[0009] An aircraft hybrid power supply control method, implemented based on an aircraft hybrid power supply system, includes the following steps: Step 1, judge the state of the propeller system. If the propeller system is in a stopped state, go to Step 2; if the propeller system is in an operating state, go to Step 3; set a first power threshold K1, a second power threshold K2, and a third power threshold K3, and K1>K2>K3; Step 2, detect the real-time power soc of the power battery system.

If PM < PS0 + PFC0, then control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0, and supply power jointly through the photovoltaic cell system and the power battery system; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC0, then start the fuel cell system, control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0, and control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC0, and supply power jointly through the photovoltaic cell system, the fuel cell system, and the power battery system; Step 6.4: Start the fuel cell system, control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0, and control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC0, and supply power jointly through the photovoltaic cell system, the fuel cell system, and the power battery system.

Specific implementation manners

[0018] Embodiment 1: An aircraft hybrid power supply system according to this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, includes a power supply bus, and further includes a fuel cell system, a power battery system 5, and a photovoltaic cell system. The fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system are unidirectionally connected in parallel to the power supply bus, so that the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system can only supply power to the power supply bus unidirectionally; the power battery system 5 is bidirectionally connected in parallel to the power supply bus, so that the power battery system 5 can supply power to the power supply bus or draw power from the power supply bus.

[0019] The fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system are unidirectionally connected to the power supply bus, that is, only the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system are allowed to supply power to the power supply bus, and the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system are not allowed to draw power from the power supply bus. By providing the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system, they are used to cooperate with the power battery system 5 for combined power supply, or when the power of the power battery system 5 is insufficient, the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system are used to charge the power battery system 5.

[0020] The fuel cell system includes a fuel cell module 1 and a DC converter 2, and the fuel cell module 1 is connected to the power supply bus through the DC converter 2; the photovoltaic cell system includes a solar photovoltaic panel module 3 and a PV inverter 4, and the solar photovoltaic panel module 3 is connected to the power supply bus through the PV inverter 4.

[0021] The fuel cell module 1 adopts a hydrogen fuel cell module, which is used to convert the chemical energy generated by the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy.

By setting a photovoltaic inverter 4, the maximum efficiency utilization of solar power generation can be achieved, and at the same time, the voltage generated by the solar photovoltaic module 3 can be converted into the working voltage range required by the electronic speed control component 6. The power battery system 5 itself has a certain capacitance and is bidirectionally connected to the power supply bus. Through the power battery system 5, power can be supplied to the power supply bus, and at the same time, the power battery system 5 can also draw power from the power supply bus. The electronic speed control component 6 is used to monitor and control the speed of the motor in the propeller system.

[0022] The propeller system includes a motor 7 and a propeller module 8. The motor 7 is connected to the output end of the electronic speed control component 6, and the output end of the motor 7 is connected to the propeller module 8. The on-board low-voltage power consumption system includes a buck module 9 and an on-board low-voltage power consumption module 10. The low-voltage branch is connected to the on-board low-voltage power consumption module 10 through the buck module 9. The electronic speed control component 6 is used to monitor and control the speed of the motor 7, and drives the propeller module 8 to rotate through the motor 7. At the same time, the output end of the power battery system 5 supplies low-voltage power to the on-board low-voltage power consumption module 10 through the low-voltage branch, and the buck module 9 can convert the voltage output by the power battery system 5 into the working voltage range required by the on-board low-voltage power consumption module 10.

