Description
Technical Field
[0001] This document relates to the field of electric aircraft technology, and in particular to a method and system for evaluating the reachability of electric aircraft based on quasi-static electrical discharge discreteness. Background Technology
[0002] Medium or large electric aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and manned flight capability, especially winged electric aircraft which can achieve efficient and high-speed flight during the cruise phase based on the aerodynamic characteristics of their wings, hold promise for future urban air mobility and low-altitude commuting. During low-altitude flight, to ensure safe flight and avoidance of buildings, other non-cooperative aircraft, and other static or dynamic no-fly zones, it is necessary to quickly assess the reachability of the electric aircraft based on its current available energy state, thus providing a reference for online replanning of flight missions. However, existing numerical simulation or optimization methods for analyzing the reachability of electric aircraft suffer from time-consuming processes and difficulty in convergence, making them unsuitable for the rapid demands of urban air mobility. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This specification provides one or more embodiments of a method for evaluating the reachability of electric aircraft based on quasi-static energy discreteness, including:
[0004] S1. Quasi-static dimensionality reduction transformation is performed on the dynamic model of electric aircraft. Based on the quasi-static assumption, the dynamic equations of electric aircraft are simplified and decoupled into kinematic equations in the horizontal plane and equation constraints for thrust balance and lift-weight balance. The dimension of state variables is reduced to obtain a dimensionality-reduced flight dynamic model.
[0005] S2. Perform energy discretization on the reduced-dimensional flight dynamics model, transforming the dynamic equations relative to time into the form relative to energy consumption values, and determine the simulation interval and discrete grid;
[0006] S3. Based on the reduced-dimensional flight dynamics model, by setting the roll angle numerical sequence, numerical integration simulation is performed on the simulation interval and discrete grid to obtain the boundary of the horizontal maneuverable domain of the electric aircraft.
[0007] Furthermore, the dynamic equations of an electric aircraft are as follows:
[0008]
[0009] Among them, the state variables include altitude h, longitudinal distance x and lateral distance y relative to the starting point, velocity V, track inclination angle γ and track deviation angle χ; the control variables and external forces include roll angle σ, thrust T, aerodynamic drag D and lift L; other parameters include gravitational acceleration g and total mass of the aircraft m;
[0010] The thrust T in the above equation is provided by the electrodynamic system, and this process is described by the following electrodynamic system equations:
[0011]
[0012] Among them, Q B Q consumes power for the battery max I represents the total capacity of a single battery cell. B U is the battery load current. B R is the battery output voltage. B U is the internal resistance of the battery. OC N is the open-circuit voltage. S and N P β1, β2, β3, β4 are the number of cells connected in series and parallel in the battery pack, respectively; SOC is the state of charge of the battery; [β1, β2, β3, β4] are all constants; I M R is the motor current, ν is the motor controller duty cycle, and R is the motor current. M K is the internal resistance of the motor. E Let L be the back electromotive force constant of the motor, ω be the rotational speed of the motor-propeller shaft, and L be the rotational speed of the propeller shaft. M K is the motor inductance. T J is the motor torque constant. M Let C be the moment of inertia of the motor shaft. Q D is the propeller torque coefficient. P J is the propeller diameter. P The moment of inertia of the propeller;
[0013] Introducing the quasi-static assumption, the electric aircraft is in a trim state at all times during flight, with constant speed and altitude, V = V0. C h = h C γ = 0, and V C h C Since all are constant values, equation (1) can be simplified as follows:
[0014]
[0015] Equation (3) can be further decoupled into two parts, which are the kinematic equations of the electric aircraft in the horizontal plane:
[0016]
[0017] And to maintain the drag balance and lift-weight balance equation constraints at a given speed and height; due to mass and speed V C Since neither of them is zero, the fourth and fifth fractions of equation (3) can be simplified as follows:
[0018]
[0019] Furthermore, the aircraft's trim drag is calculated based on the lift and drag expressions and the relationships under trim conditions:
[0020] For an electric aircraft with a wing configuration, lift and drag can be expressed as:
[0021]
[0022] Among them, S R For reference area, C L and C D These are the lift coefficient and drag coefficient, respectively, where α is the angle of attack and C is the drag coefficient. L0 C La C D0 Both k and k are constants;
[0023] Given the roll angle σ and the total mass m of the aircraft, the required lift and lift coefficient are respectively:
[0024]
[0025] Therefore, the corresponding drag coefficients and the required resistance to balance can be obtained as follows:
[0026]
[0027] Therefore, based on the thrust-resistance balance relationship in equation (5), it can be known that D in equation (8) is the total balancing thrust T.
