Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a method and device for controlling the electrical power of a hydrogen-powered drone. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional compound-wing inspection drones typically use lithium batteries for power. In actual inspection scenarios, due to takeoff and landing, target location travel, and maintaining safety redundancy, the effective working time of traditional drones is generally less than 60 minutes, indicating a significant need to improve their endurance. Hydrogen power is a novel drone energy system. Its core is the use of hydrogen as the drone's energy source. Hydrogen is converted from chemical energy to electrical energy through a fuel cell. This electrical energy, combined with a lithium battery and managed by an energy management system, powers the drone. Using hydrogen to power the drone significantly extends its endurance, making hydrogen-powered drones a key research focus for various companies. Furthermore, the electrical control of hydrogen-powered drones is paramount. Currently, hydrogen-powered drones often determine power allocation and regulation solely based on operational energy consumption, neglecting the impact of load and flight state transitions on electrical control. This results in the endurance of hydrogen-powered drones failing to achieve the expected improvement. Adaptive control of the power system's electrical output during operation is also a key research focus for companies. Incorporating adaptive control can further enhance the drone's endurance and flight efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the power control method for a hydrogen-powered drone according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:

[0049] S11: Monitor the operating status of each component of the hydrogen-powered drone, obtain status monitoring data, and determine the operational energy consumption data based on the status monitoring data;

[0050] In the specific implementation of this invention, the monitoring of the operating status of each component of the hydrogen-powered drone to obtain status monitoring data, and the determination of operational energy consumption data based on the status monitoring data, includes: monitoring the operating status of each component based on the sensor combination of the hydrogen-powered drone to obtain status monitoring data; dividing the status monitoring data into time stages to obtain status monitoring data after time stage division; performing motor drive force analysis and power consumption analysis based on the status monitoring data after time stage division to obtain motor drive force data and power consumption data; and determining the operational energy consumption data of the hydrogen-powered drone based on the motor drive force data and power consumption data.

[0051] Specifically, the operational status of each component of the hydrogen-powered drone is monitored using a sensor suite. This suite includes a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, barometer, load cell, current sensor, and temperature sensor. This sensor suite monitors the operational status of the drone's components, such as monitoring the motor temperature using a temperature sensor. The monitoring data is then divided into time periods according to a preset time cycle. Based on this time-phased data, motor drive force and energy consumption are analyzed. The data is input into a neural network model to obtain motor drive force and energy consumption data, with the motor drive force representing the drone's motor drive force. Finally, the operational energy consumption data for the hydrogen-powered drone is determined from these two data points.

[0052] S12: Perform load analysis based on the status monitoring data to obtain load data, and determine the power control data of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV based on the load data and the operation energy consumption data.

[0053] In the specific implementation of this invention, the step of performing load analysis based on the status monitoring data to obtain load data, and determining the power regulation data of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV based on the load data and the operating energy consumption data, includes: performing data association based on the status monitoring data of each component of the hydrogen-powered UAV to obtain several corresponding association data; performing data fusion on the several association data to obtain fused data, and performing load analysis on the fused data to obtain load association data of each component; performing correlation analysis based on the load association data of each component to obtain load data; and determining the power regulation data of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV based on the load data and the operating energy consumption data combined with voltage control strategy, current control strategy and load characteristic control strategy.

[0054] Specifically, data association is performed based on the condition monitoring data of various components of the hydrogen-powered drone. Weighing data for each component is extracted from the condition monitoring data, and the weighing data of each component is synchronized and associated according to the data acquisition timestamp to obtain several corresponding associated data sets. These associated data sets are then fused using a Bayesian network to obtain fused data. Load analysis is performed on the fused data, which is then input into a machine learning model to associate the load conditions between different parts, obtaining load association data for each component. Finally, correlation analysis is performed based on the load association data of each component, using linear regression to perform correlation regression analysis on the load association data of each component, obtaining the load data. Based on the load data and operational energy consumption data, combined with voltage control strategy, current control strategy, and load characteristic control strategy, the power regulation data of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV is determined. The voltage control strategy includes controlling the output power and current to maintain voltage stability, the current control strategy includes controlling the output current to maintain current stability, and the load characteristic strategy includes adjusting reactive power to improve the power factor. The voltage control strategy, current control strategy, and load characteristic control strategy ensure the coordinated operation of the hydrogen-electric power system and its components. The voltage control strategy, current control strategy, and load characteristic control strategy are deployed in the power regulation model. Complex data and operational energy consumption data are input into the power regulation model for analysis to obtain the power regulation and distribution of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV to its components, such as the output power ratio of the hydrogen-electric power system to its components. This is the power regulation data. The hydrogen-electric power system includes a hydrogen storage system, a fuel cell system, a fuel cell controller, a lithium battery, and an energy management module.

