| چکیده مقاله |
| Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as remote-controlled or autonomous flying devices characterized by high flexibility and mobility, were usually employed to conduct remote sensing and surveillance missions. Recent developments in fuel cell (FC) technologies show great potential to increase flight duration of UAVs with satisfactory fuel economy. For UAVs powered by FC propulsion systems, the maneuverability and the power performance may be considerably affected, since the FC has drawbacks such as the long start-up time, delayed response and weak power performance. The integration of FCs with other power sources can significantly improve the dynamic load-response, the power performance, and the energy storage capacity of UAV propulsion systems. FC hybrid with the battery is a well-known and wonderful scheme. In this paper, a flowchart for sizing different components of a UAV with PEMFC as main power source is presented. The flight time estimated by this flowchart showed a good agreement with actual flight time. |
