“…The recovery of energy from different areas of the vehicle is a topic that has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years, resulting in a large number of publications. A considerable number of references propose harvesting energy from: the heat given off by the exhaust pipes [1][2][3][4][5], the absorption of the kinetic energy in the brakes [6][7][8][9], the deformation of the tires [10,11], the vibrations of the engine [12,13], the seats [14], and also the suspension system of the vehicle [15].…”

Numerous authors have studied Energy Harvesting Shock Absorbers (EHSA) over the last decade, proposing different designs with diverse geometries, parameters, and components. This article analyzes the energy recovery potential of two types of rotational EHSA, those that use ball-screw and those based on cable transmission. This paper presents the design, manufacturing and mathematical modeling of both options as well as the estimation of the potential power recovery with both technologies. Two types of vehicles are used as references, each one with the characteristic curves of their shock absorbers. Results are presented for different vehicle speeds and road types. Finally, some qualitative characteristics of both EHSAs are detailed to be taken into consideration for their possible use in vehicle suspension.

“…To assess eco-efficient actions in the automotive plant, the energy recovery system of an ETV, known as the regenerative braking effect, is integrated into our model. As reported by Xu et al (2011) and Jin et al (2014) and references therein, energy efficiency due to regenerative braking has shown to be up to roughly 30% which represents an average value if the origin of the electricity source (renewable energy or fossil fuel) is disregarded. It must be emphasized that, although the energy consumption of a single ETV accounts for a small fraction of the total energy demanded by an automobile assembly line, it is crucial to model and analyze every aspect in the assembly line management to assume a realistic commitment to reduce CO 2 emissions.…”

Purpose This study aims to reduce carbon emissions and costs in an automobile production plant by improving the operational management efficiency of a serial assembly line assisted by a feeding electric tow vehicle (ETV). Design/methodology/approach A multi-objective function is formulated to minimize the energy consumption of the ETV from which emissions and costs are measured. First, a mixed-integer linear programming model is used to solve the feeding problem for different sizes of the assembly line. Second, a bi-objective optimization (HBOO) model is used to simultaneously minimize the most eco-efficient objectives: the number of completed runs (tours) by the ETV along the assembly line, and the number of visits (stops) made by the ETV to deliver kits of components to workstations. Findings The most eco-efficient strategy is always the bi-objective optimal solution regardless of the size of the assembly line, whereas, for single objectives, the optimization strategy differs depending on the size of the assembly line. Research limitations/implications Instances of the problem are randomly generated to reproduce real conditions of a particular automotive factory according to a previous case study. The optimization procedure allows managers to assess real scenarios improving the assembly line eco-efficiency. These results promote the implementation of automated control of feeding processes in green manufacturing. Originality/value The HBOO-model assesses the assembly line performance with a view to reducing the environmental impact effectively and contributes to reducing the existent gap in the literature. The optimization results define key strategies for manufacturing industries eager to integrate battery-operated motors or to address inefficient traffic of automated transport to curb the carbon footprint.

“…The system has to run in conjunction with conventional friction brakes to provide a complete stop but can achieve efficiency improvements of around 30%. 2 For the petrol engine, the energy saving technology hails from Formula 1 motorsport. Since 2009 F1 cars have been using Energy Recovery Systems (ERS) that convert waste energy into useable horsepower.…”
