摘要

Using electric motors instead of diesel engines as the driving system for mining excavators can reduce the energy consumption and operating costs. However, pure electric-driven mining excavators are prone to unexpected power outages in mines because of drastic changes in load power, leading to significant fluctuations in the power demand of the grid, which in turn affects production. To solve the above problem, a pure electric-driven mining hydraulic excavator based on electric-motor-driven swing platform and hydraulic pumps was used as the research object. Moreover, supercapacitors and DC/DC converter, as the energy storage system (ESS) adjust the output power of the grid and recover the braking kinetic energy of the swing platform. Subsequently, a novel integrated energy management strategy for a DC bus voltage predictive controller based on the power feedforward of fuzzy rules is proposed to run mining excavators efficiently and reliably. Specifically, the working modes of the ESS are determined by the DC bus voltage and state of charge (SOC) of the supercapacitor. Next, the output power of the supercapacitor and the DC bus voltage were controlled by adjusting the charging and discharging currents of the DC/DC converter using a predictive controller and fuzzy rules. In addition, a digital prototype of the excavator was verified using an original machine test. The performance of the different strategies and driven systems were analyzed using digital prototypes. The results showed that, compared with traditional excavators with diesel engines, the operational cost of the developed excavators was reduced by 54.02%. Compared to pure electric-driven excavators without an ESS, the peak power of the grid for the developed excavators was reduced by 10%. This study designed an integrated energy management strategy for a pure electric mining excavator that can regulate the power output of the grid and maintain the stability of the bus voltage and SOC of the ESS.
