Abstract:

This paper presents a modeling approach based on Bond Graph (BG) method for offshore hydraulic crane focusing on its hydraulic system characteristics. A hydraulic library is built in the modeling software tool 20-sim using BG elements. The hydraulic submodels are designed according to one specific type of offshore crane, however, they can be easily modified and reused for other similar systems. BG method is a modelling technique for modeling of complex system by describing the energy flow inside the physical system. One of the main benefits of modeling using BG for the hydraulic system is the model provide interfaces to systems of other domains, for example, cooling system, mechanical model, control unit, etc. In this paper it is shown how an integrated BG model of the hydraulic system for a knuckle boom crane is derived and used for simulation. The simulation results proved the validation and effectiveness of the presented modeling approach for simulation of multi-domain systems.
