Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated method for high energy efficiency planning and management based on hydrogen energy UAV, which solves the problems of autonomous and safe flight in highly dynamic and complex flight environments, energy-saving optimization and control of hybrid UAVs, and high energy efficiency integration. Background Art

[0002] Drones have been widely used in many fields. However, when performing long-range flight missions such as power inspection, search and reconnaissance, and environmental monitoring, traditional lithium battery-driven drones still have great limitations in terms of range and endurance. The emergence of hydrogen-powered drones provides a better solution for long-flight missions. Currently, hydrogen-powered drones are mainly hybrid drones driven by hydrogen fuel cells and lithium batteries. Hydrogen fuel cells can output high power for a long time, but the power response is slow. Therefore, lithium batteries are usually used as auxiliary power sources to cope with sudden changes in power demand. Compared with traditional drones, hydrogen-powered hybrid drones have significantly improved endurance and can support a variety of long-range flight missions. For existing hydrogen drones, the planning and control methods can be further optimized to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Current research focuses on drone trajectory planning and hybrid drive system energy management. When a UAV performs an autonomous flight mission, it is necessary to plan a reference flight trajectory for it in advance. On the one hand, the trajectory must meet basic requirements such as safety and smoothness. On the other hand, the performance of the reference flight trajectory directly affects the energy consumption of the UAV when performing the flight mission. Therefore, on the basis of meeting the feasibility, designing a high-efficiency trajectory planning method for hydrogen-powered UAVs is crucial for long-duration flight of UAVs. The hybrid power system requires an energy management strategy (EMS) to reasonably allocate power to meet the power demand. Global optimization can provide a global optimization solution but cannot cope with real-time sudden power changes. Online optimization can obtain the required power in real time and solve the instantaneous optimal solution. However, the step-by-step execution of trajectory planning and energy management only realizes decoupled optimization, and the planning information is not fully utilized. Therefore, by introducing planning information into the management layer to provide reference guidance, the coordinated optimization of trajectory planning and energy management is achieved, which provides a potential effective solution for further reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency.

[0003] At present, the research on trajectory planning mainly focuses on finding a safe and feasible shortest path, and there is less research on the planning of high-efficiency trajectories. The document "Teach-Repeat-Replan: A Complete and Robust System for Aggressive Flight in Complex Environments" adopts a trajectory planning method based on safe channels and Bezier curves to transform the trajectory shortest time optimization problem into a second-order cone programming problem, which greatly simplifies the solution process of polynomial trajectories. At the same time, current trajectory planning and energy management are usually carried out step by step through decoupling. Patent No. CN201910471374.4 proposes an energy control method for a hybrid propulsion system of a UAV based on flight data. It uses clustering algorithms and BP neural networks to realize power prediction for different flight stages, realizes global planning for different flight stages, and uses particle swarm algorithms to achieve instantaneous optimal control in real-time energy management; however, this method only collects historical flight data for model training, and does not take into account trajectory planning information. Patent No. CN202211181365.X proposes an energy management method for a ground unmanned aerial vehicle platform. The invention designs a complete set of unmanned driving controllers that can realize path planning and energy management, and introduces planning information into energy management, and uses the total mileage of the planned path to realize the correction and charging of the power generation power; however, this method does not use more sufficient trajectory information to guide energy optimization, and does not achieve true collaborative optimization.

[0004] In summary, existing UAVs lack high-energy-efficiency optimization and control capabilities in highly dynamic and complex flight environments and long-duration flight missions. It is urgent to overcome the problem of integrated high-energy-efficiency planning and management of hydrogen-powered UAVs under autonomous flight missions. Summary of the invention

[0035] In the global energy allocation, a global SOC planning method is used to plan a globally optimized SOC reference trajectory. First, a cost function is established with the minimum hydrogen consumption in the entire period as the optimization goal. Secondly, constraint conditions are established based on the power device limitations in the hybrid system. Finally, the optimization problem of the energy allocation is as follows:

Therefore, in a highly dynamically changing flight environment, the extended Kalman filter method is used to estimate the parameters and update the fuel cell model in real time.

The equivalent hydrogen consumption is , where the equivalent hydrogen consumption of lithium battery is , is the equivalent factor. Based on the fuel cell parameters identified by the extended Kalman filter, the optimization problem of the adaptive equivalent hydrogen consumption minimum strategy can be constructed as follows:

Aiming at the defects and shortcomings of existing UAVs in terms of endurance anxiety in highly dynamic and complex flight environments and long-duration flight missions and low energy efficiency in existing decoupled trajectory planning and energy management methods, an energy-saving trajectory planning based on B-spline curves is designed, which provides a safe, feasible and energy-efficient flight trajectory for UAVs, and realizes high-energy-efficiency flight of UAVs in autonomous flight missions; furthermore, an online energy management method based on SOC reference trajectory is designed, which uses the planned trajectory information to generate a globally optimized SOC reference trajectory, providing global guidance for online management, and the use of adaptive online energy management strategies can cope with real-time power mutations and environmental changes.
