RETARDERS
The exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve. This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding the vehicle.
Diesel engines regulate power output purely by the volume and timing of fuel injected into the combustion chambers.
Electric retarders use electromagnetic induction to provide a retardation force.
When retardation is required, the electrical windings in the stator receive power from the vehicle battery, producing a magnetic field through which the rotor moves. This induces eddy currents in the rotor, which produces an opposing magnetic field to the stator. The opposing magnetic fields slows the rotor, and hence the axle, transmission or driveshaft to which it is attached.
The capacitor provides the exciting current required by the induction generator, and the induction generator charges the capacitor to increase the terminal voltage. An increase in the capacitor voltage increases the exciting current to the induction generator. In this manner, the voltage buildup continues until the magnetizing inductance decreases to its saturated value and an equilibrium point is reached
In order to obtain a stable output voltage, the machine must operate at an appropriate level of magnetic saturation. Accordingly, the magnetizing reactance X, is not constant, but varies with the load and circuit conditions. For successful voltage build-up, the load-capacitance Combination should result in a value of X,, which is less than the unsaturated value, hence the capacitance below which the SEIG fails to self-excite.
Conventional vehicles use frictional braking and dissipate kinetic energy in the form of heat energy into the surroundings
When driver applies brake motor switches to generator mode and converts atleast a portion of K.E to electrical energy
The capacitor provides the exciting current required by the induction generator , and the induction generator charges the capacitor to increase the terminal voltage. An increase in the capacitor voltage increases the exciting current to the induction generator. In this manner, the voltage buildup continues until the magnetizing inductance decreases to its saturated value and an equilibrium point is reached. Once the voltage has built up, a load can be connected to the SEIG. In an SEIG that operates without a load, the stator and capacitor currents are equal. However, in a loaded SEIG, the stator current is divided into the capacitor and load currents . This process means a decrease in the capacitor current ,which is the exciting current, and thus, the induced voltage and braking torque decrease. Therefore, a load-current control strategy, which is the same as a voltage control, can be applied to this system to control the braking torque
The switch is turned on when the induced voltage is higher than a reference voltage, which results in the decrease in the induced voltage. On the other hand, the switch is turned off when the induced voltage is smaller than the reference voltage, which results in the increase in the induced voltage due to self-excitation.
