Are solar-powered UAVs able to absorb solar energy?

Herein, after optimization using the proposed optimization method, at approximately 12:00, the angle between the photovoltaic panels on solar-powered UAVs and the solar radiation was not conducive to the absorption of solar energy. At approximately 12:00, solar energy was sufficient, and the UAV’s demand for solar energy was no longer urgent.

Can a solar-powered UAV be used for multi-objective genetic algorithm?

In this study, a complete simulated environment of a solar-powered UAV for multi-objective genetic algorithm, including the solar radiation model, photovoltaic cell model coupling the attitude angle and thermal effect, battery model, propeller model, and dynamics and kinematic model, is proposed.

Can a solar-powered UAV achieve high-altitude and long-endurance flight?

Based on previous studies, a complete simulated environment of a solar-powered UAV using multi-objective genetic algorithm was proposed in this study to realize high-altitude and long-endurance flight, trajectory optimization, and energy management.

Do solar-powered UAVs have Intelligent Energy Management?

Intelligent energy management for solar-powered UAVs using GA was proposed. Details of complex energy flow model in solar-powered UAVs were considered. Complex factors on energy distribution and flight trajectories were analyzed. Optimal design condition for energy saving in solar-powered UAVs was identified.

How does NSGA-II control the climbing condition of a solar-powered UAV?

The input and output parameters of the photovoltaic cells and battery were comprehensively compared and analyzed. Compared with the traditional optimization method, the optimization method based on NSGA-II controlled the climbing condition of a solar-powered UAV by determining the optimal climbing time and climbing angle.

How much power does a Li-ion capacitor give a UAV?

Li-ion capacitors fall in the middle providing a comparably large amount of power (power density, 1 000–55 000 W/kg) over an arguably long period of time (energy density, 18–350 Wh/kg) . In order to determine the shortcomings of the different UAVs available on the market some more in-depth research into the different power sources is required.
