Regenerative braking
There are a number of regenerative braking system designs, and all of the major braking
system manufacturers now have products available. Continental uses a conventional ESC
unit allowing the Regenerative Brake System to perform all the usual braking
interventions and stability functions (e.g., ABS, EBV, TCS, ESC, BAS, OHB‐V and ACC).
The company’s ESC Hybrid is based on a standard hydraulic brake system. The only
additional component required is a brake pedal position sensor. When the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the driver activates the hydraulic brake. Simultaneously, the
pedal position sensor measures the brake pedal stroke. The brake HECU converts the
brake pedal stroke into a deceleration torque and commands an electric generator to
achieve the torque. In essence, the driver simultaneously activates the conventional
hydraulic brake and the electric generator based brake. The recuperation focuses on the
dominant vehicle deceleration range (< 0.1g).
The driver compensates the decreasing generator torque at low vehicle speed. To increase
the recuperation efficiency, the effect of the hydraulic brake is deferred to a higher brake
pedal stroke using a hydraulic gap (also called eGap) in the brake HECU. The hydraulic
gap takes advantage of the already existing valves in the brake HECU.
