Abstract: A hybrid powertrain system and method includes a prime mover driving a generator/motor to produce an AC power output. The AC power output is applied to a rectifier which is controlled to transform the applied AC power to DC power to supply a DC Power bus at a selected voltage and current. An energy storage device is also connected to the DC power bus and the current flow between the energy storage device and the DC power bus is monitored and compared to preselected values and the results of that comparison are used to alter the operation of the rectifier to increase or decrease, as needed, the current provided to the DC power bus as electrical loads on the DC power bus change.

Abstract: A high endurance mobile unmanned aerial vehicle system includes a base station and an unmanned aerial vehicle interconnected by a tether which is releasable from the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle receives electrical power from the base station to operate the vehicle while connected. The unmanned vehicle further includes a hybrid drive system operable to produce electrical power from a fuel carried by the unmanned vehicle such that the unmanned vehicle can start the hybrid drive system, release the tether and fly in a fully mobile mode, away from the base station and tether when desired.
