Proposed Method
• Multifaceted solution• Algorithm – Optimizes battery capacity/engine output at each time step• Virtual UAV – Validates algorithm results in realistic, nonlinear system
• Closed loop system where user can provide algorithm alterations H
• All necessary complex constraints jointly considered

Analytical Model and Formulation• Energy distribution decisions from algorithm are fed into controller
• Model subject to complicated aerial, electrical, and thermodynamics
Virtual UAV Model
• Separated payloads, enabling variable load characteristics
• Engine modeled using real component specifications
• Main battery sized according to longest “dash” period

Simulation Results• Results from Virtual UAV
implementation closely followed DP simulation results
• Charges and stores just enough power for future requirements
• Fixed C-rate for initial results
• Voltage variability resulted in transients in engine output

Conclusion
• Quick and accurate computations are required to achieve improved energy efficiency and reliability for lengthy UAV missions
• Existing methods have not considered importance of quick decisions that satisfy the highly nonlinear physical constraints
• Developed an integrated optimization method including mathematical programming and an virtual UAV simulation model
• Approach enables robust decisions to be made without extensive computation time
