“…The energy recovery in the suspension system, more specifically in the shock absorber, is carried out with Energy Harvesting Shock Absorbers (EHSA). Abdelkareem et al [16] and Zhang et al [17] made a review of all the EHSA technology that have been presented up to the present time. These systems usually work generating a magnetic field variation around a winding, resulting in a current and an electrical voltage.…”

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.

“…While comparing the electromagnetic EHRSAs, the direct‐drive type has drawback with respect to the packaging space, as it requires large magnets and coils to comply with the required electromechanical coupling constant. On the other hand, in the indirect‐drive category, the complexity of the motion conversion mechanism can affect the vehicle dynamics . The ball‐screw type can be made smaller and simpler than the rack‐pinion, with lower cost and higher durability.…”

“…On the other hand, in the indirect-drive category, the complexity of the motion conversion mechanism can affect the vehicle dynamics. 177 The ball-screw type can be made smaller and simpler than the rackpinion, with lower cost and higher durability. Moreover, its relatively higher transmission efficiency (due to single transmission level as opposed to rack-pinion that has three levels) makes it more promising for energy harvesting.…”

Summary Energy harvesting from pavements has been a topic of extensive research in the recent past. This domain has attracted not only the research community but also the industry and governmental authorities. The various sources exploited for energy harvesting from pavements and roadways are solar radiation, mechanical energy dissipated due to moving vehicles and pedestrians, geothermal energy, rainwater, and wind. This article presents an exhaustive and updated review of all potential means of energy harvesting from these sources. Following the introductory section, the article sequentially covers the energy harvesting methods and their research progress, materials, development of practical systems, commercial status, comparison of technologies, challenges, and concluding remarks. This study reveals that there is wide scope for further research and feasibility studies, which could lead to a wide‐spread implementation of the various technologies for energy harvesting from pavements and roads.

Regenerative shock-absorber systems have become more attractive to researchers and industries in the past decade. Vibration occurs between the road surface and car body when driving on irregular road surfaces. The function of regenerative shock absorbers is to recover this vibration energy, which can be dissipated in the form of heat as waste. In this paper, the development of regenerative shock absorber is reviewed. Methods This paper first introduces the existing research and significance of regenerative shock absorbers and reviews the potential of automotive vibration energy-recovery techniques; then, it classifies and summarises the general classifications of regenerative shock absorbers. Finally, this study analyses the modelling and simulation of shock absorbers, actuators and dampers. Results and Conclusions Results show that the great potential of energy recovery from automobile-suspension vibration. And hydraulic and electrical regenerative structures exhibit excellent performance, with great potential for development. Regenerative shock absorbers have become a promising trend for vehicles because of increasingly prominent energy issues.
