نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the general characteristics of digital hydraulic power management system. The principle is new and studied only in few research publications. Functionality, controllability and losses are discussed, and the conclusion is that the technology makes almost optimal power management possible. The technology also improves the energy storing capacity of the accumulator by factor of 2-3 when compared to traditional constant pressure systems.

Analysis of Small-Scale Hydraulic Actuation Systems
We investigated small-scale hydraulic power actuation systems using a system level analysis, where smallscale refers to systems generating 10 to 100 Watts output power, to determine whether the high power density advantage of hydraulics holds at small sizes. Hydraulic actuator system power density was analyzed with simple physics models and compared to an equivalent electromechanical system com...
متن کاملDiscussion: Is the future of fluid power digital?
Imagine the scenario in which an electric motor company came to the (correct) conclusion that the power density of hydraulic pumps and motors is much higher than that of electric generators and motors. Then imagine that the board of this company gave the (wrong) instruction to the R&D department to utilize the concept of hydrostatic machines to develop electric generators and pumps with the sam...
متن کاملTowards Human Friendly Hydraulics - Passive Teleoperation of Hydraulic Equipment using a Force Feedback Joystick
Hydraulic systems, as power source and transmission, offer many advantages over electromechanical or purely mechanical counterparts in terms of power density, flexibility and portability. Many hydraulic systems require touching and contacting the physical environments; and many of these systems are directly controlled by human. If hydraulic systems are passive, they would be safer to interact w...
متن کاملHydraulic aspects of environmental flood management in boreal conditions
In environmental flood management, an essential task is to improve channel conveyance using environmentally preferable methods, which aim to preserve natural morphological and hydraulic characteristics of a river. This requires a reliable channel design method that accounts for complex hydraulics, i.e. two-stage channel or considerable bank vegetation. Hydraulic field measurements were carried ...
متن کاملStatistical Model Checking of a Digital Hydraulic Power Management System
This thesis extends on a Finnish case study on a Digital Hydraulic Power Management System, which is an example of a cyber-physical system. Such systems may have strict bounds on properties, which can be proven using modeling techniques and verification queries. Scaling of models to arbitrary size is under ongoing research, which this paper explores using the example of the Digital Hydraulic Po...
