1. Hydraulic system of batery driven miniexcavator

   The design of the hydraulic system of the miniexcavator driven by electric accumulators. This original design will be based on analyse of hydraulic systems of excavators driven by diesel engines.The machine will enable operation in places where demanding conditions of ecological operation process must be kept: no motor emissions, low noise and reduced wholesale ballast of ecology – in hospitals, residential houses etc. A global design will include progressive methods of energy consumption lowering as e. g. recovery of potential energy, load-sensing etc.

2. Simulation model of hydraulic system of batery driven miniexcavator

   The simulation model of the hydraulic system of the miniexcavator driven by electric accumulators will be created in program system Matlab/Simulink. The modeů will be based on analyze of hydraulic systems of excavators driven by diesel engine. A global model will include models of energy consumption lowering as e. g. recovery of potential energy, load- sensing etc.
