[0002] REGENERATIVE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
[0003] EARLIEST PRIORITY DATE:
[0004] This Application claims priority from a Provisional patent application filed in India having Patent Application no. 202441042962, filed on 03rdJune 2024 and titled “REGENERATIVE & RENEWABLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM”
[0005] FIELD OF INVENTION
[0006] The present disclosure relates to on the go charging system for electric vehicles, renewable energy vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles or any other vehicles and more particularly to an on the go charging system for vehicles incorporating Regenerative and Renewable Energy Management System (RREMS) for efficient utilization of energy from a plurality of renewable and regenerative sources. The RREMS can also be utilized in smart homes, renewable energy homes, buildings, and the like.
[0007] BACKGROUND
[0008] Electric vehicles (EVs) have become a pivotal component in a global effort to reduce carbon emissions currently and dependence on fossil fuels. The EVs operate using electric motors that derive power from energy stored in rechargeable battery systems. The rechargeable battery systems are charged through external electrical sources such as grid-based charging stations. The energy flow and vehicle propulsion in the EVs are managed mainly through an integrated architecture comprising a Battery which consist a Battery Management System (BMS), a controller (MCU - Motor Control Unit), and an electric motor (traction motor).
[0009] Referring to FIG. 1, an EV power system setup 100 is depicted as per the existing art. The EV power system setup 100 includes a battery pack 102 which contains a typical battery management system (BMS) 104, a typical controller (MCU - Motor Control Unit) 106, and a typical (traction) motor 108. In some aspects, the battery 102 serves as a primary energy storage unit for the EV power system setup 100. The energy stored in the battery 102 is used to drive the typical (traction) motor 108 via controller (MCU - Motor Control Unit) 106.
[0010] The typical BMS 104 is connected to the battery 102 and is responsible for monitoring and managing the battery's performance. In some cases, the typical BMS 104 may oversee the state of charge, health, over current protection, over voltage protection, charging and discharging processes of the battery 102, ensuring that the battery or battery cells operates safely, protects the battery or battery cells from damage, and maintains its health and efficiency. The typical controller (MCU) 106 is connected to the typical BMS 104 of battery 102 and the typical controller (MCU) 106 regulates the power flow and controls the operation of the typical (traction) motor 108 based on input signals received from the throttle position (PWM - Pulse Width Modulation Signal). In some aspects, the typical controller (MCU) 106 may be a central component in the EV power system setup, interfacing between the typical BMS 104 and the typical (traction) motor 108.
[0011] The typical (traction) motor 108, which is connected to the typical controller (MCU) 106, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. In some cases, the typical motor 108 may be the primary load that utilizes the energy managed by the system. However, this arrangement is not equipped to handle multiple sources of energy from renewable and regenerative sources or neither this arrangement has the capability to charge the vehicle on the go.
[0012] To supplement energy supply and reduce dependence on stationary charging infrastructure, certain EVs incorporate renewable energy sources such as roofmounted solar panels currently. Solar panels may generate electricity on the go, increasing the range of vehicles slightly in cars. These systems harvest ambient energy while the EVs are in one of: stationary and motion, providing the potential for extended driving range to a limited extent. However, the integration of renewable energy sources has remained largely rudimentary due to variable environmental conditions, limited surface area for energy harvesting, and the absence of an intelligent platform to collect and distribute multiple energy inputs effectively.
[0013] In addition to these renewable energy features, regenerative braking systems have been employed to capture kinetic energy during deceleration (KERS - Kinetic Energy Recovery System). In such systems, the electric motor reverses function to generate electricity from vehicle motion, which is then redirected to recharge the battery. Some vehicle architectures also incorporate regenerative shock absorbers and thermoelectric modules to harness vibrational or thermal energy during travel. While these technologies present opportunities to enhance energy efficiency, the utilization of these technologies is isolated and not integrated into a unified energy management strategy.
[0014] Despite these technological advancements, existing systems in the EVs face critical limitations. Most systems are configured to handle energy from primary sources, commonly battery, roof top solar panels and regenerative braking, while disregarding other potential sources such as wind turbines, solar panel covering whole body (including roof top), motor generators on wheels or axle, KERS, piezoelectric elements, thermoelectric generators, pedal mechanisms, and regenerative suspension components, etc. More importantly, there is a lack of coordinated system that collect energy from multiple sources, manage dynamically real time and distribute the energy to various loads such as a traction motor, a main battery, auxiliary battery (12 Volt / 24 Volt), peripheral electrical systems and sub systems of vehicle.
