Comprehensive state of the art review on electric unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs critical evaluation of power supply structures and energy management systems. UAVs development gaps, useful guiding recommendations, and prospects. The interest in electric unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is rapidly growing in recent years.
In a recent paper, Yang et al. proposed a state machine strategy for a fuel cell/battery UAV. In this case a control logic divides the decision area into five states based on demand power and battery SOC values. The hybrid power system architecture includes two converters, where one is bidirectional to control battery charging/discharging.
An automated refueling station for small-scale UAVs was designed and implemented in a study to enable long-duration autonomous missions with multi-agent UAV systems. The study developed a planning and learning algorithm and tested it in a 3 h persistent flight involving 3 UAVs and over 100 battery swaps.
