The power management controller of a hybrid vehicle orchestrates the operation of onboard energy sources, namely engine and auxiliary power source with the goal of maximizing performance objectives such as the fuel economy. The paper focuses on optimization of the power management strategy of the refuse truck with parallel hydraulic hybrid powertrain. The high power density of hydraulic compone...

The function diagram of active heave compensation hydraulic system has been given, besides, the mathematics model for the principal hydraulic components of the compensation system has been built, and the input-output relation between components has been made clear. Aimed at compensating work capacity for the system, design and research on parameters as the bearing pressure, the initial state an...

Advanced prosthetic knees for transfemoral amputees are currently based on controlled damper mechanisms. Such devices require little energy to operate, but can only produce negative or zero joint power, while normal knee joint function requires alternative phases of positive and negative work. The inability to generate positive work may limit the user's functional capabilities, may cause undesi...

Owing to the high power consumption and limited control precision of traditional hydraulic drive winch systems, this study proposes electric-type energy recovery systems. The accumulator used in type has low density, which makes it difficult store a large amount energy. Meanwhile, electric motor/generator cannot solve secondary slip because oil leakage, leads controllability high-power under ne...

Battery is a vital subsystem in an electric vehicle with regenerative braking system. The energy efficiency of an electric vehicle is improved by storing the regenerated energy in an electric battery, during braking, and reusing it during subsequent acceleration. Battery possesses a relatively poor power density and slow charging of regenerated energy, when compared to hydro-pneumatic accumulat...

The hybrid vehicle is a new type of green and energy efficient vehicle. Hydraulic accumulator and variable pump/motor make up the break energy regeneration utilization system, which is the core of hydraulic auxiliary driving unit. The hybrid drive system is composed of hydraulic auxiliary driving unit and the original vehicle drive system. As it relates to the recovery of the braking energy and...

Taking the two position way valve unloading circuit, accumulator double pump liquid control sequence circuit as examples, paper analyses reason of abnormal operation several hydraulic puts forward concrete measures, which provides basis for design and system.

Energy storage devices for fluid power applications that are significantly more compact than existing ones will enable energy regeneration for many applications, including fluid power hybrid vehicles and construction equipment. The current approach to hydraulic energy storage makes use of a compressed gas enclosed in a closed chamber. As the system must contain the expanded gas and the hydrauli...
