a master's thesis at the College of Engineering at the University of Basrah discussing (the study of energy harvesting from the suspension system of vehicles)
The thesis presented by the student Murtadha Qassem Dinar dealt with the derivation and modeling of the energy harvesting system using the non-linear suspension system of the energy harvesting model.
A complete vehicle using the Matlab program, where the system consists of a hydraulic cylinder, piston and valve
Triple and hydraulic motor. The performance characteristics of the system were compared with different suspension systems such as (idle,
electromagnetic, and active) and found that the system performance is highly comparable with that of the active system.
Three different pressure levels (10, 30, and 50 bar) are used, along with three different input signals (random, sinusoidal, and square) and fractional integral proportional derivative control system
The thesis aims to reduce the energy use of each vehicle for the purpose of saving energy for other works and thus increasing the efficiency of the engine
The thesis concluded that the performance characteristics
Regenerative suspension systems can be close to the performance characteristics of active suspension systems and better than other systems Simple and electromagnetic in terms of displacement response with time.