[0055] S13: Perform flight state transition analysis on the hydrogen-powered UAV based on rotor weights to obtain flight state transition data, and determine power optimization allocation data based on the flight state transition data and the power control data.

[0056] In the specific implementation of this invention, the step of performing flight state transition analysis on the hydrogen-powered UAV based on rotor weights to obtain flight state transition data, and determining optimal power allocation data based on the flight state transition data and the power regulation data, includes: performing power demand analysis on the hydrogen-powered UAV during flight state transitions to obtain power demand data; performing rotor weight analysis on the hydrogen-powered UAV during flight state transitions to obtain rotor weight data, and determining flight state transition data based on the power demand data and rotor weight data; determining the power supply allocation space based on the flight state transition data and a hydrogen fuel cell model and a lithium battery model, and determining optimal power allocation data based on the power supply allocation space and the power regulation data.

[0057] Furthermore, the rotor weight analysis for flight state transition of the hydrogen-powered UAV to obtain rotor weight data includes: acquiring the transition mode data of the hydrogen-powered UAV and determining the upper limit and lower limit of the transition speed of the hydrogen-powered UAV; and performing rotor weight analysis for flight state transition of the hydrogen-powered UAV based on the transition mode data, the upper limit and lower limit of the transition speed to obtain rotor weight data.

[0058] Specifically, a power demand analysis is performed on the flight mode transitions of the hydrogen-powered drone. Flight mode transitions include switching from rotorcraft to fixed-wing flight and vice versa. The power demand for switching between rotorcraft and fixed-wing flight is analyzed to obtain power demand data. The transition mode data of the hydrogen-powered drone is acquired, including preset weights for fixed-wing and rotorcraft flight (e.g., a preset weight of 0 for fixed-wing flight and 1 for rotorcraft flight). Weight ranges are set based on these preset weights, and upper and lower limits for the transition speed of the hydrogen-powered drone are determined. These upper and lower limits are also determined based on the drone's parameter library for different flight mode transitions. Rotor weight analysis is performed on the flight state transition of a hydrogen-powered UAV based on the conversion mode data, the upper limit of the conversion speed, and the lower limit of the conversion speed. The difference between the current speed of the hydrogen-powered UAV and the lower limit of the conversion speed is divided by the difference between the upper limit of the conversion speed and the lower limit of the conversion speed to obtain the calculated value. The rotor weight data is obtained by subtracting the calculated value from the preset weight of the conversion mode data. This rotor weight data can be used to characterize the weight of the control variables of the rotor. The flight state transition data is determined based on the power demand data and the rotor weight data. That is, the flight state transition data is composed of the power demand data and the rotor weight data. Based on the flight state transition data, combined with the hydrogen fuel cell model and the lithium battery model, the power allocation space is determined. The hydrogen fuel cell consumption of the UAV per unit time is obtained. A hydrogen fuel cell model is established based on the hydrogen fuel cell consumption. The output power, output current, and state of charge of the lithium battery in the charge-discharge cycle are obtained. A lithium battery model is established based on the output power, output current, and state of charge of the lithium battery in the charge-discharge cycle. The battery output power is determined based on the flight state transition data, combined with the hydrogen fuel cell model and the lithium battery model. The battery output power is discretized in a preset continuous interval to obtain a power set. The preset continuous interval can be the interval between the minimum battery output power and the maximum battery output power. The distribution characteristics of hydrogen fuel are analyzed in the power set. Based on the distribution characteristics, a power allocation space is established. Based on the power allocation space and the power regulation data, the power optimization allocation data is determined. A neural network model of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV is constructed through a near-end strategy optimization algorithm. Based on the neural network model, the power allocation space and power regulation data are used to analyze the power optimization allocation of each component of the hydrogen-electric power system to obtain the corresponding power optimization allocation data.

[0059] S14: Construct an adaptive controller and control the power output of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV based on the adaptive controller and the power optimization allocation data.

[0060] In the specific implementation of this invention, the construction of the adaptive controller includes: constructing a fractional-order complex network system based on the object model of the hydrogen-powered UAV, and constructing a state error system based on the fractional-order complex network system; constructing a target proportional-integral-derivative PID controller based on the state error system combined with an internal model controller, and constructing an adaptive controller based on the target PID controller combined with the Popov stability criterion.

