Claim 15:
16. A method for controlling a fluid flow in a hydraulic system, the hydraulic system including a first hydraulic pump and a second hydraulic pump, the first and second hydraulic pumps configured in a parallel flow configuration to provide hydraulic fluid to a linear hydraulic actuator that controls a load, each of the first and second hydraulic pumps including at least one prime mover and a fluid displacement assembly to be driven by the at least one prime mover, the method comprising:
placing the first hydraulic pump in a lead mode;
placing the second hydraulic pump in a backup mode;
initiating operation of the first hydraulic pump; and
controlling at least one of a speed and a torque of the first hydraulic pump to exclusively adjust at least one of a fluid flow based on a flow feedback signal or a pressure based on a pressure feedback signal in the hydraulic system to an operational set point.
