In a traditional hydraulic elevator, elevator car is descended by down control valve, and the oil hydraulic energy must be lost during the descending stroke. In this paper, hybrid type energy saving unit for a hydraulic elevator is researched to save the hydraulic energy which is lost during the descending stroke. The energy is stored as converted electrical energy, and the saved energy is reused as the auxiliary power for the ascending stroke of elevator car or the main power of other parts. The results show that the output characteristics are stable and good and the research is successful and useful to reuse the saved energy during the descending stroke of elevator car.

Development of a extra-large hydraulic breaker, which could be used for a 100 ton-class excavator were carried out Hot-firing tests were carried out. Before designing a hydraulic breaker, the analysis method to predict the performance such as impact energy and impact rate were studied. Based on the analysis result, the design and manufacture of a extra-large hydraulic breaker were performed, and the breaker were confirmed to operate successfully. The data of impact energy and impact rate were measured during the operation of the breaker, and were compared with the analysis result. The analysis result of impact rate anticipated well the test data, but that of impact energy showed a large difference with the test data. The extra-large hydraulic breaker were successfully developed and the analysis method of impact energy will be updated taking into account friction, hydraulic circuit, etc.

An electric excavator consumes battery energy to drive an electric motor attached to a hydraulic pump to generate hydraulic power. In a conventional hydraulic excavator, the hydraulic pump is controlled by regulators, which are used to optimize the diesel engine efficiency. Because of a lack of battery energy capacity, an electric excavator controller should consider not only the electric motor efficiency but also the hydraulic pump efficiency. Thus, electric motor and hydraulic pump efficiency maps were constructed. An optimal operating map (OOM) was created based on the most efficient operating points under each input condition. An integrated control algorithm controlled the speed of the electric motor and displacement of the hydraulic pump according to the OOM. To confirm the utility of this algorithm, a model-in-the-loop simulator for the algorithm with an electric excavator was established. The simulation results showed that the integrated control algorithm improved the energy efficiency of an electric excavator.

A new energy conversion system which converts wind energy directly to heat instead of transforming it to electric power beforehand is suggested in this study. The new energy conversion system is composed of two big parts divided by their functions. One of them is a wind turbine part, and another is the heat energy conversion part. The object of this study is confined only to the heat energy conversion part, so the wind turbine is replaced with an electric motor for the convenience of experiment. In the experimental process, pressure difference at the hydraulic pump, revolution speed of the hydraulic pump, temperature at a few points on the oil circuit and the water circuit are measured at time intervals of five minutes. And integral values of input energy to the system and stored energy in the system is investigated.

유압프레스의 단점을 극복하기 위해서 서보모트를 장착하여 성형속도를 높인 서보 유압프레스를 개발하게 되었으며, 특히나 서보모터를 국내산으로 적용하여 듀얼형으로 유압시스템의 효율성을 높여 최종적으로 개발함으로써 서보 유압프레스를 완전 국산화하였다. 또한 하사점 위치 제어의 용이성을 확보하기 위해 프레스 램용 메인 실린더에 톱니나사부를 만들어 임의의 위치에 정지할 수 있는 정지정도 및 하사점 위치 제어정밀도를 향상시켰으며, 유량의 미세 제어를 통해 프레스 램의 동작성을 개선코자 하였다. 다이쿠션은 메인 실린더와의 연계 제어를 통해 제품의 손상 방지 및 제품 추출의 용이성을 확보하였으며, 소재의 종류나 제품의 형상 특성에 따라 프리모션 제어가 가능한 지식기반형 자율제어 시스템을 적용하였다. 듀얼 서보시스템과 유압펌프가 연계구동함에 따라 기존 유압프레스 보다 약 40%이상의 에너지절감을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 예측되며, 현재 에코머신 인증제도에 대한 논의가 활발한 시점에서 매우 적합하고 필요한 하이브리드형 서보 유압프레스의 국산화 개발 사례라고 하겠다.

In order to reduce energy consumption, secondary controlled system has been applied to many types of equipments. In lifting equipments or press machines using hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic transformer is used as a control component instead of a valve for motion control and a component for recovering potential energy of load. The transformer is a combination of a variable displacement pump/motor as a secondary controlled element and a fixed displacement pump/motor. In this paper the effect of transformer is studied. Multiple closed loop controllers with displacement feedback of variable pump/motor, speed feedback and position feedback of cylinder are used. The efficiency and energy consumption when cylinder is driven up and down is calculated by simulation. Simulation results show that considerable energy saving is achieved by choosing load ratio, circuit type and supply pressure.
