English Dictionary

regenerative braking

名詞

不可算名詞

(rail transport, automotive, electrical engineering) A form of braking used on some electric vehicles in conjunction with the main braking system, where kinetic energy from braking is converted into electricity and fed back into the power supply by using the traction motors as generators.

日本語の意味

回生ブレーキ：電気自動車や鉄道車両などで使用されるブレーキ方式で、減速時の運動エネルギーを電気エネルギーに変換し、その電力を再利用するシステム

The train's regenerative braking reduced overall energy consumption by returning power to the grid during deceleration.

その列車の回生ブレーキは、減速時に運動エネルギーを電力に変換して系統へ戻すことで、総エネルギー消費を削減した。

(rail transport, automotive, electrical engineering) A form of braking used on some electric vehicles in conjunction with the main braking system, where kinetic energy from braking is converted into electricity and fed back into the power supply by using the traction motors as generators.

Regenerative braking, whereby the car's kinetic energy is fed back to the supply line, has recently been introduced on the Kei-Han-Shin Kyuko Railway's commuter services feeding Osaka, instead of resistor braking, and on 52 lightweight cars built in 1960 and 1961 advantage has been taken of this feature to install constant speed controls.
