Abstract: Kω2 control, also called torque control, is a popular method for maximizing wind turbine power. For hydrostatic wind turbines, torque control becomes pressure control with pc = K′ω2 because pressure is proportional to ...

Abstract: In this paper, a threedimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology to improve the performance of hydraulic components will be shown, highlighting the importance that a study in the fluid mechanics field ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an approach to study a valve's internal fluid dynamics. During operation, the flow causes forces on the spool. These forces must be correctly balanced. Since these forces cannot be measured, a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel method of capturing more energy from the wind using shortterm energy storage in a hydrostatic wind turbine. A hydrostatic transmission (HST) not only provides reliable operation but also enables ...

Abstract: This research presents a lumped parameter numerical model aimed at designing and optimizing an axial piston pump. For the first time, it has been shown that a lumped parameter model can accurately model axial piston pump ...

Abstract: A mathematical modeling approach to determine fluid film thickness on the vane tip in a vane pump transmission is developed. The transmission is based on a double-acting vane pump with an additional output shaft coupled ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of energy management strategies (EMS) with respect to variations in drive cycle and system parameters is considered. The design of three strategies is presented: rulebased, stochastic dynamic programming ...
