하이브리드 동력원 기반 UUV 운용을 위한 기초 연구

Abstract

This study presents a fundamental investigation into the key technologies required for the long-term operation of a hybrid-powered Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV). The hybrid power system enables extended endurance and complex mission capability beyond the limitations of conventional battery-based UUVs. The proposed framework focuses on three core technical areas: mission scenario design considering hybrid power characteristics, dynamic power consumption modeling that reflects the operational conditions of onboard components, and energy-aware control strategies for stable operation under varying mass balance and power loads. These technologies collectively support efficient energy management and operational stability of hybrid-powered UUVs. The outcomes of this study provide a technical foundation for developing next-generation underwater vehicles with enhanced endurance, reliability, and energy efficiency.
