Abstract
A hydrostatic transmission consists of a hydraulic pump driving a hydraulic motor, a configuration that is commonly used in construction and agricultural equipment. With a superior power-to-weight ratio and continuously variable transmission capability, an HST is an ideal candidate for a wind turbine drivetrain. To validate the performance of an HST as a wind turbine drivetrain, a novel power regenerative HST dynamometer was successfully designed, constructed, and commissioned. The dynamometer is a multi-domain system, consisting of electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components. Modeling of such multi-energy domains needs a unified and systematic approach. Bond graph modeling is well suited for this complex system. In this paper, a bond graph model of the HST wind turbine and power regenerative dynamometer is developed. The state equations are generated from the bond graph model. The system is ill-conditioned in the limit of incompressibility and no leakage. The input-output coupling is analyzed using the bond graph model.
