Economic and theoretical study of the power supply from a pump-battery based on a discharge machine

Abstract

The article discusses the control system of a hydraulic power source of constant pressure, which is a pump-storage power source, equipped with the original design of the automatic unloading of the hydraulic pump, which provides relay switching of its operation mode. A mathematical model is proposed, obtained using a modeling technique based on the application of the theory of volumetric rigidity of hydraulic systems and their elements. The results of a numerical experiment carried out by numerically solving the equations that make up the mathematical model of a power source are also presented. As a result of a numerical experiment, the main technical capabilities of the considered power source and the influence of its main structural parameters and functional features of the system on operational properties are revealed. The results showed that due to changes in various design parameters of the unloading machine, you can not only change the upper (maximum) and lower (minimum) values of the battery charging pressure, but also adjust their difference depending on the requirements for the power source.
