Abstract
A hydraulic power control system for a work machine is provided. The system may include a hydraulic power output device selected from the group consisting of a hydraulic motor and a work implement hydraulic actuator. The system may also include a variable displacement hydraulic pump configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic power output device. The system may further include at least one pressure sensor configured to measure pressure of the hydraulic fluid at a location between the pump and the hydraulic power output device. In addition, the system may include at least one temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the system. The system may include a controller configured to control a displacement of the pump based on a pressure measurement of the at least one pressure sensor and a temperature measurement of the at least one temperature sensor.
