How Hybrid Vehicles Save Energy? With a secondary power source/storage, it is possible to: Manage engine operation Store/reuse braking energy Turn off engine Downsize engine for continuous power Example vehicle on EPA-UDDS cycle: Baseline (10% engine efficiency): 24 mpg Engine management (38% efficiency): 95 mpg Above with regeneration: 140 mpg Engine 38% Energy storage Drive-train 10-15% Required for maximum performance wheel Normal driving operating range 2
Why Hydraulic Hybrids? Why not stick with electric hybrids? Electric batteries / ultracaps (cost, reliability, recycling, power density) Electric motors & inverters (cost, power density) Affect overall cost, weight, and power Metrics Fuel economy Cost Performance Toyota Prius 3
Hybrid Hydraulic versus Hybrid Electric Vehicle Hydraulic pump/motor have significantly higher power density than electric motor/generator (16:1 by weight, 8:1 by volume) Hydraulic drives have much lower torque density than electric drives Accumulators are 10x more power dense than batteries limits acc/braking and hence regenerative Efficient power electronics are expensive braking Batteries have 2 order magnitude higher energy density than accumulators Current hydraulic systems tend to be noisy and leaky Overall tradeoff: Hydraulic hybrids can be significantly lighter and cheaper than electric hybrids if energy density limitation can be solved.

Single Stage Proportional Valves 201 Advantages: Simple design Reliable Cost effective Disadvantages: Poor dynamic performance (bandwidth) At high flow rates and bandwidths, large stroking force is needed Large (and expensive) solenoids / torque motors needed.

Servo-Valve 204 23
Feedback spring: 1. Regulates the position of the mainstage by negative feedback on the flapper Servo-Valve 205 Nozzle-flapper pilot valve: 1. Electromagnetic torque motor moves flapper to left (or right) 2. Nozzle and restriction at source form two resistances in series 3. Flapper differentially opens and closes nozzle 4. Pressure increases on side with closed nozzle; decreases on side with open nozzle; creating pressure differential Main stage: 1. Four-way spool valve actuated by differential pressure generated by pilot stage 24
206 Two spool servo valve Main spool consists of two spools one for meter-in, one for meter-out Reduces tolerance requirement Pilot stage is a pressure servo valve Cost effective Bandwidth around 30 Hz See below for a model of such a valve R.

207 Modeling of directional control valve Spool is driven by solenoid (in a single stage valve) or by pilot stage(s) valves xv > 0 (spool moves downward) Assume matched (i.e. supply and return orifices are the same) Critically lapped symmetric, +/- spool displacement give same orifice area Flow conserving load Qin = Qout e.g. double ended cylinder or hydraulic motor 26
D.C. Valve modeling 208 Flow paths: (neglect leakages) xv > 0: Orifices 1 and 3 xv < 0: Orifices 2 and 4 Area of each orifice A1(xv), A2(xv), A3(xv), A4(xv) For xv > 0, [Cd = discharged coeff approx 0.6 (see notes on orifice modeling) Q Q 2 A1( xv ) ( Ps 1) 1 = Cd P 2 A3 ( xv) ( P2 0) 3 = Cd P Q 1 = Q 3 = Q L 27
D.C. Valve Modeling 209 Now the pressure across the load is: P L = P 1 P 2 Area gradient, w, relates orifice area to spool displacement. For circular orifices: w = 2 R Area gradient = w w = da dx A1(xv) = A3(xv) = w * xv A2(xv) = A1(-xv) = -w*xv v ( x v ) Annular orifice land Top view Solve for Q L when A1(xv) = A3(xv) =w xv (matched) to get: Q L 1 ( xv, PL ) = Cd wxv ( Ps PL ) circular Area versus xv Annular 28
DC Valve Modeling 210 Similar analysis for xv < 0: Q L 1 ( xv, PL ) = Cd wxv ( Ps PL ) Normally P L < 0 when xv < 0. Putting formulae for +/- xv together: Load overrun Positive power Q L 1 ( xv, PL ) = Cd wxv ( Ps sgn( xv ) PL ) Flow increases linearly with xv Flow decreases with pressure load Positive power Load overrun 29
211 Effect of lapping / centering For critically lapped (or sometimes called critically centered) valve Orifice is shut when xv = 0. At least one orifice will open when xv!=0 Critically lapped valves are desirable but expensive to make flow is linear with displacement (constant gain) Overlapped (closed centered) valves deadband => un-responsive Underlapped (open centered) valves valve always open => power loss nonlinear gain => more difficult to control 30
Valve Sizing 212 Valves are rated (i.e. their flow rate Q R given) at 1000 Psi pressure drop across the valve. i.e. Flow = Q R is flow when the valve is fully open and with 1000 PSI pressure drop There are two flow orifices (1 and 3) in flow path. It is assumed that pressure drop is 500psi across each orifice. Since one does not always use the valve when there is 1000 Psi pressure drop, one must translate the required flow to the equivalent flow at 1000 Psi. Basic equation: 2 Q L( xv, PL ) = Cd wxmax ( Ps P1 ) 2 Q L( xv, PL ) = Cd wxmax ( P2 P0 ) 31
Valve Sizing 213 At rated condition, Ps - P1= 500Psi, P2 - P0 = 500psi 2 Q L( xv, PL ) = Cd wx max ( Ps P1 ) 2 Q L( xv, PL ) = Cd wx max ( P2 P0 ) Suppose actual operating (Ps-P1) is 700 instead, with required flow Qd, then we would like: So the rated flow should be at least: Q R1 = Q d1 Q d = 500 P P s C wx Similarly, calculate for the return orifice: pick the larger rated flow 1 d max 2 700 Q R= Q d 500 700 Q R = C d wx max 2 500 Pick this when picking valve 32
Valve sizing example 214 Given Ps = 3000 psi; P 0 = 0 psi Load is a 2:1 cylinder, capside A cap = 0.005 m^2. Required extension speed = 1 m/s Load F = 500 lb-f. Step 1: Find Qd1 = speed * Acap.; Qd2 = Qd1/2 Step 2: find P1 and P2 during operating conditions 8F Ps P1 = 2Ps 2F P2 = 9A 9 cap 9A Step 3: find rated flow based on each orifice 9 cap P1 P2 A cap ( 1 2 P P / 2) = F ( P s P1 ) = 2 ( P2 P0 ) F Why? Q R1 = Q d1 500 P P s 1 Q R2 = Q d 2 500 P P 2 0 Q Q R Q R1, R2 33
215 Other component sizing Actuator: stroke: how far does it have to travel? Area: load/pressure or pump-flow/area load can be friction, gravity, brake force, acceleration load etc. Motor: Disp= Q/speed; Disp = Torque/Pressure Pump flow: Supposed actuator area determined by load/pressure Qpump = actuator speed * area (beware of cap versus piston side) Multiple circuits: Add required flows from all circuits add safety factor! Beware of units!!! 34
