Abstract:Aiming at the working requirements of fixed mission oil electric hybrid unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) to reduce the instantaneous fuel consumption rate of hybrid system and increase the endurance mileage, different energy management strategies that can be applied to fixed mission oil–electric hybrid UAV were designed. The energy management strategies mainly include fixed rules, fuzzy logic and dynamic programming. According to the power source characteristics of the hybrid UAV, through the combination of theoretical and experimental modeling methods, the mathematical model of the hybrid system, the simulation conditions corresponding to the flight mission and the control programs of different energy management strategies were established by MATLAB. The fuel economy and operation stability performance of energy management strategy based on optimization dynamic programming algorithm was compared with those of fixed rules and fuzzy logic energy management strategy. The simulation results show that the cumulative fuel consumption of dynamic programming energy management strategy reduced by 4.6% and 6.5% respectively compared with fixed rule and fuzzy logic energy management strategy,and the average instantaneous fuel consumption rate decreased by 5.1% and 5.9% respectively compared with fixed rule and fuzzy logic energy management strategy. When dealing with external gust disturbance, the maximum speed fluctuation of aero-engine with dynamic programming energy management strategy is 59.7% lower than that with fixed rules. When dealing with random turbulence, the maximum speed fluctuation of aero-engine with dynamic programming energy management strategy is 33.9% and 25.6%, respectively, than that with fixed rules and fuzzy logic energy management strategy. As a global optimal algorithm, dynamic programming algorithm is applied to the energy management strategy of oil–electric hybrid UAV in fixed mission. It can optimize the fuel economy of hybrid power system, and ensure the operation stability of the system at the same time.