[0028] Furthermore, the propeller equilibrium speed that satisfies the trim thrust and propeller thrust expressions is calculated:
[0029] The trim thrust T is provided by the propeller of the electric power system, and the expression for the propeller thrust is:
[0030]
[0031] Among them, C T For thrust coefficient, [C] t2 C t1 C t0 ] are all constants, and C t2 <0, C t1 >0, C t0 >0; represents the propeller advance ratio;
[0032] Substituting the balancing resistance into equation (9), we obtain the following equation regarding the required rotational speed ω:
[0033]
[0034] The simplified formula (10) yields:
[0035]
[0036] And rearranged into the following quadratic equation in ω:
[0037] a2ω 2 +a1ω+a0=0
[0038]
[0039] To ensure that the balancing speed is positive, the following solution should be taken from equation (12):
[0040]
[0041] This is the propeller balance speed that satisfies the trim flight state of an electric aircraft.
[0042] Furthermore, based on the simplified electrodynamic system model using the characteristics of the motor and battery, the duty cycle of the motor controller and the cell load current in the balanced state are obtained:
[0043] In equation (2), excluding the rate of change in battery power consumption The equations other than those in the equations simplify to:
[0044]
[0045] This can be further simplified into the following equation constraint:
[0046]
[0047] Solving equation (15) yields the motor controller duty cycle and cell load current in the balanced state:
[0048]
[0049] Thus, all state variables of the electrodynamic system can be obtained without numerical integration.
[0050] Furthermore, the reduced-dimensional flight dynamics model undergoes a power consumption discretization transformation, converting the time-dependent dynamic equations into power consumption-dependent values. The specific method for determining the simulation interval and discrete grid is as follows:
[0051] Transforming the dynamic equations relative to time into forms relative to energy consumption, for the state vector x, we have:
[0052]
[0053] Then the state derivatives in the electric aircraft motion equation of equation (4) are transformed into:
[0054]
[0055] The simulation range is set as the initial power consumption value Q0 and the final allowable value Q. f The total number of discrete grids for the electrical quantity is N. Q Then the interval ΔQ is:
[0056]
[0057] The discrete grid is:
[0058] Q0, Q0+ΔQ, Q0+2ΔQ, …, Q0+N Q ΔQ, (21).
[0059] Furthermore, based on the reduced-dimensional flight dynamics model, by setting a numerical sequence of roll angles and performing numerical integration simulations on the simulation interval and discrete grid, the specific method for obtaining the boundary of the horizontal maneuverable domain of the electric aircraft is as follows:
[0060] Within the allowable roll maneuverability of electric aircraft, from the minimum roll angle σ min to the maximum value σ max Select a series of roll angle values, and set the total number of required simulated roll angles to N. σ Then the roll angle interval Δσ is:
[0061]
[0062] The roll angle sequence is as follows:
[0063] σ min ,σ min +Δσ,σ min +2Δσ,…,σ max (twenty three);
[0064] Based on the roll angle sequence given in equation (23), numerical integration simulations are performed sequentially on the interval and discrete grid defined in equation (21), with a total number of simulations of N. σ In each simulation, the roll angle σ is fixed to the value corresponding to equation (23) and remains unchanged. The initial state variables of the electric aircraft in equation (4) are set as follows:
[0065] x(Q0)=0, y(Q0)=0, χ(Q0)=0 (24);
[0066] The constant speed and altitude of the aircraft are V0 and h0, respectively. The state variables of the electrodynamic system required for each step in the simulation can be obtained by substituting the current roll angle σ into equations (13), (16), and (17) and then by algebraic operations.
[0067] Corresponding to N σ The simulation yielded the following two matrices representing the position sequence of the electric aircraft in the horizontal plane:
[0068]
[0069] Where X and Y are the longitudinal and transverse position matrices in the horizontal plane, respectively, each row of the matrix represents the result of each simulation, and the data length of each row is N. Q All simulation results are arranged into a matrix, which has N rows. σ The data constituting the boundary of the horizontal maneuverability domain of an electric aircraft are the last columns of X and Y respectively:
[0070]
[0071] Among them, X B and Y B These are the longitudinal and lateral coordinate sequences of the horizontal maneuverable reachable domain boundary of an electric aircraft.

[0092] Method Implementation Examples
[0093] According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for evaluating the reachability domain of electric aircraft based on quasi-static energy discreteness is provided. Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating an reachability domain assessment method for electric aircraft based on quasi-static energy discretization, provided for one or more embodiments of this specification, is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the reachability domain assessment method for electric aircraft based on quasi-static energy discreteness according to an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:
[0094] S1. The dynamic model of the electric aircraft is transformed into a quasi-static dimension reduction model. Based on the quasi-static assumption, the dynamic equation of the electric aircraft is simplified and decoupled into kinematic equations in the horizontal plane and equation constraints for thrust balance and lift-weight balance. The dimension of the state variables is reduced, and a dimension-reduced flight dynamic model is obtained.
