Design of Solar-Powered Glider (Matlab Simulink)

The deliverable is to investigate on how solar panels can be installed onto the RC-Glider, how many panels are required in order to functionalize the receiver, flaps and rechargeable batteries. Weight will be taken into considerations, as performance of the RC-glider will be affected by it. Hence, it is important to determine the power distributions and requirements used by the RC-glider. Software simulation is required to determine the power requirements of the RC-Glider and the batteries voltage/ power distribution. Once data is obtained, simulation on the solar panels will also be determined to regulate the maximum power algorithm to support the functions of the RC-glider with optimal performance. A design of a rechargeable solar-power battery on the RC-glider for redundancy is in case of loss of solar radiant and light during cruising. Data and analysis will be determined on how much power is required for the RC-Glider to return from a cruise in a distance. It is a critical source to make sure the RC-Glider will return safely, with the minimal power required to output with optimal performance during loss of solar radiant and light. The simulated prototype will be brought together for further investigation, if the algorithms required are practical and effective. Further improvement can be dealt with. Everything will be done via matlab simulink. 1)Research on Generic Schematic Circuit for PV Solar Cells and Glider, best suitable for the project (with the input of power/voltage requirements to sustain proper flight) To be summarised in a word document" 2) Implementing schematic circuits of both PV Cells and glider in Matlab simulink 3) Integrating timer/clock into circuit to track the flight time sustainable for the power necessary for flight (purpose is to determine the range and endurance) in Matlab simulink 4) Integrating external effect (Geograhical / Albedo/ Orientation / Environmental effects) in Matlab simulink 5) Derive grahpical reports showing the charging/discharging and also power distributions within the servomechanism in Matlab Simulink 6) Derive how glider sustain flight at the optimal performance when affected by external forces (Geograhical / Albedo/ Orientation / Environmental effects) in Matlab Simulink 7) Showing mathematical calculation on energy which was required in the project in a word document 8) Conclusion and summarisation of the whole report in a word document
