Abstract
Provided is a system and method to generate and control hydraulic fluid flow that exceeds the fluid flow capacity of an electrically driven pump to achieve high actuator retraction/extension speeds and/or electrical flow capacity of an electrical storage system to better control electrical storage. Electric machines and hydraulic pumps generally have a maximum speed beyond which they cannot be operated at. Further, electrical storage systems typically have storage capacities and rates beyond which they cannot be operated at. While an alternate approach could be to increase the hydraulic pump displacement, thus lowering the required electric machine and pump speed to generate a certain flow, it is typically desirable to reduce pump displacement in order to reduce required electric machine torque and minimize component size and losses.
