Abstract

Improving energy efficiency has important significance for hybrid electric UAVs. This paper aims at improving energy efficiency by maximizing utilization solar energy, reducing demand power and optimizing power allocation. The flight trajectory optimization and energy management are considered synthetically, and the coupled model is established. Adaptive sequential convex programming method (ASCP) is further proposed to solve this coupled model. The adaptive discretization method, fuzzy-based trust region update mechanism and two-stages solving strategy are proposed to improve its optimality and convergence. The optimized flight trajectory and global optimal battery SOC trajectory can be applied to trajectory tracking control and online energy management. Numerical simulation results show that ASCP can improve energy efficiency of hybrid electric UAVs. Compared with uniform discretized sequential convex programming (UDSCP) and Gauss pseudo-spectral method (GPM), it can improve solar energy by 9.3% and 24.1%. Energy management experiment results indicate that ASCP has excellent energy saving effect. Compared with nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC), fuzzy logic state machine (FLSM) and passive energy management strategy (PEMS), it can save hydrogen by 13.5%, 18.3%, and 22.2%, respectively. This work is conducive to promoting the application of renewable energy in UAVs.
