The way the rheostatic and regenerative systems differ, is that rheostatic braking passes the generated electricity through powerful resistors (rheostats), which generates heat, dissipated into the atmosphere by powerful fans. Regenerative braking, on the other hand, instead of turning electricity into heat, feeds it back to the grid , or recharges the onboard batteries .
