Performance of a novel energy-regenerative active suspension system

A novel energy-regenerative active suspension (NEAS) system was designed to solve the problem of low energy recovery efficiency caused by frequent alternation of energy-recovery mode and active-control mode in a traditional energy-regenerative active suspension (TEAS) system. The energy recovery and active control could be implemented simultaneously in the NEAS. The transforming processes and the corresponding computational formulas of power conversion in the NEAS were provided. The simulation results show that the performances of energy recovery of the NEAS are improved, and the self-sustaining of power supply for the NEAS can be realized.