[0015] Moreover, the current architectures for energy harvesting and distribution are rigid, application-specific, and unsuitable for scalable deployment across various classes of electric vehicles, including two-wheelers, commercial utility vehicles, cars, buses, trucks and etc. Integrating additional energy harvesting systems requires multiple standalone controllers, sensors, and wiring, which increases the cost, weight, and complexity of the overall system, while also introducing reliability concerns.
[0016] In Case of Hybrid petrol / diesel vehicles (especially cars), energy is regenerated through bigger altemator / generator, which charges both primary 12 Volt / 24 Volt Battery and traction battery which powers the electric (traction) motor. The regenerative braking is also utilized in hybrid vehicles. However, existing vehicle designs are not fully utilizing renewable energy and regenerative energy sources.
[0017] Therefore, there is a need for an energy management system that may intelligently and efficiently manage the collection, distribution, and utilization of the energy from a plurality of renewable and regenerative sources in the vehicles. Such a system should provide direct power to motor, help charge vehicle on the go (if battery is undercharged and motor requires less current than energy generated from different energy sources), minimize energy loss, simplify integration, support scalability across vehicle types, and improve the overall energy efficiency and autonomy of the EVs and other vehicles.

[0050] FIG. 2 illustrates an on the go charging system 200 for an electric vehicle integrating a renewable and regenerative energy management system (RREMS) 204, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The on the go charging system 200 may include a plurality of energy generators configured to generate electric energy from a plurality of energy sources 202. The RREMS 204 is configured to collect and manage the electric energy (i.e., electricity) from the plurality of energy sources 202.

[0055] In an embodiment, one or more voltage and current components may be added or removed based on requirements / model / variant / configuration / application of the on the go charging system 200.
[0056] The on the go charging system 200 further includes a battery management system 206 that is connected to the RREMS 204. The battery management system 206 is configured to analyze a state of charge and health of battery 208.
[0057] In an embodiment, if there is a battery technology which doesn't contain a BMS 206, then RREMS 204 is capable of performing the all the operations directly with battery 208 with the help of sensors.
[0058] The RREMS 204 is configured to collect the generated electric energy from the plurality of energy sources 202. The RREMS 204 is further configured to analyze collected electric energy in real-time and direct the electric energy to at least one of: a traction motor 214 of the electric vehicle through a controller(MCU) 212 of the on the go charging system 200, to a load shedding resistor or dump load 210, and the primary battery (i.e., the battery 208), and the secondary battery for storing the electricity, to subsystems, auxiliary systems of the vehicle depending on requirement of load, supply of energy from different sources and battery charge status.
[0059] In an embodiment, the RREMS 204 may be configured to collect the electric energy from the plurality of energy sources 202 (e.g., renewable and regenerative energy sources), analyze the electric energy generated, and provide required electric energy to at least one of: the battery management system 206 or to battery 208 and the controller 212 or to motor 214, depending on the system requirements.
[0060] In an embodiment, the RREMS 204 collects energy from the plurality of energy sources 202, such as the one or more mini wind turbines 402 equipped with lightweight aerodynamic rotors or propellers. The one or more mini wind turbines 402 may be configured to convert wind energy into electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204. In some cases, the one or more mini wind turbines 402 may be AC / DC motor generators, which can efficiently convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
[0061] In addition to the one or more mini wind turbines, the RREMS 204 may also collect the electric energy from the one or more flexible or thin or any other type of solar panels 302. The one or more solar panels 302 may be configured to convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204.
[0062] The RREMS 204 may also collect the electric energy from the one or more AC / DC motor generators 304 connected to one or more wheels or axle of the vehicle. The one or more motor generators 304 may be configured to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204.
[0063] The RREMS 204 may also collect the electric energy from the one or more KERS or Regenerative Breaking Units 306. The one or more KERS or Regenerative Breaking Units 306 may be configured to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204.
[0064] The RREMS 204 may also collect the electric energy generated from pressure and heat. For instance, the vehicle may be equipped with devices that convert mechanical pressure or thermal energy into electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204. This may allow the vehicle to generate additional electrical energy from the normal operation of the vehicle.