[0095] Electric aircraft are mainly used for low-altitude and low-velocity flight. The dynamic equations of electric aircraft are constructed as follows:
[0096]
[0097] Among them, the state variables include altitude h, longitudinal distance x and lateral distance y relative to the starting point, velocity V, track inclination angle γ and track deviation angle χ; the control variables and external forces include roll angle σ, thrust T, aerodynamic drag D and lift L; other parameters include gravitational acceleration g and total mass of the aircraft m;
[0098] The thrust T in the above equation is provided by the electrodynamic system, and this process is described by the following electrodynamic system equations:
[0099]
[0100] Among them, Q B Q consumes power for the battery max I represents the total capacity of a single battery cell. B U is the battery load current. B R is the battery output voltage. B U is the internal resistance of the battery. OC N is the open-circuit voltage. S and N P β1, β2, β3, β4 are the number of cells connected in series and parallel in the battery pack, respectively; SOC is the state of charge of the battery; [β1, β2, β3, β4] are all constants; I M R is the motor current, ν is the motor controller duty cycle, and R is the motor current. M K is the internal resistance of the motor. E Let L be the back electromotive force constant of the motor, ω be the rotational speed of the motor-propeller shaft, and L be the rotational speed of the propeller shaft. M K is the motor inductance. T J is the motor torque constant. M Let C be the moment of inertia of the motor shaft. Q D is the propeller torque coefficient. P J is the propeller diameter. P The moment of inertia of the propeller;
[0101] Compared to traditional aircraft, the dynamics system of the aforementioned electric aircraft has higher dimensionality and stronger nonlinearity, resulting in slower calculation of the reachable domain. This embodiment introduces a quasi-static assumption, meaning that the electric aircraft is in a trim state at all times during flight, with constant speed and altitude, denoted as V = V0. C h = h C γ = 0, and V C h C Since all are constant values, equation (1) can be simplified as follows:
[0102]
[0103] Equation (3) can be further decoupled into two parts, which are the kinematic equations of the electric aircraft in the horizontal plane:
[0104]
[0105] And to maintain the drag balance and lift-weight balance equation constraints at a given speed and height; due to mass and speed V C Since neither of them is zero, the fourth and fifth fractions of equation (3) can be simplified as follows:
[0106]
[0107] Calculate the aircraft trim drag based on the lift and drag expressions and the relationship under trim conditions:
[0108] For an electric aircraft with a wing configuration, lift and drag can be expressed as:
[0109]
[0110] Among them, S R For reference area, C L and C D These are the lift coefficient and drag coefficient, respectively, where α is the angle of attack and C is the drag coefficient. L0 C Lα C D0 Both k and k are constants;
[0111] Given the roll angle σ and the total mass m of the aircraft, the required lift and lift coefficient are respectively:
[0112]
[0113] Therefore, the corresponding drag coefficients and the required resistance to balance can be obtained as follows:
[0114]
[0115] Therefore, based on the thrust-resistance balance relationship in equation (5), it can be known that D in equation (8) is the total balancing thrust T.
[0116] The propeller equilibrium speed that satisfies the trim thrust and propeller thrust expressions is calculated as follows:
[0117] The trim thrust T is provided by the propeller of the electric power system, and the expression for the propeller thrust is:
[0118]
[0119] Among them, C T For thrust coefficient, [C] t2 C t1 C t0 ] are all constants, and C t2 <0, C t1 >0, C t0 >0; represents the propeller advance ratio;
[0120] Substituting the balancing resistance into equation (9), we obtain the following equation regarding the required rotational speed ω:
[0121]
[0122] The simplified formula (10) yields:
[0123]
[0124] And rearranged into the following quadratic equation in ω:
[0125] a2ω 2 +a1ω+a0=0
[0126]
[0127] To ensure that the balancing speed is positive, the following solution should be taken from equation (12):
[0128]
[0129] This is the propeller balance speed that satisfies the trim flight state of an electric aircraft.
