Abstract
Regeneration in electric vehicles has been promoted for energy recovery, reduced wear on mechanical brakes, reduced heating of on-board braking resistors, and increased range of energy-storage vehicles. This paper reviews the purposes, methods, and advantages of regeneration for such electric vehicles as locomotives, multiple-unit cars, subway cars, light rail vehicles, PRTs, and energy-storage vehicles.
