For this reason, the aviation industry is vigorously conducting feasibility studies on the use of new energy as the main power of aircraft. With the development and progress of new energy technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, power electronic devices, generators / drive motors, domestic and foreign aviation research and development institutions have invested in exploring the application of various innovative configurations of distributed electric propulsion aircraft in military and civilian fields.

[0004] Hybrid electric propulsion aircraft can adapt to the aircraft's design requirements for multiple engine states through the combination of engines and energy storage devices (lithium batteries, generators), meeting the aircraft's requirements for high power at takeoff and low fuel consumption at cruising. The engine operating state of hybrid electric propulsion aircraft is not affected by environmental changes and can always maintain stable operation in the optimal working area.

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] The embodiment of the present invention proposes a distributed electric propulsion aircraft hybrid power system architecture design method based on a power flow matrix, referring to Figure 1 , the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1. Define the typical mission profile of a distributed electric propulsion hybrid aircraft and decompose the typical mission profile into mission segments.

[0049] In this step, based on user requirements and combined with the overall aircraft design experience, the core overall design requirement parameters of the distributed electric propulsion hybrid aircraft are preliminarily defined: design gross weight, flight speed, range, mission payload, and flight altitude.

[0054] Mission h_begin =[h takeoff h takeoff h cruise h cruise h landing ] T (2)

Its function expression is:

[0063]

[0064] In formula (6), T is the total thrust, V is the aircraft speed, D is the drag, h is the flight altitude, W is the aircraft gravity, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

[0065] According to the definition of formula (6), combined with formula (2)-formula (5), the power required by the distributed electric propulsion hybrid aircraft under different mission segments is given, which can be specifically expressed as:

[0066]

[0067] In formula (7), P m_segi,req is the required power matrix at each mission stage, μ is the friction coefficient between the landing gear and the ground during take-off and landing, m is the mass of the distributed electric propulsion hybrid aircraft, θ is the flight path angle of the distributed electric propulsion hybrid aircraft, v is the aircraft speed, CL is the lift coefficient of the whole aircraft, C D is the drag coefficient of the whole aircraft, ρ is the atmospheric density, and S is the wing area.

[0068] S3. Construct a hybrid power system architecture, define an ideal power distribution matrix between components based on the component connection relationship in the hybrid power system architecture, and define the power efficiency transfer matrix of each component under different task segments.

[0069] This embodiment uses Figure 3 Taking the hybrid power system architecture of distributed electric propulsion aircraft as an example, a series hybrid distributed electric drive architecture with lithium batteries is defined. The hybrid distributed electric drive architecture includes 2 energy sources (batteries and fuel), 5 power sources (1 turboshaft engine, 4 sets of generators / drive motors), and 4 thrust sources (4 propulsion propellers).

[0070] The relationship between the various components of the hybrid power system of the distributed electric propulsion aircraft is as follows: the distributed electric propulsion hybrid power aircraft is driven by four propeller thrust sources to meet the power requirements of each mission segment; the four propellers are driven by four sets of motors respectively; the turboshaft engine and the battery drive the four sets of motors at the same time; and the fuel provides energy for the turboshaft engine.

[0071] According to the relationship between the components of the hybrid power system of the distributed electric propulsion aircraft, the ideal power distribution matrix between the mission required power and the propeller thrust source is defined:

[0072] B req,TS,m_segi =[λ req,TS1,m_segi λ req,TS2,m_segi λ req,TS3,m_segi λ req,TS4,m_segi ] (8)

[0081] The efficiency of each component of the hybrid power system of a distributed electric propulsion aircraft needs to be considered during power transmission, and the efficiency in different mission segments is also different. Therefore, the efficiency matrix of each component of the hybrid power system of a distributed electric propulsion aircraft in different mission segments is defined:
