Studies on a 20-ton hydraulic excavator show that the energy that can be potentially regenerated during one duty cycle from the boom, arm, bucket, and swing is as high as 260.4 kJ [3]. For a typical excavator truck-loading cycle, research shows that without energy regeneration the overall efficiency of the centralized system is as low as 22.5% [4].