[0130] Based on the simplified electrodynamic system model using the characteristics of the motor and battery, the duty cycle of the motor controller and the cell load current in the balanced state are obtained by solving:
[0131] In the electrodynamic system model of Equation (2), the speed and current regulation response of the motor are much faster than the rigid body motion of the electric aircraft. Therefore, it can be assumed that the motor is also at a steady-state operating point when the aircraft is in a trim state. However, the battery power consumption in Equation (2) is a slow accumulation process. The change rate of battery power consumption in Equation (2) is then reduced. The equations other than those in the equations simplify to:
[0132]
[0133] This can be further simplified into the following equation constraint:
[0134]
[0135] Solving equation (15) yields the motor controller duty cycle and cell load current in the balanced state:
[0136]
[0137] Thus, all state variables of the electrodynamic system can be obtained without numerical integration.
[0138] S2. Perform energy discretization on the reduced-dimensional flight dynamics model, transforming the dynamic equations relative to time into the form relative to energy consumption values, and determine the simulation interval and discrete grid.
[0139] The dynamic equations of the electric aircraft are simplified based on the quasi-static assumption, and the state variables involved are derivatives with respect to time t. In subsequent simulations, the total flight time t is... fSince it is an unknown quantity, it is impossible to pre-select the simulation time interval or choose an appropriate simulation time step. Transforming the dynamic equations relative to time into forms relative to power consumption, for the state vector x, we have:
[0140]
[0141] Then the state derivatives in the electric aircraft motion equation of equation (4) are transformed into:
[0142]
[0143] Among them, I B This represents the cell current.
[0144] The simulation range is set as the initial power consumption value Q0 and the final allowable value Q. f The total number of discrete grids for the electrical quantity is N. Q Then the interval ΔQ is:
[0145]
[0146] The discrete grid is:
[0147] Q0, Q0+ΔQ, Q0+2ΔQ, …, Q0+N Q ΔQ, (21).
[0148] S3. Based on the reduced-dimensional flight dynamics model, by setting the roll angle numerical sequence, numerical integration simulation is performed on the simulation interval and discrete grid to obtain the boundary of the horizontal maneuverable domain of the electric aircraft.
[0149] Within the allowable roll maneuverability of electric aircraft, from the minimum roll angle σ min to the maximum value σ max Select a series of roll angle values, and set the total number of required simulated roll angles to N. σ Then the roll angle interval Δσ is:
[0150]
[0151] The roll angle sequence is as follows:
[0152] σ min ,σ min +Δσ,σ min +2Δσ,…,σ max (twenty three);
[0153] Based on the roll angle sequence given in equation (23), numerical integration simulations are performed sequentially on the interval and discrete grid defined in equation (21), with a total number of simulations of N. σIn each simulation, the roll angle σ is fixed to the value corresponding to equation (23) and remains unchanged. The initial state variables of the electric aircraft in equation (4) are set as follows:
[0154] x(Q0)=0, y(Q0)=0, χ(Q0)=0 (24);
[0155] The constant speed and altitude of the aircraft are V0 and h0, respectively. The state variables of the electrodynamic system required for each step in the simulation can be obtained by substituting the current roll angle σ into equations (13), (16), and (17) and then by algebraic operations.
[0156] Corresponding to N σ The simulation yielded the following two matrices representing the position sequence of the electric aircraft in the horizontal plane:
[0157]
[0158] Where X and Y are the longitudinal and transverse position matrices in the horizontal plane, respectively, each row of the matrix represents the result of each simulation, and the data length of each row is N. Q All simulation results are arranged into a matrix, which has N rows. σ The data constituting the boundary of the horizontal maneuverability domain of an electric aircraft are the last columns of X and Y respectively:
[0159]
[0160] Among them, X B and Y B These are the longitudinal and lateral coordinate sequences of the horizontal maneuverable reachable domain boundary of an electric aircraft.
[0161] A specific embodiment of this method is as follows: Assuming that the starting point of the electric aircraft is located at the origin (0,0) of the coordinate system, and given four flight altitudes of 1km, 2km, 3km and 4km respectively, and a flight speed of 50m / s, the reachable domain of the aircraft is calculated using this method. Figures 2 to 5 The flight reachable domains of the example aircraft at four flight altitudes of 1km, 2km, 3km, and 4km are shown in sequence. The solid lines represent the flight trajectories of the aircraft after exhausting its available power under different roll angles, and the dotted lines represent the reachable domains determined by all flight trajectories. Figure 6 This further illustrates the impact of flight altitude on the reachable range.
[0162] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0163] By employing the embodiments of the present invention, the flight dynamics equations of the cruise flight phase of a winged electric aircraft are transformed through quasi-static transformation, which significantly reduces the system dimension and improves the numerical integration speed. By discretizing the electric charge, the original time-domain-based electric aircraft dynamics equations are transformed into those based on the electric charge dissipation domain, thereby transforming the uncertain time intervals and step sizes of the numerical simulation of the flight process into definite intervals and step size values, further improving the simulation speed.
