Design of a hydraulic servo-actuation fed by a regenerative braking system

Abstract

h i g h l i g h t sAn innovative on board hydraulic system fed by a KERS is presented. A complete model of the proposed system is presented. The model is validated on experimental data. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c tMany conventional truck and working machines are equipped with additional hydraulic tooling or manipulation systems which are usually fed through a mechanical connection with the internal combustion engine, involving a poor efficiency. In particular, this is a common situation for industrial vehicles whose mission profiles involves a relevant consumption of energy by the on board hydraulic systems, respect to the one really needed for only traction purpose. In this work it is proposed an innovative solution based on the adoption of a system aimed to recover braking energy in order to feed an efficient on board hydraulic actuation system. The proposed system is then adopted to a real application, an Isuzu truck equipped with a hydraulic tooling for garbage collection. A prototype of the system has been designed, assembled and tested showing a relevant improvement of system efficiency and the feasibility of the proposed approach. In the paper the proposed solution is presented, showing the simulation models and preliminary validation results including experimental devices assembled to perform the tests.

A Review on Energy Consumption, Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Metal Forming Processes from Different Hierarchies

“…The variable-frequency motors and servo motors are different types of variable-speed motors that are directly used to drive the actuator without the intermediate variable valves in the variable control system [45][46][47]. The demanded pressure and flow of the control system, and direction of working liquid are adjusted by the motors and pumps to solve the mismatch control problem and reduce energy consumption [48][49][50]. In addition, adaptive control approaches have been developed to fulfill the control performance of the volume control systems [51][52][53][54].…”
