The present invention relates to a regenerative braking and
power generation system for a trailer that is capable of self-generating the
electricity required by the trailer by providing a generator in a
brake disc space of the trailer, and includes at least one axle (3) fixed to the trailer
chassis (2), a wheel hub (5) and / or a
brake disc (6) that is axially mounted on the outer surface of the axle (3) via a plurality of bearings (4) and rotates passively, a space (7) recessed into one side of the
brake disc (6), a permanent
magnet (8) that is attached and fixed in
close contact with the inner surface of the space (7) and rotates together with the brake disc 6, and a generator
stator (9) fixed to the outer
peripheral surface of the axle (3) corresponding to the permanent
magnet (8). The
AC power generated by the generator (10) is converted to DC power by a
rectifier (20) consisting of a plurality of full-wave diodes (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6) and a
smoothing capacitor (C), and then charged into a
rechargeable cell (secondary
cell) or battery (40) by a
charge controller (30), and then supplied to a DC (
direct current) load (50). The power of the battery (40) is converted to 50 to 60 Hz
AC power by an
inverter (60), and then supplied to an AC (
alternating current) load 70.
