1A2: Optimal Power Management Using Displacement-Controlled Actuators |
ABSTRACT
|
The goal of this project is to develop system architectures and control methods for optimal power management in multi-actuator mobile hydraulic machines using pump-controlled hydraulic motors and cylinders. This presentation describes the work accomplished to date, including the development of a detailed dynamic model of a compact exacavator with load-sensing hydraulics, simulations of a typical working cycle, and quantitative estimates of recoverable energy. |
