Recent Development and Application of the Hydrostatic Transmission System

Abstract

This paper presents a review on the recent development of hydrostatic transmission system and its applications. A hydrostatic transmission is used for transmission of energy with infinite transmission ratio. The hydrostatic transmission classification, application in automobiles, wind turbines have been discussed. Various hydrostatic transmission circuits have been added in order to understand the applications in different field. This paper also reviews method and designing of recent studies on hydrostatic transmission system. A simplified model has been considered to study the performance of the system. The simulation has been carried out in Matlab Simulink environment. The simulation result clearly shows that by using an accumulator the overall efficiency has been increased and reaches maximum about 94.2% without considering the internal leakages.
