[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0057] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a control system for an aviation hybrid energy system is provided, including: a turboshaft engine module, a generator module, a generator output control module, a backup battery module and a system output monitoring module.
[0058] The turboshaft engine module is used to consume fuel and output mechanical energy. Due to the mechanical structure and characteristics of the turboshaft engine, its throttle curve and output power curve are completely nonlinear and curve relationships, but are fluctuation graphs with step characteristics. The specific graphs are as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0059] The generator module is connected to the engine module to obtain the mechanical energy output by the turboshaft engine module and convert it into electrical energy. In this embodiment, the generator module uses a high power density generator with a power density of 6KW / kg and a comprehensive conversion efficiency of 93.6%.
[0060] The generator output control module is connected to the generator module to detect the power output of the generator and rectify the output current of the generator module. Since the engine speed is not fixed, the output voltage of the generator will change with the engine speed. By setting the generator output control module, the output voltage can be rectified and filtered to output stable direct current, thereby improving the stability of the aircraft system and enhancing the control performance of the aircraft system.
[0061] The backup battery module is connected to the engine output control module to recover and / or compensate for the electric energy output by the generator module. In addition, the backup battery module is also used to provide backup energy for the aircraft. When the turboshaft engine runs out of fuel or fails to drive the generator module to generate electricity, the backup battery module provides electricity to the aircraft, thereby driving the aircraft to maintain flight status. After the turboshaft engine module and the generator module fail to work normally, the aircraft can continue to fly for a period of time with the power support of the backup battery module to achieve a safe landing.
[0062] The system output monitoring module is connected to the generator output control module and the backup battery module to monitor the current total output power of the system.
[0063] Each module in the above-mentioned control system for an aviation hybrid energy system can be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware, or a combination thereof. Each of the above-mentioned modules can be embedded in or independent of a processor in a computer device in the form of hardware, or can be stored in a memory in a computer device in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute operations corresponding to each of the above modules.
[0064] When the control system of the aviation hybrid energy system is working, the turboshaft engine module is ignited and started, consuming fuel to output mechanical energy to drive the generator module to generate alternating current. The electric energy generated by the engine is converted from unstable alternating current to stable direct current through the rectification and filtering functions of the engine output control module, and is transmitted to various functional modules of the aircraft through the circuit to achieve take-off and start the flight mission. In the process of performing the flight mission, due to the nonlinear and step-type output characteristics of the turboshaft engine module, the power output of the generator module is not stable. At this time, the extra power output of the generator can be recovered through the backup battery module, that is, when the output power of the generator module is higher than the actual power of the aircraft, the backup battery module is charged to realize the recovery of the extra electric energy produced by the generator module. When the output power of the generator module is lower than the actual power of the aircraft, the backup battery module is controlled to discharge to supplement the aircraft power consumption that is insufficient to be met by the output power of the generator module. The power recovery or power compensation function of the backup battery module cooperates with the generator module to make the total energy output more stable, so that the aircraft can obtain a sufficiently stable energy supply, extend the endurance time of the aircraft, and comprehensively improve the flight performance of the aircraft. Furthermore, by controlling the backup battery module to supplement or recover the output power of the generator module, the discreteness of the aircraft system can be reduced, and the probability of secondary failure can also be reduced.
[0065] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for an aviation hybrid energy system for controlling the control system for the above-mentioned aviation hybrid energy system. The implementation method for solving the problem provided by the method is similar to the implementation scheme recorded in the above-mentioned method. Therefore, the specific limitations in the embodiment of the control method for an aviation hybrid energy system provided below can be found in the above limitations on the control system for an aviation hybrid energy system, which will not be repeated here.
[0066] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a control method for an aviation hybrid energy system is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0067] S100: Obtain the current output power of the generator.
[0068] Among them, the output power of the generator can be calculated by the current, voltage and other parameters at the input end of the generator output control module, so as to calculate the output power of the generator module, and the current power of the generator can also be calculated by the rotational speed of the output shaft of the turboshaft engine module and / or the input shaft of the generator module.
[0069] S200: Obtain the current total power consumption of the system.
[0070] Among them, the current total power consumption of the system is the total energy consumption power of each energy consumption module of the system. In this embodiment, the current total power consumption of the system is a theoretical value obtained by calculating based on the calibrated power of each energy consumption component of the aircraft, which is a system preset value.
[0071] S300: Compare and determine the magnitude relationship between the current total power consumption of the system and the current output power of the generator.