[0065] The RREMS 204 may also collect energy from the one or more regenerative shock absorbers 404. The one or more regenerative shock absorbers 404 may be configured to convert kinetic energy from the vehicle's movement into electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204. This may allow the vehicle to generate additional electrical energy from the normal operation of the vehicle, such as the movement of the vehicle's suspension system.
[0066] The RREMS 204 is configured to perform real-time analysis of the electric energy produced by the plurality of energy sources 202. This real-time analysis of the electric energy involves monitoring the amount of electric energy generated, the rate at which the electric energy is produced, and the current state of the battery or other storage devices, required the electric energy to the motor 214 or load and many other factors.
[0067] The RREMS 204 is responsible for balancing the electric energy in the vehicles. This involves ensuring that the electric energy generated from the plurality of sources 202 is distributed in a manner that maximizes the efficiency of the vehicles. For instance, (a) when the RREMS 204 determines more demand via PWM (throttle), the load draws the current from both the plurality of energy sources 202 (i.e., the renewable and regenerative sources), and the battery 208. (b) When the RREMS 204 determines less demand, the load draws the current from the plurality of energy sources 202, battery 208 is charged parallelly (if not charged), reduces current flow or supplies current to dump load (Subsystems, 12V / 24V auxiliary battery, auxiliary systems, etc.) or to load shedding resistor 210. (c) if the RREMS 204 determines less or no current from the plurality of energy sources 202 than the current required by the load, the load draws the current from the battery 208. (d) if the RREMS 204 determines that no current in battery 208, then the load is configured to run the current from the plurality of energy sources 202 (i.e., undercurrent or reduced performance), (e) If the load is not running and battery 208 is undercharged, then the battery 208 is charged directly by the plurality of energy sources 202. (f) If the load is not running, the battery 208 is charged, and there is current flowing from plurality of energy sources, then the current is directed to dump load 210 (i.e., Subsystems, 12V / 24V Auxiliary Battery, Auxiliary Systems, etc.) or load shedding resistor 210 or turn off the supply from the plurality of energy sources 202. The supply may be turned on again when the load starts running, if turned off. All of this can be achieved through RREMS’s Maximum Power Utilization (MPU) Model.
[0068] In some aspects, various types of batteries may be utilized in the context of the on the go charging 200 for the electric vehicles. Examples of suitable battery types include, but are not limited to, Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePCL) batteries, Nickel -Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, Lead- Acid batteries, and Solid-State batteries, and the like.
[0069] In this way, the RREMS 204 is configured to ensure that the electric energy generated from the plurality of sources 202 is utilized in the most efficient manner possible, reducing waste and enhancing the overall performance of the vehicle. The RREMS 204 plays a central role by efficiently collecting and managing energy from the plurality of sources 202 and directing the electric energy to the appropriate components (e.g., the primary battery 208, the secondary battery, the motor 214, dump load and load shedding resistor 210) of the on the go charging system 200.
[0070] FIG. 3 illustrates an isometric view 300 of the electric bicycle integrating the RREMS 204 utilizing the plurality of energy sources 202 that generates the electric energy, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electric bicycle may be equipped with the plurality of energy sources 202.

The plurality of energy sources 202 is connected to the RREMS 204 for enabling the RREMS 204 to direct / manage the electric energy to the other components (e.g., the primary battery 208, the secondary battery, the motor 214, and dump load or load shedding resistor 210). The electric bicycle may be mid-drive or rear wheel hub motor or direct drive or front wheel drive.
[0071] The one or more solar panels 302 may be configured to convert the solar energy into the electrical energy, which is then channelled into the RREMS 204.
[0072] The one or more motor generators 304 (AC / DC) on the one or more wheels are configured to generate electricity when the electric bicycle is moving. The electric energy / electricity generated by the one or more motor generators 304 may be channelled into the RREMS 204.
[0073] The KERS 306 may be integrated via dynamo breaking feature to convert kinetic energy from road bumps into electrical energy. The electric energy generated from these KERS 306 is channelled into the RREMS 204. In the similar way Regenerative shock absorbers and other energy sources will be integrated in the bicycle to generate more energy and channelled into the RREMS 204.
[0074] FIG. 4 illustrates an isometric view 400 of the electric bicycle integrating the RREMS 204 utilizing the plurality of energy sources 202 that generates the electric energy, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
