Unit

The 2000W Generator Control Unit manages the generation and storage of electrical energy to supply the needs of small to medium-sized UAVs.

The GCU is designed to complement the functionality provided by our PDU (Power Distribution Unit). When installed together, these two units form a complete power supply solution including electrical power generation, battery management, power distribution and redundancy for critical sub-systems.

The GCU includes an optional engine starter which uses the same BLDC motor and wiring that is used for electrical power generation, saving weight and installation effort.

Features

• Main power output provides up to 1000W at 58.8V for powering vehicle electronics directly or via PDU
• Two separate outputs, each capable of providing up to 500W of power for rapid inflight recharging or equipment powering
• Outputs user-configurable for both voltage and current, allowing a wide variety of battery chemistries and sizes to be accommodated.
• Configurable output variants 50/50, 75/25, 50/25/25, 100/0
• Supported battery types include:
  • LiPo: 10 – 14S
  • LiS: 15 – 20S
  • LiFePO4: 10 – 14S
  • LiIon: 10 – 15S
• Active rectification of 3-phase inputs achieves highest possible efficiency, minimising selfheating
• Outputs powered by interleaved, spread-spectrum modulated DC-DC converters for best possible EMI/RFI performance
• Umbilical input: 35 – 60 VDC
• RS232 and CAN monitoring interfaces provide extensive reporting of voltages, currents and internal temperature
• IP67 rated
• Weight: ~ 1740g
• Dimensions: 209x182x59 mm
