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.

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.

Are supercapacitors a good energy storage solution for UAVs?

Supercapacitors are gaining recognition as an innovative energy storage solution, particularly for UAV applications. They offer significantly higher instantaneous power output than lithium-based batteries, making them ideal for emergency power needs .

Which companies use hydrogen fuel cells in UAVs?

HES also partnered with three French companies to integrate its fuel cell systems into UAV developed by Toulouse-based Airborne Concept . Other notable examples include Honeywell's UAVs, which utilize hydrogen fuel cell systems to significantly extend flight durations for both fixed-wing and multi-rotor platforms .
