Ferrari and Honda have each introduced upgraded energy stores within their Formula 1 power units in the second half of the 2021 season. The energy store is F1-speak for its lithium ion battery and, along with the control electronics housed within the energy store, it’s a less-heralded part of the complicated modern hybrid engines.
The first ERS introduced to Formula 1 was KERS (K inetic E nergy R ecovery S ystem). KERS used either a flywheel or a battery to store the car's kinetic energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and supplement the engine's power when needed.
The year 2009 saw the introduction of Hybrid Powertrain system in F1 with the term Energy Recovery Systems (ERS) being coined. The ERS consists of a motor generator unit which recovers energy during braking, Control Electronics (CE) to transfer the energy and a battery to store and use this energy.
Formula 1 cars have always been cutting-edge examples of automotive technology, and modern-day Formula 1 racers are no exception. These cars contain tons of tech to help them race faster and more efficiently. Some of the newest examples of this technology are the ERS (E nergy R ecovery S ystems), a form of hybrid technology.
WATCH: How Formula 1 is striving to create a 100% sustainable fuel The fuel that F1 will run-in just over three years’ time will be unique and lab-created. “E fuels offer such a wonderful opportunity,” says Ross Brawn – F1’s Managing Director, Motorsports.
