Abstract

Aiming at the problem of energy storage during the level flight of solar powered UAV, the energy management of UAV in horizontal flight is studied in this paper based on a diamond wing solar powered aircraft with dihedral. The incident angle from the sun to the solar cell can be derived from the relationship between the motion attitude of the aircraft and solar normal line, and then the energy production model coupled with the motion attitude is obtained, which is verified through the level flight. Besides, in order to maximize the residual energy, the energy production model and energy consumption model are combined to optimize the flight trajectory during the level flight. Finally, the simulation results show that the optimized trajectory can manage the energy better, which means that the residual energy can been maximized.
