Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS)
The acronym KERS stands for Kinetic Energy Recovery System. KERS is a system for recovering the moving vehicle’s kinetic energy under braking and also converting the usual loss in kinetic energy into gain in kinetic energy.
Basically, its working principle involves storing the energy involved with deceleration and using it for acceleration. That is, when a car breaks, it dissipates a lot of kinetic energy as heat. The KERS stores this energy and converts this into power, Up to 80 BHP for 6.67 sec or 400 KJ of energy can be stored. There are different types of devices and forms in which the Kinetic Energy lost while braking can be stored. They are:
- Mechanical KERS
- Electric KERS
- Hydraulic KERS
- Hydro-electric KERS (HESS)
