As a newly recognized domain of geospace and an important area for national security, near space has gradually attracted the attention of major countries worldwide. Solar-powered UAVs in near space have become a research hotspot in aerospace technology. However, in conventional designs, energy, power, flight control and payloads are designed independently, whcih making it difficult to reduce structural weight and optimize overall performance. This paper researched the energy management of solar-powered UAVs from the perspectives of energy system reliability and the integrated design of energy, power, and flight control, aiming to achieve structural weight reduction and overall performance optimization. The specific contents are as follows. A dual-redundancy energy management scheme was designed, incorporating a bidirectional solid state power controller (SSPC) for isolation and control, realizing safe return under single-failure conditions. An integrated design was proposed, combining battery control, motor control, power control, and flight control. This design reduced hardware weight and enabled collaborative control through software. An improved ant colony optimization algorithm was adopted to generate a three-dimensional flight route for the solar-powered UAV, and the planned route was taken as an input for a comprehensive ground simulation test of the energy system. The proposed integrated control scheme was validated through simulation experiments, showing effective collaborative control of energy management, power control, and flight control.
