Abstract
Due to the special nature of the energy system, flight path planning and control system design for solar-powered UAV need to take full account of energy constraints. This paper gives a detailed study of the flight planning and control strategy design problems for solar-powered UAV with different sets of constraints. Firstly, the energy flow models including solar cell output model, propulsion system energy consumption model and battery model are established. Combined with solar UAV's mass point model, the paper puts forward a solar UAV trajectory planning strategy by means of Gauss pseudo-spectral method with the goal of optimal power flow efficiency. Finally, the optimization method in this paper is simulated and analyzed. The results show that the trajectory optimization method is feasible.
