Abstract

As a response to the strict government emissions regulations, hybridisation of non-road mobile machinery is required. In this paper, behaviour and efficiency of a hybrid mining loader is studied. The full prototype with implemented DDH (Direct Driven Hydraulics) units had been built; however, its performance was unsatisfactory – a large undershoot and steady-state error of 34 % persisted. Therefore, a new control strategy was suggested to overcome the issues. Performance of the system was enhanced by applying a fuzzy PID controller. As a result, reference tracking was significantly improved compared to the conventional PID control case and steady-state error of 1 % was achieved, while the overall efficiency was kept high in the range of above 50%.
