描述了无人机混合动力电力推进系统的电源管理。三个电力推进系统与不同的电源，即太阳能电池，燃料电池和电池被认为是。每个电源在Matlab/Simulink中建模并集成到电力系统中。对于燃料电池和蓄电池，通过仿真结果与现有无人机飞行试验结果的比较，验证了仿真过程。研究了两种类型的功率控制逻辑：无源和有源。被动电源管理仿真表明，每个电源及其集成系统的行为是足够的整个飞行包线。此外，主动电源管理仿真表明，主动电源管理产生更有效的功率分配和更好的系统安全性比被动电源管理。此外，混合电力系统的功率模拟允许估计电源的输出行为。因此，它可以是一个有价值的工具，为发展的功率控制逻辑，确保有效的功率分配。
Power managements of a UAV's hybrid electric propulsion systems are described. Three electric propulsion systems with different power sources, i.e. solar cells, fuel cells, and batteries are considered. Each power source is modeled in Matlab/Simulink and integrated into the power system. For fuel cells and batteries, the simulation process is verified via comparison between the simulation results and available flight test results of UAVs. Two types of power control logics are investigated: passive and active. The passive power management simulation shows that the behavior of each power source and its integrated system is adequate for the overall flight envelope. In addition, the active power management simulation demonstrates that active power management yields more efficient power distribution and better system safety than passive power management does. Also, a power simulation of a hybrid electric power system allows for estimation of the output behavior of the power source. Therefore, it can be a valuable tool for development of a power control logic that ensures efficient power distribution.
