3000W Tethered Drone System With CAN Communication Function
How 3000w Tethered Drone Power Station to work
The tethered power system consists of ground module, cable, and air module which are transmitted through cables to provide continuous power to the UAV.
The applications of tethered UAV
The tethered UAV can be applied in situations and environments that require long-time operation, making up for the shortcomings of short endurance time, faster power consumption with more mounts, and the need for frequent battery replacement. It expands the industry application of UAV
Tethered UAVs in fiber optic communications
A tethered drone is a drone that is connected to a ground station by a cable. The cable can provide power and/or data communications to the UAV, allowing the UAV to stay in the air for long periods of time and perform tasks. In the application of fiber optic communications, tethered UAVs can utilize fiber optics for high-speed, high-capacity data transmission.
Some applications of tethered UAVs in fiber optic communications:
1.Emergency communication: In natural disasters or other emergencies, terrestrial communication infrastructure may be destroyed. Tethered UAVs can quickly establish temporary high-altitude base stations through pre-deployed fiber optic cables to restore the communication capacity of damaged areas.
2. High-definition Video Surveillance: Tethered UAV carries high-definition cameras, and transmits the captured images back to the ground control center in real time through optical fiber. Due to the high bandwidth and low latency characteristics of fiber optics, it is very suitable for scenarios that require large amounts of data transmission, such as security monitoring, border patrol, and so on.
3. Wireless Network Expansion: Using the stable power supply and high-speed data link provided by fiber optic cables, the tethered UAV can be used as a mobile signal tower or Wi-Fi hotspot to expand the wireless network coverage, especially in large-scale event venues or remote areas.
4. Scientific Research: For atmospheric research, weather monitoring and other scientific experiments, tethered drones can transmit the collected data in real time via fiber optics, helping scientists to obtain more accurate information.
5. Entertainment and Media: In sporting events, concerts and other activities, tethered drones can provide viewers with unique perspectives and transmit high-quality live signals to broadcasters via fiber optics.

2). Support takeoff weight: 10-15kg (drone power efficiency varies, this data is for reference only).
3). Supporting flight duration: ≥ 48h (the system can support working duration, which depends on the structure and electrical fatigue resistance of the drone)
III,Function characteristics
1). Automatic reel in/out: Follow the takeoff and landing of the UAV to synchronously cable reel in/out, automated adjust the tension, and backup battery to activate cable reel in function in case of power cut off.
2). Communication function: Wired and wireless communication function, support remote display and control, client-side data viewing and downloading.
3). Protection function: Separate design for strong and weak electricity. Input and output voltage resistance≥3000VDC, tethered cable insulation voltage resistance≥3500VDC. Input overvoltage and undervoltage protection. Output overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, over temperature protection, fault elimination and self recovery.
4). Data display function: The touch screen displays data such as output voltage, output current,output power, cable outlet length, working duration, installation temperature, total power consumption, fault record, and working status information.
5). Set adjustment: The display screen supports the setting and adjustment of wire winding speed, wire winding tension, wire reel out tension, safety length, date and time, and supports Chinese and English display.
6). Fault alarm function: When the system malfunctions, the display screen scrolls to display fault information, and beeps to alert.
7). Equipment carrying: With a backpack design, the backpack can be equipped with a complete set of tethering systems, including a tethering box, air module power supply, lighting unit (optional), and other accessories. The overall weight is 12 ± 0.5kg.
8). 5800W/7000Wh outdoor mobile power bank or 4300W/6.0L generator is recommended.
