If I have an electric vehicle on an incline (m=17,300 kg) I want to figure out how much energy it would generate by regenerative braking.
I've used $a= g \cdot \sin({\theta}) $ and $f=m\cdot a$.
at 05 deg incline, acceleration is 0.85 m/s/s; this creates a force of 11114.972 N
at 10 deg incline, acceleration is 1.70 m/s/s; this creates a force of 22145.352 N
So bearing these values in mind if I don't want to accelerate and maintain a set speed I will need to create a braking force of 1111511114.972 N at 5 deg incline - this in turn will keep the machine at the same speed (ignoring friction, bumpy/uneven surface, etc.).
How can I figure out the Watts generated for the regenerative braking force of 1111511114.972 N?
The DC motor (I think it's 3 phase) is a 105 kW motor rated at 350 V and 300 A, max torque is 190 Nm @ 285 V drawing 285 A. (That's all the information I have for the motor.) Efficiency of the motor would be 0.85 (Assumed).
