Abstract
The aim of the present master’s thesis is to develop a control logic for an existing regenerative damper to be used on commercial automotive suspensions. In a conventional suspension, the excitation due the unevenness of the road profile causes the kinetic energy to be stored in a spring. Then, the energy is released in the external environment by means of a damper, which dissipates it in the form of heat. In consideration of the current, growing concern for pollution and fuel consumption reduction even the kinetic energy released by a passive suspension is worth to be recovered. For this reason, car manufacturers are encouraging the development of regenerative suspension systems, which can convert the dynamic oscillation into electric power to be stored in the battery or to be used to actively control the suspension itself.
This thesis deals with a suspension system equipped with a motor-pump group that exploits the oil flow caused by the piston moving in its tube to start a hydraulic pump