[0072] Through step S300, it can be determined whether the current output power of the engine can meet the current energy consumption demand of the aircraft.
[0073] S310: If the current total power consumption of the system is greater than the current output power of the generator, the backup battery system is controlled to perform power compensation. The specific method is as follows:
[0074] S311: Obtaining compensated output power according to the current output power of the generator, the current total power consumption of the system and a preset power compensation algorithm.
[0075] The power compensation algorithm is a preset correspondence between the current total power consumption of the system, the current output power of the generator and the output power of the backup battery module. In this embodiment, the generator output power is calculated by calculating the output power of the generator through the output shaft speed of the turboshaft engine module. The power compensation algorithm satisfies W 补偿 =W 耗 -W 涡 =W 耗 -W 电 / n, in this relationship, W 补偿 is the current total power consumption of the system, that is, the current instantaneous energy consumption of the aircraft system, W 涡 is the output power of the turboshaft engine module, W 电 is the output power of the generator module, and n is the energy conversion efficiency between the turboshaft engine module and the generator module, that is, the mechanical efficiency of the generator module.
[0076] Optionally, when the output power of the turboshaft engine module can be directly measured or calculated through parameters such as engine speed and generator speed, the output power of the turboshaft engine module can also be obtained by only using W 补偿 =W 耗 -W 涡 This relationship directly yields the compensation power.
[0077] That is, the compensated output power is obtained through the following steps:
[0078] S321: Obtain the current output power of the turboshaft engine module.
[0079] S322: Obtain the compensated output power according to the current output power of the turboshaft engine module, the current total power consumption of the system and a preset power compensation algorithm.
[0080] S312: Control the backup battery module to compensate for the output power and output electrical energy.
[0081] Switch the backup battery module to discharge mode and control the output power of the backup battery module to adapt to the stepped and fluctuating output characteristics of the turboshaft engine, thereby ensuring smooth total system output and high dynamic output performance.
[0082] S320: If the current total power consumption of the system is less than the current output power of the generator, the backup battery system is controlled to recover power.
[0083] Among them, the backup battery module is switched to charging mode to recover and store the extra electric energy generated by the generator module for subsequent use when power output compensation or the backup battery module is required to supply power alone, thereby improving the flight safety of the aircraft and enabling more efficient use of aircraft fuel.
[0084] S400: Acquire generator speed data.
[0085] S500: Determine whether the generator speed data is lower than a preset warning speed threshold.
[0086] S501: If yes, the system is switched to be powered by the backup battery module.
[0087] Through the above steps S400 to S501, the engine speed can be detected. If the engine speed is too low, the system will determine that the aircraft turboshaft engine module is operating abnormally. At this time, the aircraft's power supply mode is converted to power supply by the backup battery alone, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable output of the aircraft's power, thereby improving the aircraft's flight performance.
[0088] In one embodiment, a computer device is provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein an embedded system program is stored in the memory, and when the processor executes the embedded system program, the following steps are implemented:
[0089] S100: Obtain the current output power of the generator.
[0090] S200: Obtain the current total power consumption of the system.
[0091] S300: Compare and determine the magnitude relationship between the current total power consumption of the system and the current output power of the generator.
[0092] S310: If the current total power consumption of the system is greater than the current output power of the generator, the backup battery system is controlled to perform power compensation;
[0093] The specific method is as follows:
[0094] S311: Obtaining compensated output power according to the current output power of the generator, the current total power consumption of the system, and a preset power compensation algorithm;
[0095] S312: Control the backup battery module to compensate for the output power and output electrical energy.
[0096] S320: If the current total power consumption of the system is less than the current output power of the generator, the backup battery system is controlled to recover power.
[0097] S400: obtaining generator speed data;
[0098] S500: determining whether the generator speed data is lower than a preset warning speed threshold;
[0099] S501: If yes, the system is switched to be powered by the backup battery module.

[0101] S100: Obtain the current output power of the generator.
[0102] S200: Obtain the current total power consumption of the system.
[0103] S300: Compare and determine the magnitude relationship between the current total power consumption of the system and the current output power of the generator.
[0104] S310: If the current total power consumption of the system is greater than the current output power of the generator, control the backup battery system to perform power compensation;
[0105] The specific method is as follows:
[0106] S311: Obtaining compensated output power according to the current output power of the generator, the current total power consumption of the system, and a preset power compensation algorithm;
