Abstract
This study investigates the performance of dynamic capacitance regulation technology in electric vehicle piezoelectric shock absorbers for energy recovery under varying road conditions. By simulating a quarter-vehicle suspension system, this paper comprehensively analyzes the energy recovery efficiency of piezoelectric shock absorbers on gravel, speed bumps, and bumpy road conditions, comparing the performance differences between traditional fixed capacitance and dynamic capacitance. The results demonstrate that dynamic capacitance regulation technology can automatically adjust the capacitance value in response to instantaneous voltage changes, thereby enhancing energy recovery efficiency under various road conditions. This technology not only improves the energy conversion efficiency of piezoelectric shock absorbers but also strengthens the system's adaptability to different vibration frequencies and amplitudes. Further simulation evidence confirms that piezoelectric shock absorbers, under dynamic capacitance regulation, achieve better energy recovery performance across diverse road conditions, offering new insights into improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of electric vehicles. The novelty of this research lies in the first application of dynamic capacitance regulation technology to the energy recovery system of electric vehicle piezoelectric shock absorbers, providing a new theoretical foundation and technical reference for optimizing electric vehicle energy recovery systems.
