Basics
- They are more commonly reffered to as "Start-Stop" or "Stop-Start" systems, however Idle-Stop Systems is used in papers etc
- Systems for Internal Combustion Engines , typically for Vehicles, where when idle for a certain amount of time (long enough that it isn't a small pause), the engine will turn off automatically
- Then when the "gas pedal" is pressed again, or new power is needed for ongoing electronic/mechanical devices once the "reserve" has been used up, it will automatically turn back on
- The Starter Motor is typically upgraded to make this process faster as well
- In situations such as start-stop traffic this can significantly reduce fuel use, and decrease Emissions
- Much of the technology may be of use in backup / Microgrid generator systems as well
