Abstract:To achieve stable control of the hybrid propulsion system of an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) under transient operating conditions, and considering the continuously changing external environment during flight, an energy flow analysis model was established based on a parallel hybrid propulsion system platform. The model was experimentally verified in a high-altitude environment simulation chamber across climbing, cruising, and descending phases. The results indicate that: during the climb phase, the total system power demand is positively correlated with the climb rate; the motor can rapidly respond to compensate for the power deficit, and the total system energy consumption decreases with increasing altitude, with the hybrid propulsion system saving 37.06% energy compared to a conventional fuel-powered propulsion system. During the cruise phase, the system maintains a stable engine speed while adapting to reduced power demand caused by environmental variations. In the descent phase, the system achieves a stable transition through smooth speed regulation. The established energy flow analysis model provides data and theoretical support for achieving comprehensive energy management of hybrid propulsion systems.
