Abstract

The present disclosure is related to an energy recovery system for a machine having an implement. The energy recovery system includes a linear actuator configured to move the implement and an accumulator configured to selectively collect pressurized fluid from the linear actuator. The energy recovery system includes a first control valve configured to regulate a capacity of the accumulator, a second control valve fluidly disposed between the accumulator and the linear actuator, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a first level capacity of the accumulator based on a condition of a terrain traversable by the machine during a travel segment. The controller is configured to control the first control valve to set the capacity of the accumulator based on the determined first level capacity prior to the travel segment.
