Imagine a system with a pump driven by a speed-controlled electric motor. What and how much can be gained by using a pump with discretely variable displacement instead of a conventional fixed pump in such a system? This question is the focus in this paper, in which a simulation study based on a drive cycle for a loader crane is presented. The results indicate that the system efficiency from inverter input to pump output can increase by a few percentages. This might be considered small in relation to the increasing complexity that comes with discrete displacement. However, the results also show that a system with discrete displacement substantially reduces torque and cooling requirements on the electric motor. The required maximum torque can be reduced by 30 to 50 % and the motor can generate up to 40 % less heat since it can work in more efficient conditions. These potential benefits will be obtained with only a few discrete displacement settings available.
