Novel Design

In this paper, a novel design of an energy regeneration system was proposed for recovering as well as reusing potential energy in a boom cylinder. The proposed system included a hydraulic pump/motor and an electrical motor/generator. When the boom moved down, the energy regeneration components converted the hydraulic energy to electrical energy and stored in a battery. Then, the regenerated energy was reused at subsequent cycles. In addition, an energy management strategy has been designed based on discrete time-optimal control to guarantee position tracking performance and ensure component safety during the operation. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, a co-simulation (using MATLAB and AMESim) was carried out. Through the simulation results, the maximum energy regeneration efficiency could achieve up to 44%. Besides, the velocity and position of the boom cylinder achieved good performance with the proposed control strategy.

Energy Regeneration

High power density energy regeneration is one of the effective solutions to solve the contradiction between improving the damping performance and energy consumption of active suspension. The hydraulic commutator is used to realize hydraulic rectification and hydraulic variable speed/pump/motor with few teeth difference gear pairs is used to match the speed, combined with permanent magnet motor power generation and power supply to put forward kilowatt level high power density mechanical-electrical-hydraulic regenerative suspension system for high-speed tracked vehicles. The mathematical model and fluid-solid-thermo-magnetic multiphysics coupling model are built to analyze the damping performance and regenerative characteristics of the system under passive and semi-active working conditions. The simulation results show that the damping force of the system increases with the increase of the road excitation amplitude and the semi-active control can be realized by adjusting the duty cycle with the PWM control rectifier module. The high power density mechanical-electrical-hydraulic regenerative suspension system can realize kilowatt level energy regeneration, and the regenerative efficiency is more than 50% under low-frequency excitation. The temperature rise of the system is low during operation, which is helpful to improve the reliability and service life.

Abstract In this work, a new drive concept for brushless direct current (BLDC) motors is introduced. Energy regeneration is optimally managed with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of robot motion controls. The proposed scheme has three independent regenerative drives interconnected in a wye configuration. An augmented model of the robot, joint mechanisms, and BLDC motors is formed, and then a voltage-based control scheme is developed. The control law is obtained by specifying an outer-loop torque controller followed by minimization of power consumption via online constrained quadratic optimization. An experiment is conducted to assess the performance of the proposed concept against an off-the-shelf driver. It is shown that, in terms of energy regeneration and consumption, the developed driver has better performance. Furthermore, the proposed concept showed a reduction of 15% energy consumption for the conditions of the study.
