Hybridization of a Backhoe Loader: Electric Drive System Design

Heavy machinery is critical to agriculture, construction, mining, and other sectors of a country’s economy. However, such vehicles consume high amount fuel, increasing production costs the emission polluting gases into atmosphere. One alternatives reduce fuel consumption electrification these vehicles, but definition an optimal topology for heavy still under study, works with electric drive systems projects machines are scarce. This paper presents main characteristics design system backhoe, including control simulation motor system, prototype bench experimental tests carried out in context hybridization presented. Based results, improvements proposed discussed aid computational simulation.
