Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a blended or hybrid power system with increased operating efficiency. The blended power system combines the advantages of electrical power with the advantages of hydraulic power when delivering power to a hydraulic actuator. The hydraulic power provides higher power density and the electrical power provides high efficiency and control accuracy in the blended power system. In a blended power system, a control system may be configured to select different modes of operation based on the loads encountered in the combined hydraulic and electrohydrostatic system. The blended power system also allows for smooth and uninterrupted transitions between the different modes of operation within the blended power system. Thus, jerkiness in the blended power system may be minimized or eliminated.
