CONCLUSION.
Charge Cycle:
When the brakes are applied, the gearbox output shaft rotates the
MGU and it acts as an electrical generator.
The generator produces electrical energy.
The PCU unit transfers the electrical energy to store it in the battery
unit.
Boost Cycle:
When the additional acceleration is required, the PCU unit releases the
stored electrical energy to the MGU.
The MGU now acts as a motor.
The motor converts the electrical energy to rotational energy.
The kinetic energy is then transferred to the drive wheels through the
gear box.
MECHANICAL KERS
Storage Cycle:
In case of braking, the CVT connect the KERS flywheel system with
the drive shaft.
The KERS flywheel starts rotating and absorbs kinetic energy from
wheels.
Boost Cycle:
As and when there is a requirement for additional acceleration, the
flywheels kinetic energy get transferred to the wheels again
through the CVT.