[0061] Furthermore, the construction of a proportional-integral-derivative PID controller based on the state error system combined with the internal model controller includes: obtaining the relative order of the object model and constructing an internal model controller based on the relative order using a low-pass filter function; calculating a transfer function based on preset proportional coefficients, preset integral coefficients, and preset derivative coefficients, and generating a conventional PID controller based on the transfer function; performing parameter tuning on the conventional PID controller to obtain a parameter-tuned PID controller, and constructing a target PID controller based on the internal model controller, the state error system, and the parameter-tuned PID controller.

[0062] Specifically, a fractional-order complex network system is constructed based on the object model of a hydrogen-powered drone. By abstracting the hydrogen-powered drone entity, the drone is treated as the controlled object. The controlled object and its corresponding function are abstracted at a predetermined level to obtain its corresponding object model. Differential equations corresponding to the object model are established, and the fractional order is determined by the fractional derivative, which is the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense. The fractional order is used to construct a fractional-order complex network system using the corresponding differential equations. The fractional-order complex network system adds infinite memory and hereditary properties through the fractional derivative, and also increases the degrees of freedom, making the obtained fractional-order complex network system more accurate. A state error system is constructed based on the fractional-order complex network system, and a state equation is constructed. This state equation is constructed to consider the equivalent perturbations corresponding to nonlinear states. The state error system between the object model and the fractional-order complex network system is constructed through the state equation. The relative order of the object model is obtained, as are the basis functions of the units into which the object model is divided. Solution vectors are determined based on the basis functions. The relative order of each unit is determined based on its basis functions and corresponding solution vectors. An internal model controller is constructed based on these relative orders using a low-pass filter function. Specifically, the final internal model controller is generated by combining the relative order, the low-pass filter function, and a preset template for the internal model controller. The low-pass filter function ensures the robustness of the internal model controller. A transfer function is calculated based on preset proportional, integral, and derivative coefficients. A conventional proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller is generated based on this transfer function. A conventional PID controller can be quickly generated using the transfer function via a PID interface function. For parameter tuning of a conventional PID controller, an empirical trial-and-error method can be used. Based on experience, the controller parameters are initially set to a single value. In the closed-loop control system, disturbances are applied by changing the setpoint, and the transient response curve is observed on a recorder. The proportional, integral, and derivative parameters are tuned sequentially until a satisfactory transient response is obtained, resulting in a parameter-tuned PID controller. A target PID controller is then constructed based on the internal model controller, the state error system, and the parameter-tuned PID controller. An equivalent disturbance is observed on the state error system using a state observer to obtain an extended state vector. The state observer can treat uncertainties or disturbances in the system as one of the states in the system. The parameters of the parameter-positive definite PID controller are optimized based on the extended state vector. The control parameters of the optimized PID controller and the internal model controller are then fused to obtain the target PID controller.An adaptive controller is constructed based on the target PID controller and the Popov stability criterion. The Popov stability criterion is a method for analyzing the stability of nonlinear control systems. It requires that the state vector of the control system remain bounded when the input of the control system is limited to a subset of all possible input sets. The conditions for ensuring controller stability can be derived based on the Popov stability criterion. A nonlinear characteristic function is set, and the equilibrium point of the controller is determined based on the Popov stability criterion and the nonlinear characteristic function. The stability condition is determined based on the equilibrium point of the controller. The Popov stability criterion is added to the target PID controller to form the final adaptive controller, which enhances the stability of the adaptive controller. Based on the adaptive controller and the optimized power distribution data, the power output of the hydrogen-electric power system of the hydrogen-powered UAV is controlled. The power output is distributed to various components of the hydrogen-powered UAV according to the optimized power distribution data. The power output deviation is detected, and the power adjustment parameters are determined based on the adaptive controller and the power output deviation. The power output is adjusted according to the adjustment parameters to achieve better power control.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, load analysis is performed based on the state monitoring data of the hydrogen-powered UAV to obtain load data. Based on the load data and operational energy consumption data, the power regulation data of the hydrogen-electric power system of the UAV is determined. This introduces load analysis of the hydrogen-powered UAV, and combining load data with operational energy consumption data makes the analyzed power regulation data more accurate. Flight state transition analysis is performed on the hydrogen-powered UAV based on rotor weights to obtain flight state transition data. Based on the flight state transition data and the power regulation data, optimal power allocation data is determined. Rotor weight analysis allows for a more comprehensive analysis of the flight state transition data of the hydrogen-powered UAV. The resulting optimal power allocation data, obtained by combining the flight state transition data and power regulation data, is more adapted to the actual operation process of the hydrogen-powered UAV. An adaptive controller is constructed, and based on the adaptive controller and the optimal power allocation data, the power output of the hydrogen-electric power system of the UAV is controlled, effectively improving the endurance of the hydrogen-powered UAV and achieving a more ideal power control effect.
