KERS
KERS stand for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, a system that allow an energy recovery mechanism during braking a vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into another form, which can be either used immediately or stored until needed.
MET/engineering has direct experience on high performance battery-based KERS, from design details to system development at test bench and vehicle testing.
In addition to a battery system, other technologies are evaluated such as flywheel and super-capacitor KERS, to provide an integration of the technologies.
As motorsport experience with KERS, MET/engineering support the customer to make the system effective to improve the laptime, not just to use the system as "push-to-pass" booster, by doing computer simulation and implementing the required control strategies in the KCU (KERS Controlling Unit).
