A Novel Energy Recovery System Integrating Flywheel and Flow Regeneration for a Hydraulic Excavator Boom System

Implementing an energy recovery system (ERS) is an effective solution to improve energy efficiency for hydraulic excavators (HEs). A flywheel energy recovery system (FERS) is proposed based on this concept. A hydraulic pump motor (PM) is employed as the energy conversion component and a flywheel is...
