Development of Speed Control System for Hydraulic Viscous Clutch

alt text 

National Defense Science and Industry Bureau Fundamental Research Project  |  2022.09 – 2023.12
Abstract: The hydraulic viscous clutch exhibits strong nonlinearity and large hysteresis characteristics due to the coupled effects of input speed, lubricant temperature, pressure, and other factors. Under disturbances such as engine speed fluctuations and environmental variations, conventional linear control methods struggle to adapt effectively, resulting in limited speed regulation range, significant output speed fluctuations, and intense torque shocks. To address these challenges, the project develops a multi-parameter cooperative precision speed control method that enhances dynamic response and operational stability under complex operating conditions, expands the effective speed regulation range, suppresses speed fluctuations and torque shocks, and achieves smooth stepless speed regulation along with precise thermal management of the power compartment.
Responsibilities: Responsible for modeling and characteristic analysis of the hydraulic viscous speed regulation system based on experimental data, and for refining and optimizing the multi-parameter coupling model; proposed a three-loop cooperative control strategy integrating water temperature, oil pressure, and rotational speed; also undertook the writing of project conclusion materials, organization of experimental results, and consolidation of research outcomes.

Master's Thesis  |  2023
Abstract: Taking the energy-storage hydraulic wind turbine generator system as the research object, this thesis analyzes the operating principles and control requirements of the unit, establishes mathematical models and state-space equations for the wind turbine and main transmission system, and evaluates the effects of multi-source disturbances on torque and active power. A Fuzzy-PID control strategy is proposed to achieve intelligent grid-connected speed regulation. Sliding mode control combined with an RBF neural network is introduced for autonomous compensation and fast active power control, while an energy storage subsystem is incorporated to enhance control responsiveness. The feasibility and control accuracy of the proposed strategies under multiple disturbances are validated on a 30 kW hydraulic wind power experimental platform, providing experimental support for intelligent active power control of hydraulic wind turbine generator systems.