[0023] Embodiment 2: A method for controlling the hybrid power supply of an aircraft according to this embodiment is implemented based on the aircraft hybrid power supply system in Embodiment 1, and includes the following steps: Step 1: Judge the state of the propeller system. If the propeller system is in a stopped state, go to Step 2; if the propeller system is in an operating state, go to Step 3; set a first power threshold K1, a second power threshold K2, and a third power threshold K3, and K1>K2>K3; Step 2: Detect the real-time power soc of the power battery system 5. If soc≥K1, keep the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system in the standby state; if soc<K1, compare the input power PS0 of the photovoltaic cell system with the maximum allowable charging power PB0 of the power battery system 5, and control the photovoltaic cell system to charge the power battery system 5 alone or control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to charge the power battery system 5 together according to the comparison result; Step 3: Detect the real-time power soc of the power battery system 5. If soc<K3, go to Step 4; if K3≤soc≤K2, go to Step 5; if K2<soc<K1, go to Step 6; if soc≥K1, go to Step 7; Step 4, detect the full-machine load power PM and the maximum output power PFC1 of the fuel cell system; if PM ≤ PS0, control the photovoltaic cell system alone or control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the first mode; if PS0 < PM < PS0 + PFC1, control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the second mode; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC1, control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the third mode; Step 5, detect the full-machine load power PM and the maximum output power PFC1 of the fuel cell system; if PM ≤ PS0, control the photovoltaic cell system to supply power alone in the fourth mode; if PS0 < PM < PS0 + PFC1, control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the fifth mode; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC1, control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the sixth mode; Step 6, detect the full-machine load power PM and the maximum output power PFC1 of the fuel cell system; if PM ≤ PS0, control the photovoltaic cell system to supply power alone in the seventh mode; if PS0 < PM < PS0 + PFC1, control the photovoltaic cell system alone or control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the eighth mode; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC1, control the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system to jointly supply power in the ninth mode; Step 7, keep the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system in the standby state.

[0024] For the convenience of explanation, the definitions of the following symbols are given here: SOC represents the real-time power of the power battery system 5; PB0 represents the maximum allowable charging power of the power battery system 5; Pm0 represents the load power of the motor in the propeller system; PS0 represents the input power of the photovoltaic cell system; PS1 represents the output power of the photovoltaic cell system; PFC0 represents the minimum output power of the fuel cell system; PFC1 represents the maximum output power of the fuel cell system; PFC represents the real-time output power of the fuel cell system; Pm1 represents the load power of the on-board low-voltage power consumption system; PM represents the full-machine load power.

[0025] Among them, PB0, PFC0, and PFC1 are fixed values; And 0 ≤ PS1 ≤ PS0; the output power PS1 of the photovoltaic cell system can be adjusted in real time, but the maximum output power PS1 of the photovoltaic cell system does not exceed the input power PS0 of the photovoltaic cell system.

[0026] 0 < PFC0 ≤ PFC ≤ PFC1; The real-time output power PFC of the fuel cell system is between the minimum output power PFC0 and the maximum output power PFC1 of the fuel cell system, and the minimum output power PFC0 of the fuel cell system is not zero.

[0027] PM = Pm0 + Pm1; that is, the total aircraft load power is the sum of the load power of the airborne low-voltage power consumption system and the load power of the motor in the propeller system.

[0028] PFC0 ≤ PB0, which means that when selecting the control system, the minimum output power PFC0 of the fuel cell system should not be greater than the maximum allowable charging power PB0 of the power battery system 5.

[0029] When the propeller system is in the stop state, the total aircraft load power mainly comes from the load power of the airborne low-voltage power consumption system, and the total aircraft load power is small at this time. When the propeller system starts, the total aircraft load power comes from the sum of the load power of the airborne low-voltage power consumption system and the load power of the motor in the propeller system, and the total aircraft load power is large at this time.

[0030] Further, when the aircraft is powered on and the propeller system is in the stop state, it first enters the ground inspection stage. In the ground inspection mode of the aircraft, it needs to prepare for flight. Considering that the power consumption is the largest during the takeoff and climb phase of the aircraft, it is necessary to ensure that the power battery system 5 is fully charged or has a relatively high battery level before takeoff. At this time, step 2 is executed, as Figure 2 shown, the specific steps of step 2 include: Step 2.1, Detect the real-time battery level soc of the power battery system 5; Step 2.2, If soc ≥ K1, where K1 = 98% is taken; it is considered that the current battery level state of the power battery system 5 meets the release requirements of the aircraft, then keep the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system in the standby state to prevent the power battery system 5 from being overcharged, and at the same time supply power to the low-voltage branch through the power battery system 5. If soc < K1, at this time, it is necessary to charge the power battery system 5 through the photovoltaic cell system or the fuel cell system.

[0031] Compare the input power PS0 of the photovoltaic cell system with the maximum allowable charging power PB0 of the power battery system 5, and then transfer to step 2.3; Step 2.3, If PS0 > PB0, then adjust the output power PS1 of the photovoltaic cell system to PS1 = PB0 of the photovoltaic cell system, and charge the power battery system 5 through the photovoltaic cell system; at this time, the photovoltaic cell system is in the state of charging the power battery system 5 and does not consume the energy carried by the aircraft.

[0032] If PS0 ≤ PB0, it is judged whether to start the fuel cell system according to the urgency of the flight mission and the overall aircraft status.

