In vehicles to ensure both safety and comfort
the suspension system should carry out its duties in strict sense. However
there exist a reasonable energy loss in vehicle suspension systems due to the
vibrations that caused by the road roughness. Nowadays, the popularity and the
usage percentage of electric and hybrid electric vehicles are increasing
rapidly all around the world. The energy optimization in these vehicles has
become very important since it directly affects the range value. In order to overcome this compelling issue,
researchers focus on various aspects of vehicles for energy regeneration. One
of the possible solutions is the regenerative suspension system. In some research
it has been showed that, approximately 400 W energy waste is occurred in a
basic car which is travelling on an average road [1], and a large amount of
this energy can be regained with the help of regenerative suspension systems. For example, having an efficiency of 75%, 300
W of electrical power can be obtained which can be utilized in other electrical
parts of vehicles, that would directly improve the fuel efficiency. Since then,
many researchers resort these systems and there has been large amount of works on
regenerative energy suspensions for one decade. The main objectives of the
proposed work are to investigate energy harvesting potential of quarter car
active suspension system for various vehicles under different conditions and
then to introduce a multi-objective optimization algorithm in which passenger
comfort and safety are ensured with energy recycling suspension systems.
