Abstract

The paper estimates the power dissipation of the traditional passive suspension under the different work condition, and the practicability of regenerative shock absorber is proved. Based on the fact, a novel scheme of electromagnetic regenerative shock absorber is proposed. The damper and electronic characteristics of the regenerative shock absorber are studied, and to improve vehicle comfort, a control algorithm is suggested, the controller uses the information from accelerometers and other sensors to change the external resistance of the circuit, which stiffens or softens the suspension. The modeling of the regenerative suspension system is studied and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. The results indicate that the regenerative suspension works best when used on the off-road. And compared with the traditional passive suspension or other semi-active suspension, the regenerative suspension could reduce the vibration of vehicle body and improve the passengers' comfort.
