Abstract [en]

Hydraulic hybrid system solutions are promising in the quest for energy efficiency in heavy construction machines. Hardware-in-the-loop simulations, where hardware is included in software simulations in real time, may be used to facilitate the development process of these systems without the need to build expensive prototypes. In this paper, the displacement actuator of a prototype pump used in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test rig is modelled and validated against hardware, in order to draw conclusions regarding its dynamic behaviour in a future control design. The results show that the dynamic response of the modelled displacement actuator is mainly determined by the system pressure as well as the response and geometry of the control valve.

Abstract [en]

This thesis deals with control aspects of complex hydromechanical transmissions. The overall purpose is to increase the knowledge of important aspects to consider during the development of hydromechanical transmissions to ensure transmission functionality. These include ways of evaluating control strategies in early design stages as well as dynamic properties and control aspects of displacement controllers, which are key components in these systems.

Fuel prices and environmental concerns are factors that drive research on propulsion in heavy construction machinery. Hydromechanical transmissions are strong competitors to conventional torque-converter transmissions used in this application today. They offer high efficiency and wide speed/torque conversion ranges, and may easily be converted to hybrids that allow further fuel savings through energy recuperation. One challenge with hydromechanical transmissions is that they offer many different configurations, which in turn makes it important to enable evaluation of control aspects in early design stages. In this thesis, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, which blend hardware tests and standard software-based simulations, are considered to be a suitable method. A multiple-mode transmission applied to a mid-sized construction machine is modelled and evaluated in offline simulations as well as in hardware-in-the-loopsimulations.

Hydromechanical transmissions rely on efficient variable pumps/motors with fast, accurate displacement controllers. This thesis studies the dynamic behaviour of the displacement controller in swash-plate axial-piston pumps/motors. A novel control approach in which the displacement is measured with an external sensor is proposed. Performance and limitations of the approach are tested in simulations and in experiments. The experiments showed a significantly improved performance with a controller that is slightly more advanced than a standard proportional controller. The implementation of the controller allows simple tuning and good predictability of the displacement response.

Abstract [en]

This thesis deals with control aspects of complex hybrid hydromechanical transmissions for heavy mobile working machines. Control problems are identified and solved to facilitate the implementation and use of these systems.

Fuel prices and environmental concerns have increased the interest in hybrid hydromechanical transmissions for heavy mobile working machines. Hybridisation, the introduction of a secondary energy source in the transmission, offers attractive improvements in terms of both fuel efficiency and performance. These improvements are, in turn, enabled by software control. A complex transmission architecture has several components that need to interact in a stable manner. In addition, optimal utilisation of the added energy source is required to maximise fuel savings. Meanwhile, there is a strong trend towards automation, where many of the operator’s difficult control tasks need to be managed by computers. Sophisticated control strategies are therefore needed, along with a deeper understanding of dynamic properties.

Previous research on the control of hybrid hydromechanical transmissions has primarily focussed on on-road applications. The working conditions of heavy working machines place different requirements on the transmission, which is also reflected in the control strategy.

This thesis highlights the importance of fast response of the variable displacement pump/motors used in hybrid hydromechanical transmissions. Their central position in the interface between hydraulics and mechanics makes their dynamic performance a limiting factor both for the stability of the transmission control loops and in the realisation of smooth mode shifts in multiplemode transmissions. Dynamic models and control strategies for displacement actuators are derived and validated in simulation and experiments. A linear model for dynamic analysis of a general hybrid hydromechanical transmission for heavy working machines is derived and a powertrain control strategy based on decoupled control is proposed. The strategy is verified in simulations and experiments in hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and may be used in a working machine with or without a human operator.
