Adaptive Algorithmic Structure for Managing Accuracy and Reliability in Dynamic Electro-Hydraulic Systems
This article proposes an integrated adaptive algorithm to control the accuracy and reliability of linear motion in electrohydraulic systems operating in dynamic modes and external loads. This algorithm has a multilevel parallel structure in which the physical model, extended measurement information, internal adaptive parameters, and the current of measurement and model uncertainties are combined and synchronized within a single loop. The proposed structure allows the real-time extraction of information about hard-to-determine dynamic characteristics of the electrohydraulic process, which is used to maintain consistency between the mathematical model and the actual behavior of the system, including in the case of rapidly changing modes and load variations. In addition, a functional observation layer for assessing the quality of measurement information is introduced, through which the sensitivity of adaptive mechanisms is managed, and the stability of the algorithm is maintained under degraded measurement conditions. Experimental results demonstrate a significant reduction in dynamic error and a sustainable improvement in the quality of tracking relative to a basic electrohydraulic system without algorithmic correction. This confirms the applicability of the proposed approach to real energy and industrial systems.
