What are renewable power systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)?

This paper comprehensively reviews renewable power systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including batteries, fuel cells, solar photovoltaic cells, and hybrid configurations, from historical perspectives to recent advances. The study evaluates these systems regarding energy density, power output, endurance, and integration challenges.

How is hydrogen stored in a UAV?

The three main techniques currently used for hydrogen storage in UAVs are as follows: Compressed hydrogen gas: Hydrogen gas is stored in tanks under high pressure. This method allows for easier storage and refueling compared to other techniques. However, it requires high-pressure tanks, which can add weight and volume to the UAV.

Are fuel cells a viable option for lightweight UAVs?

Fuel cells, particularly proton exchange membranes, demonstrate high energy density, enabling long flight durations for lightweight UAVs, yet face challenges such as slow response and hydrogen storage limitations.

Can Mini-UAV energy storage improve manned Aeronautics?

Expanding mini-UAV energy storage demonstrates promoting clean, sustainable unmanned aeronautics on smaller scales. Furthermore, Tian et al. investigated the interconnected relationships between flight dynamics and power distribution for fixed-wing hybrid electric UAVs combining solar panels, fuel cells, and batteries.
