Performance Comparison of Displacement and Speed Control in Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator

In recent years, power by wire (PBW) technique is developed in the European and American aviation field, and one of its important bases is electro-hydrostatic servo technique. In this paper, speed controlled and displacement controlled electro-hydrostatic actuation systems are modeled and simulated, by comparing their Bode graphics and time-zone respond curves, which shows that displacement control has small load inertia and high gain, so its dynamic performance is better. Thus, conclusion can be drawn that speed-displacement composite control may indeed improve the dynamic performance of electro-hydrostatic actuator.
