Abstract

Long-endurance of UAVs is indispensible for realizing continuous surveillance and reconnaissance, and solar-powered UAV is a promising candidate to reach the continuous flight. Efficient energy management of a solar-powered UAV is important for long-endurance flights. The ground testbed was constructed to manage energy flow and test performance of each power management module. Experimental results from the ground testbed were compared with the simulation results to verify the energy and flight model. The long-endurance performance of a solar-powered UAV is evaluated using the simulation model, changing some of the main design parameters.
