenerative braking system's scalability from a 12V unit to real-time electric vehicles (360V) underscores its potential impact on advancing green energy solutions in the electric vehicle sector."
