Modeling and Concept Evaluation of a Hybrid Drivetrain System

Energy efficiency and performance optimization are two important aspects in any construction and agricultural machine development. Most construction machines are designed for specific tasks and have repetitive work cycles. Analyzing these work cycles from a component level, it is possible to identify various opportunities in a cycle to capture energy that would otherwise have been wasted. This research focuses on strategies to develop a regenerative energy capture system to harness this otherwise wasted energy
