A regenerative braking system includes a capacitor which is electrically
connected to a stack and is charged by the stack, a traction motor, a
motor control unit which control electric power input to the traction
motor and electric power output from the traction motor, a chopper which
is connected to the capacitor so as to be ON and OFF switched thereby
limiting charging voltage of the capacitor, a braking resistor which
consumes regenerative energy so as to serve as an auxiliary brake, and a
hybrid control unit which turns on the chopper in case that a charging
voltage limit of capacitor is exceeded so as to control overcharge of the
capacitor and turns off the chopper in case that charging voltage of the
capacitor descends. The capacitor is preferably a super capacitor.
