dc.description.abstractThis paper describes the design and development of a hybrid fuel cell/battery propulsion system for a long endurance small UAV. The high level system architecture is presented, followed by the hardware-in-the-loop testing and performance analysis. A high fidelity 6-DoF simulation model of the complete system was developed and used to test the system under different battery state-of-charge. The simulation model included the power manager for the hybrid propulsion system configuration, which is based on rule-based control. The simulation results are compared with the experimental results obtained from the Hardware-in-the-Loop testing.en_UK
