An algorithm for the determination of the control parameters of a multisource drive system

This article presents an application of the kinetostatic method. The kinetostatic method is a universal method for determining optimum control of unit components in a multisource drive system with regard to selected energetic or ecological criteria. The method’s algorithm and mathematical models for components with descriptions are presented. Example results of this method when applied to a hydrostatic multisource drive system composed of hydrostatic transmission, gas-loaded accumulator and IC engine as the primary source of energy, are presented.
