Energy-saving research of excavators is becoming one hot topic due to the increasing energy crisis and environmental deterioration recently. Hydraulic hybrid excavator based on common pressure rail (HHEC) provides an alternative with electric hybrid excavator because it has high power density and environment friendly and easy to modify based on the existing manufacture process. This paper is focused on the fuel consumption of HHEC and the actuator dynamic response to assure that the new system can save energy without sacrificing performance. Firstly, we introduce the basic principle of HHEC; then, the sizing process is presented; furthermore, the modeling period which combined mathematical analysis and experiment identification is listed. Finally, simulation results show that HHEC has a fast dynamic response which can be accepted in engineering and the fuel consumption can be reduced 21% to compare the original LS excavator and even 32% after adopting another smaller engine.

In this paper a hydraulic hybrid system architecture for multi-actuator displacement controlled systems is analyzed. In particular the problem of optimal control for a hybrid excavator with four actuators is solved. The system states and controls are identified and classified into those which are cycle defined and those which are free to vary during the duty cycle. A state space model is derived for the hybrid system using the free states and controls and an outline of the algorithm used to apply dynamic programming to the system is described. The optimal controls and states for an aggressive truck loading cycle of the excavator are compared with suboptimal controls and states obtained using a rule based control strategy. Finally a comparison is made for the simulated fuel consumption of the system using optimal and suboptimal controls. A comparison is also made between the fuel consumption of the hybrid and non-hybrid excavators.

In order to meet the energy saving requirement of the excavator, hybrid excavators are becoming the hot spot for researchers. The initial problem is to match the parameter of each component, because the system is tending to be more complicated due to the introduction of the accumulator. In this paper, firstly, a new architecture is presented which is hydraulic hybrid excavator based on common pressure rail combined switched function (HHES). Secondly, the general principle of dynamic programming algorithm (DPA) is explained. Then, the method by using DPA for parameter matching of HHES is described in detail. Furthermore, the DPA is translated into the M language for simulation. Finally, the calculation results are analyzed, and the optimal matching group is obtained.

To solve the low efficiency problem of hydraulic excavator, one type of Dual-Pump hydraulic architecture with combined Common Pressure Rail (CPR) and traditional valve controlled system is presented. Firstly, we analyze the energy consumption of excavator during one cycle to know the energy distribution among each actuator. Then, the Dual-Pump system is explained to design an easy to modify, cost efficient hydraulic hybrid excavator. Moreover, we focus on the boom system and construct the model. Finally, a simulation is created and the results illustrate that the proposed system can satisfy the design requirement.

Facing the energy crisis and environmental problems, saving energy of construction machinery, especially in the hydraulic excavator is very important. Regeneration of the potential energy is an effective solution to save energy. However, the conventional hybrid excavator can’t regenerate the potential energy. This paper proposes a new structure of boom system of hydraulic excavator as well as a control strategy. The focus of the paper is using hydraulic transformer to regenerate energy and reusing the regenerated energy. The simulation is carried out by the AMESim software. From the simulation results, this new system has a high efficiency for energy saving.

The possible volume reduction and stabilization of the sewage sludge associated with the melting process are expected to be greater than with the incineration process. In addition, melted slag can be utilized. However, since the melting process requires a very high temperature to melt inorganics (ash) in the sludge, the technologies to minimize energy consumption, to establish system operation and to prolong durability of facilities should be developed. This paper discusses the auxiliary fuel consumption as follows.(1)Preparation of a model that provides the auxiliary fuel consumption of the melting system on the basis of the mass and heat balances.(2)Evaluation of the auxiliary fuel consumption in the above model using the cake moisture content, the volatile solids of the cake, the dried cake moisture content and the melting temperature as parameters.(3)Examination of the operational conditions for an energy saving melting system based on the results of (1) and (2) above.
