Abstract
- This paper proposes a novel hybrid power-split transmission to drive hydraulic implements in construction machinery. The highly efficient power-split hybrid transmission is combined with displacement-controlled (DC) actuators to eliminate throttling losses within the hydraulic system and achieve higher fuel savings. The architecture design, sizing, and power-management are addressed. Simulation results considering a realistic truck-loading cycle on a mini-excavator demonstrate the feasibility of the idea. A systematic comparison between the proposed system and the previously developed series-parallel hybrid is also carried out. The paper compares engine operation and fuel consumption of the previously mentioned hybrid system with the original nonhybrid load-sensing (LS) machine. It is shown that by implementing an efficient engine operation control, the proposed system can achieve up to 60.2% improvement in fuel consumption when compared to the original machine and consume 11.8% less than the previously developed series-parallel hybrid with DC actuation. Other advantages of the proposed solution include a much steadier engine operation, which open to the possibility of designing an engine for optimal consumption and emissions at a single operating point as well as greatly reduce pollutant emissions. A steadier prime mover operation should also benefit fully electric machines, as the battery would not be stressed with heavy transients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
