Observer-Based Robust Control for Hydraulic Velocity Control System
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/689132 Open access This paper investigates the problems of robust stabilization and robust control for the secondary component speed control system with parameters uncertainty and load disturbance. The aim is to enhance the control performance of hydraulic system based on Common Pressure Rail (CPR). Firstly, a mathematical model is presented to describe the hydraulic control system. Then a novel observer is proposed, and an observed-based control strategy is designed such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and satisfies …
Control strategy analysis of the hydraulic hybrid excavator
Abstract Applying the electric hybrid technique on the off-road vehicle is one popular method to reduce the fuel consumption. However, the high cost, low energy conversion efficiency and disposal of used batteries are still the main problems. This paper is focusing on one alternative choice which is hydraulic hybrid off-road vehicles. Among the most typical off-road vehicles, the excavator is chosen as the prototype to study the control strategy. First, the basic principle of the hydraulic hybrid excavator based on Common Pressure Rail is introduced. Then, the mathematical model of the whole excavator is created. Moreover, the dynamic programming algorithm is used to solve the optimal contr…

Finally, the prototypes of new-type hydraulic transformer and the test rig are constructed to test the performance. Both the simulated and experimental results show that …
Energy-saving analysis of hydraulic hybrid excavator based on common pressure rail
Published version of an article in the journal: The Scientific World Journal. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/560694 Open Access 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.

Angle Displacement Robust Controller for the Port Plate of the Hydraulic Transformer
The hydraulic transformer is used in the hydraulic system to enhance the efficiency. However, how to control the angle displacement of the port plate is becoming a critical issue because of the new structure of the hydraulic transformer. This paper presents a new method for the angle displacement control system. Firstly, the basic principle of the system is presented. Then, the disturbance which is mainly the friction torque between the port plate and the cylinder block is calculated to estimate the range. Furthermore, the guaranteed cost control (GCC) is analyzed and combined with the disturbance and the characteristics of parameter uncertainties. Finally, the proposed control method is co…
