MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122367 A) filed by B V Raju Institute Of Technology, Narsapur, Telangana, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'eco-brake: a smart regenerative braking system with battery charging and smart bms.'
Inventor(s) include Vepuri Dhanunjaya; G Angit Kumar; A Murali; Utharpally Srikanth; Bejjanki Sravani; and Matta Himabindu.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In battery-powered devices and electric vehicles, optimizing energy efficiency is essential to enhancing battery life and overall performance. This project presents an Internet of Things-enabled Regenerative Braking System utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller to regulate a 12V DC motor, with a potentiometer controlling its speed. Designed to boost efficiency, the system captures energy during braking and redirects it back into the battery for storage. A relay mechanism enables switching between standard operation and regenerative braking mode. When the brake switch is engaged, the relay activates regenerative braking, allowing the battery to store the energy generated by the motor. Conversely, when the relay is deactivated, the motor runs according to the potentiometer's speed setting. To monitor system performance, DC voltage and current sensors measure regenerative voltage, battery voltage, and battery current. The project integrates Firebase as a cloud database alongside an MIT App Inventor-based mobile application for real-time tracking and control. Through an easy to-use interface, the mobile app allows users to: Operate the motor and braking system, evaluate energy recovery efficiency to optimize performance, and monitor battery parameters, including voltage, current, and regenerative voltage, in real time."
