Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a parameter design method for a vehicle-mounted dual-mode unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most of the traditional vehicle-mounted dual-mode unmanned aerial vehicles are integrated on a fuel vehicle platform in an independent mounting manner. The dual-mode unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system is generally driven by an external power supply, a fuel generator or a vehicle-mounted force taking manner. The dual-mode unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system mainly includes an unmanned aerial vehicle body (including a power system), a flying battery, an on-board power supply, a tether cable and a line winding and unwinding device, and also needs to be equipped with an independent fuel generator and an AC / DC vehicle-mounted power supply and other supporting equipment. The traditional vehicle-mounted dual-mode unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system needs to be additionally installed with a generator and an AC / DC vehicle-mounted power supply, which increases the system weight and is generally only suitable for large load type or independent towing type vehicles.

[0003] With the vigorous development of pure electric vehicle platforms, some researches have explored the feasibility of the unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system taking power from the vehicle-mounted high-voltage power battery. Chinese patent application No. 202311357306.8, patent name: an unmanned aerial vehicle mobile nest and a control method and device thereof and an electric vehicle, discloses a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle nest, which realizes electrical connection between the vehicle-mounted power battery of an electric vehicle and the nest to charge the flying unmanned aerial vehicle. This patent does not involve research in the field of tethered unmanned aerial vehicle power supply. At present, there is no research exploring the feasibility of the pure electric vehicle providing power for the tethered mode. Due to the limited vehicle-mounted energy reserve of the pure electric vehicle and the strict load limit, the traditional independent mounting manner has a low degree of electrical coupling with the pure electric vehicle platform, which may cause the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system to exceed the load limit, resulting in a serious reduction in the endurance of the pure electric vehicle platform and even endangering the driving safety.

[0004] At present, the vehicle-mounted dual-mode unmanned aerial vehicle power supply system based on the pure electric vehicle platform also has the following defects in parameter design: 1) There is a lack of a general mathematical model for typical performance indicators such as system total weight, whole machine power consumption and flying endurance; 2) There is no general design method for the power supply system under multiple constraint requirements, which cannot complete the overall parameter design of the power supply system with a specified optimization target; 3) There is a lack of a solving method. The above defects make it difficult to realize vehicle-aircraft collaborative optimization, taking into account the unmanned aerial vehicle performance indicators and the residual endurance efficiency of the vehicle.

[0046] Where M total-req M is the maximum permissible total weight of the system. PL-req Minimum permissible load weight; L cable-req R is the minimum allowable length for tethered cables. flight-req For the minimum launch radius, T flight-req This is the minimum flight endurance.

[0057] Normalized Dynamic Penalty Function: Hard constraints are handled using the normalized dynamic penalty function defined in equations (16-1) to (16-3). This penalty function... Unify the dimensions, and through w k (t) Dynamically adjust the intensity of the penalty.

[0058] Initial weight engineering calibration: initial weights w for each constraint k INIT Determined by sensitivity analysis.

[0059] New fitness function F adapt (x,t) is shown in the following equation:

[0060] Fadapt (x,t)=P out (x)+Φ(x,t) (16),

[0061] Among them, F adapt (x,t) is the newly constructed fitness function, P out (x) represents the original onboard power supply, Φ(x,t) represents the penalty term of the constraint condition, t represents the t-th iteration, and x represents the set of variables.

[0066] α is the initial weight; α is the decay coefficient; T MAX The maximum number of iterations is given; exp is the natural exponential function.

[0067] The seven inequality constraints in formulas (8) to (14) are transformed into a unified violation function g. k (x), defined as follows:

[0068]

[0069] Step 3-3: Algorithm parameter setting and particle initialization;

[0070] Steps 3-4 involve iterative solution and optimal solution update. Through the speed and position update iterative mechanism of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimal solution that minimizes the on-board output power consumption and satisfies all constraints is gradually approached, while the iterative process is monitored in real time.

[0071] Step 3-3 includes:

[0072] Step 3-3-1: Set key parameters for the particle swarm optimization algorithm.

[0075] Discrete variable initialization: randomly assigned from the optional specifications;

[0076] Post-initialization checks and adjustments: For each initial particle, calculate whether the seven constraints are met. If the constraints are not met, adjust the continuous variables until they are met, ultimately ensuring that the proportion of feasible solutions in the initial population is ≥60%.

[0077] Steps 3-4 include:

[0078] Step 3-4-1, each iteration executes the following process:

[0079] Fitness calculation: For each particle in the population, the fitness function F is modified according to equation (16). adapt (x,t) calculates the fitness value, where the penalty term Φ(x,t) for infeasible solutions is 0;

[0080] Discrete variable mapping and verification: Perform nearest neighbor mapping on discrete variables, then recalculate the fitness function and its continuous variables. If the value of the continuous variable exceeds the feasible region, mark the particle as infeasible and skip the current iteration.

