Servo driven hydraulic power units have been implemented in some sectors of industry in order to counteract rising energy costs and reduce our ecological footprint. The advantages associated with the use of these technologies has motivated us to research a new control approach that allows its use independently, with reduced implementation costs and high efficiency. This investigation develops new solutions to concurrently implement and improve volumetric control methodology for oil-hydraulic power units, which aims to produce and provide strictly necessary hydraulic power to the actuators. The approach used is based on a balance of flows present in a hydraulic circuit, reducing the pressure ripple generated by the pumps, valves and actuators, using a hydraulic accumulator. The work begins with the mathematical modeling of a volumetric oil-hydraulic power unit, designed to demonstrate the concepts of the project, its components and the associated advantages. The definitions of the models presented are intended to exemplify the new control strategy and infer about the possibilities that arise from the use of this new methodology for power oil-hydraulic units. In order to carry out the research and conclude about the results of the simulations, two simulations were performed using MATLAB Simulink software for two distinct hydraulic circuits and their control strategy: resistive control and volume control with the use of a servo motor. In the resistive control, an internal gear pump driven by an induction motor with constant speed uses a pressure regulating valve to derive the excess of the flow to the reservoir. Despite their low efficiency, this type of assembly has very low costs and has a very good dynamic compared with traditional volumetric drive systems, avoiding the use of dedicated engineering. The volumetric control makes use of an internal gear pump (to allow direct comparisons with the resistive control method), a servo motor, a hydraulic accumulator and a directional valve which prevent the flow from de accumulator draining into the reservoir during the downtimes. The controller allows you to establish a direct relationship between the accumulator volume and pressure of the hydraulic circuit. The control methodology discussed throughout this work reveals an alternative volumetric control solution to consider, whether in new equipment or in retrofitting even with the different objectives of existing technologies available in the market. The simulations allow us to conclude on energy-saving and environmental advantages of the volumetric control system presented, comparing it with existing systems on the market.

This article presents a methodology for predicting the fluid dynamic behavior of a gear pump over its operating range. Complete pump parameterization was carried out through standard tests, and these parameters were used to create a bond graph model to simulate the behavior of the unit. This model was experimentally validated under working conditions in field tests. To carry this out, the pump was used to drive the auxiliary movements of a drilling machine, and the experimental data were compared with a simulation of the volumetric behavior under the same conditions. This paper aims to describe a method for characterizing any hydrostatic pump as a “black box” model predicting its behavior in any operating condition. The novelty of this method is based on the correspondence between the variation of the parameters and the internal changes of the unit when working in real conditions, that is, outside a test bench.

Switchmode hydraulic power supply is a new kind of energy-saving pressure converting system, which is originally proposed by the authors. It is mainly applied in multiple-actuator hydraulic systems, and installed between hydraulic pump and actuators (one switchmode hydraulic power supply for one actuator). It can provide pressure or flow rate that is adapted to the consumption of each actuator in the system by boosting or bucking the pressure, with low power loss, and conveniently, through high-speed switch valves, just like a hydraulic pressure transformer. There are two basic types of switchmode hydraulic power supply: pressure boost and pressure buck. Their structures and working principles are introduced. The dynamic characteristics of two typical types of switchmode hydraulic power supply, the pressure boost type and the pressure buck type, were analyzed through simulations and experiments. The performances were evaluated, and improvements on the efficiency of switchmode hydraulic power supply were proposed.

Europe has a long history of high speed locomotive and power unit development. This paper focuses on these developments in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Spain starting from high speed locomotives for 125 mph and ending with the AVE S112 high speed power unit for 206 mph. The major technical objectives starting in the 1970’s were to increase the speed and performance, while reducing the axle load from typically 21t at 125 mph to 17t at ≥ 156 mph. Developments of the propulsion system and vehicle concepts took place in many incremental steps, constantly improving the performance of high speed services. It is shown how American high speed locomotives relate to these developments and how one can learn from the European experience going forward.
