Reducing energy consumption and increasing operational efficiency are currently among the leading research topics in design of hydraulic systems. In recent years, system modeling techniques have rapidly expanded, especially using artificial intelligence methods. Due to variety algorithms, methods, tools intelligence, it is possible consider prospects directions their further development. The an...

This thesis examines the modelling and control of a hydraulic servo system. Both a theoratical and a practical approach are discussed. The used set-up consists of an one DOF hydraulic system with an electronically controlled servo valve. A nonlinear parametric model of the system, several fitted linear black box models as well as a LPV model combining these fits are determined. The models are v...

Detailed knowledge of actuator properties is a prerequisite for advanced manipulator design and control. This paper deals with the experimental identification and modelling of the nonlinear dynamics of a high performance hydraulic actuator. Such actuators are of interest for applications which require both high power and high bandwidth. An analytical model of the system is formulated, and a sof...

The main goal of the study is to analyze all relevant properties of the electro hydraulic systems and based on that to make a proper choice of the control strategy that may be used for the control of the servomechanism system. A combination of electronic and hydraulic systems is widely used since it combines the advantages of both. Hydraulic systems are widely spread because of their properties...

The paper aims to develop a novel pitch control system for a large wind turbine driven by a variable-speed pump-controlled hydraulic servo system. To perform practical pitch control experiments, a full-scale test rig of the hydraulic pitch control system for a 2 MW wind turbine’s blade, including a novel pitch control mechanism, a variable-speed pump-controlled hydraulic servo system, a disturb...
