SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING DRIVETRAIN EFFICIENCY FOR COMPRESSED GAS ENERGY STORAGE

摘要

Generally, the invention relates to power generation and energy storage. In particular, to systems and methods for providing constant power from hydraulic inputs having widely-varying pressures. More particularly, the invention relates to hydraulic-pneumatic energy storage and recovery systems that include either a fixed or variable displacement hydraulic motor and control systems that allow a user to maintain constant power from the fixed or variable displacement hydraulic motor.