[0081] Update individual optimal values ​​and global optimal values:

[0082] In particle velocity and position updates, the velocity update formula is as follows:

[0083] v m (t+1)=ω·v m (t)+c1·r1·(p best,m -x m (t))+c2·r2·(g best -x m (t)) (17),

If the current particle's fitness is better than its historical best fitness, then update the particle's p. best,m g best To find the global optimum, iterate through the p values ​​of all particles. best,m If a solution with better fitness exists, then update the population's g. best ;

[0085] The position update formula is:

[0086] x m (t+1)=x m (t)+v m (t+1) (18),

[0087] After the update, perform the nearest neighbor mapping in step 3-4-1 on the discrete variables, and check the feasible region for the continuous variables;

[0088] Convergence criterion: If the global optimal solution g is found in X1 consecutive iterations... best If the change in fitness is less than the threshold, or the maximum number of iterations has been reached, the iteration is terminated.

[0089] If the penalty term Φ(x,t) for satisfying the constraints in X² consecutive iterations of the global optimal solution is less than a threshold, then the iteration is accelerated. After terminating the iteration, the output g is determined. best The optimal parameter combination is selected. Otherwise, the iteration continues, starting with fitness calculation.

[0090] Step 3-4-2: Monitor and correct the iterative process.

[0091] Step 3-4-2 includes: outputting key information every X3 iterations, including: the current globally optimal tethered power consumption P. out Total system weight M total Launch radius R flight Battery life T flight Variables such as the total weight M of the system. total Launch radius R flight Battery life T flight If a sustained overrun occurs due to constraints, the penalty function weight w is adjusted. j (t) or expand the feasible region of the variable, such as the upper limit of velocity v. max Position limit x max Re-iterate;

[0092] If a constraint is not met, analyze the reason and perform the corresponding correction:

[0093] If the feasible region of the dependent variable is too narrow: adjust the variable parameters and repeat steps 3-3 to 3-4.

[0094] If the algorithm gets stuck in a local optimum: increase the population size or adjust the inertia weights, and iterate again;

[0095] If there is a conflict in the constraints: feedback should be sent to the design task, the constraints should be adjusted through negotiation, and then the solution should be obtained again.

[0096] The present invention also provides an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, the memory storing program code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of the method.

[0097] The present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program or instructions that, when the computer program or instructions are run on a computer, execute the steps of the method described.

The globally optimal solution appeared in the combination of aircraft type 2 and cable 2, with a tethering power consumption of approximately 3550W, but the launch radius was only 4.2km, failing to meet the constraint. The penalty function was dynamically adjusted, and the radius constraint weight was increased from the initial 1.2 to 1.8.

[0178] Iterations from rounds 51 to 150: Through discrete variable mapping, the combination of aircraft type 1 and cable type 1 gradually becomes superior due to its light weight and low power consumption. A feasible solution is obtained in round 148: aircraft type 1 + cable type 1 + 50Ah launch battery + 4.5Ah backup battery, tethered power consumption 2845W, launch radius 10km, flight time 55min, total system weight 38kg.

[0179] Iterations 201-400: The algorithm enters the fine-grained search phase. The backup battery capacity is reduced to 4Ah, and the cable length is optimized to 100m. The global optimum is found in iteration 398: tethered power consumption is reduced to 2128W.

[0180] Iterations 401-500: Convergence speed slows down, fitness change is less than 0.3%. A better solution is found in iteration 442: a combination of model 1 and cable 1, with a cable cross-sectional area of ​​0.5mm². 2 Although line loss increases, the reduced weight leads to better overall power consumption, with tethered power consumption maintained at 2128W. Starting from round 442, the fitness change is less than 0.05% for 30 consecutive iterations, satisfying the convergence condition, and the algorithm terminates.

[0182] 1) Model selection: Model 1, weight 8.5kg

[0183] 2) Load capacity: 3.5kg

[0184] 3) Mooring cable: Specification 1, length 200m, weight 2.8kg

[0185] 4) Launch battery: 50Ah capacity, 10kg weight

[0186] 5) Backup battery: 4Ah capacity, 1.4kg weight

[0187] 6) Onboard power supply: Rated power 3kW, weight 4kg

[0188] 7) Total system weight: 32kg

[0189] 8) Flight mode performance: Flight time 52 minutes, flight radius 10km

[0190] 9) Tethered mode power consumption: 2128W on-board output power

[0191] 10) Backup battery forced landing time: 4.2 min

[0192] 5. Comparative Analysis

[0193] Compared with the traditional independent mounting solution for gasoline vehicles:

[0194] Weight reduction: The total weight of this system is 32kg, which is 29.8% less than the traditional solution (including a 5kW generator + AC / DC power supply, with a total weight of about 45kg), effectively alleviating the load pressure on the pure electric platform.

[0195] Improved energy efficiency: The tethered power consumption is 2128W, which is 29% lower than the traditional solution (about 3000W). Based on the calculation that the power battery reserves 10kWh capacity for tethered flight, the tethered operation time can be extended by about 1.37 hours.

[0196] Collaborative optimization: Through coupled modeling of "endurance-radius-speed", the flight mode has an endurance of 52 minutes, exceeding the design target by 4%, thus improving the performance margin.

[0197] Algorithm efficiency: The improved iteration termination condition of the particle swarm optimization algorithm can achieve convergence within 450 rounds, which is about 10% faster than the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm.

[0198] The optimization results show that the parameter design method described in this invention can accurately predict system performance, and the optimization results achieve efficient electrical coupling and energy collaborative management between the pure electric vehicle platform and the dual-mode UAV power supply system.
