ABSTRACT

Solar energy is a source of alternative energy for fossil fuels. The importance of solar energy is due to its qualities. It is both unlimited and nondestructive to nature. It also has zero emissions and limitations unlike fossil fuels. In this study, the conceptual design of a solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), with six hours of endurance, is performed. An evaluation of the literature and powertrain architecture design is carried out. Components, such as solar panels, battery, and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) are evaluated. The city of Eskisehir in Turkey is selected as a flight region with a continental climate. Flight environment and solar energy generation efficiency are investigated. Monthly sunshine times are calculated and compared with the semi empirically calculated power requirement of the UAV. It has been found that the UAV that is the subject of this study can achieve six hours of solar flight during the period between the fourth and the tenth months in Eskisehir, with 472.29 Wh of electrical energy required to be generated within a 1.084 m2 wing area.

太阳能无人机的概念设计和大陆气候飞行条件评估

摘要

太阳能是化石燃料的替代能源。太阳能的重要性在于其品质。它对自然既是无限的又是非破坏性的。与化石燃料不同,它还具有零排放和限制。在这项研究中,进行了具有 6 小时续航能力的太阳能无人机 (UAV) 的概念设计。对文献和动力总成架构设计进行了评估。对太阳能电池板、电池和最大功率点跟踪 (MPPT) 等组件进行评估。土耳其埃斯基谢希尔市被选为大陆性气候的飞行区。研究飞行环境和太阳能发电效率。计算每月的日照时间并与半经验计算的无人机功率需求进行比较。2翼区。