[0033] If the fuel cell system is started, after detecting the minimum output power PFC0 of the fuel cell system, transfer to step 2.4; Step 2.4: If PS0 + PFC0 > PB0, control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC0, and ensure that PFC0 + PS1 = PB0, that is, the fuel cell system operates at the minimum output power, and the output power of the photovoltaic cell system is adjusted to be equal to the difference between the maximum allowable charging power of the power battery system 5 and the minimum output power of the fuel cell system; if PS0 + PFC0 ≤ PB0, control PS1 = PS0, and PFC + PS0 = PB0, that is, keep the output power of the photovoltaic cell system equal to its input power, and the output power of the fuel cell system is equal to the difference between the maximum allowable charging power of the power battery system 5 and the input power of the photovoltaic cell system.

[0034] Furthermore, if soc < K3, where K3 = 40% is taken, it means that the power battery system 5 has a low power level and a small discharge margin, and it is necessary to charge the power battery system 5 at the maximum charging speed; the overall aircraft energy consumption is moderate, and it is necessary for the fuel cell system and the photovoltaic cell system to generate electricity simultaneously to meet the overall aircraft energy consumption requirements. At this time, execute step 4, as Figure 3 shown, the specific steps of step 4 include: Step 4.1: Detect the overall aircraft load power PM, the maximum output power PFC1 of the fuel cell system, and the maximum allowable charging power PB0 of the power battery system 5; if PM ≤ PS0, transfer to step 4.2; if PS0 < PM < PS0 + PFC1, transfer to step 4.3; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC1, transfer to step 4.4; Step 4.2: If PS0 > PB0 + PM, control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PM + PB0, and supply power to the power battery system 5 by controlling the photovoltaic cell system alone; if PS0 ≤ PB0 + PM, start the fuel cell system, detect the minimum output power PFC0 of the fuel cell system, if PFC0 + PS0 > PB0 + PM, control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC0 and PS1 + PFC0 = PB0 + PM, and supply power to the power battery system 5 jointly by the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system; if PFC0 + PS0 ≤ PB0 + PM, control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0 and PFC + PS0 = PB0 + PM, and supply power to the power battery system 5 jointly by the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system; Step 4.3: Start the fuel cell system. If PFC0 + PS0 > PB0 + PM, then control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC0 and PS1 + PFC0 = PB0 + PM, and supply power to the power battery system 5 through the combined operation of the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system; if PFC0 + PS0 ≤ PB0 + PM, then control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0 and PFC + PS0 = PB0 + PM, and supply power to the power battery system 5 through the combined operation of the photovoltaic cell system and the fuel cell system. Step 4.4: Start the fuel cell system, control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC1 and control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0 for combined power supply, reduce the rotation speed of the propeller system, so that PM + PB0 ≤ PFC + PS0.

[0035] Furthermore, if K3 ≤ soc ≤ K2, where K2 = 80% and K3 = 40% are taken here. It means that the power of the power battery system 5 is moderate and the discharge margin is appropriate, and the power balance of the power battery system 5 should be ensured; the overall energy consumption of the machine is small, and the power generation power of the photovoltaic cell system can meet the overall energy consumption requirements of the machine. At this time, execute Step 5, as Figure 3 shown, the specific steps of the said Step 5 include: Step 5.1: If PM ≤ PS0, then go to Step 5.2; if PS0 < PM < PS0 + PFC1, then go to Step 5.3; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC1, then go to Step 5.4; Step 5.2: Control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PM, and supply power through the combined operation of the photovoltaic cell system and the power battery system 5; Step 5.3: Start the fuel cell system. If PM < PS0 + PFC0, then control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC0 and PS1 + PFC0 = PM, and supply power through the combined operation of the photovoltaic cell system, the fuel cell system, and the power battery system 5; if PM ≥ PS0 + PFC0, then control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0 and PFC + PS0 = PM, and supply power through the combined operation of the photovoltaic cell system, the fuel cell system, and the power battery system 5; Step 5.4: Start the fuel cell system, control the output power of the photovoltaic cell system PS1 = PS0 and control the real-time output power of the fuel cell system PFC = PFC1, and supply power through the combined operation of the photovoltaic cell system, the fuel cell system, and the power battery system 5.

[0036] Furthermore, if K2 < soc < K1, where K1 = 98% and K2 = 80% are taken here.
