Resumen


En este trabajo se realiza un estudio de factibilidad para integrar un sistema fotovoltaico a una aeronave no tripulada con la finalidad de extender el tiempo de operación. El sistema se diseñó con un arreglo en serie de celdas fotovoltaicas flexibles, el cual incluye un convertidor DC-DC para adaptar el voltaje de salida al voltaje de operación de la aeronave. La energía eléctrica generada por el sistema fotovoltaico operó satisfactoriamente en conjunto con la batería de la aeronave; suministrando la potencia necesaria para mantener un vuelo nivelado. Se desarrolló un sistema de medición basado en Arduino y sensores de voltaje y corriente para monitorear el consumo de potencia de la aeronave, la potencia generada por el sistema fotovoltaico y el tiempo máximo de operación de la aeronave.

In this work, is carried out a study to integrate a photovoltaic system into an unmanned aircraft in order to extend the flight time. The system was designed with a series arrangement of flexible photovoltaic cells, which includes a DC-DC converter to adapt the output voltage to the operating voltage of the aircraft. The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic system operated satisfactorily in conjunction with the aircraft's battery; providing the necessary power that keeps the aircraft in level flight. A measurement system based on Arduino and sensors of voltage and current was developed to monitor the power consumption of the aircraft, the power generated by the photovoltaic system and the maximum operating time of the aircraft.
