MOTIVATION/BACKGROUND:
• Regenerative braking deals with the energy problem
occurred in the motors of automobiles. As brakes are
applied to stop the motor some energy is released as
dissipated energy.
• To overcome this issue regenerative braking was
introduced.
• It is based on the mechanism which stores the
dissipated energy then boosts for utilization purpose.

INTRODUCTION/ABSTRACT/OVERVIEW:
• Presently what the world needs is a method or a technology that saves
energy from getting wasted..
• When driving any motor, a great amount of kinetic energy is wasted
when conventional brakes are applied.
• The main aim of this work was to develop a product that stores the
energy which is normally lost during braking, and reuses it.
• The use of regenerative braking system in motors provides us the
means to balance the kinetic energy of the machine to some extent
which is lost during the process of braking.

DESCRIPTION/METHODOLOGY:
• The power supply is made to convert alternating current
(AC) into direct current (DC).
• Manual boost regulator is made for testing purpose.
• Arduino programming for boost regulation.
• Then load is connected in the end.
