Study of Energy Saving System for Hydrostatic Drive - A Review

Abstract

The hydrostatic transmission energy-saving system is proposed in this paper. The efficiency of the primary power source improves by system. The system is energy regenerative, highly efficient even under partial load conditions. It can work in either a flow or pressure coupling configuration allowing it to avoid the disadvantages of each configuration. The displacement variation in the secondary unit was reduced, increasing the uses of several types of hydraulic pump/motors. The proposed system was modeled based on its physical attributes. A hierarchal control system was implemented and focused on the design of an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for speed control of the secondary unit. The energy utilization and the influences on the energy-recovery potential of the system were analyzed.Keywords-Hydrostatic drive, energy saving system, Regenerative systems
