IEEE P1958

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.
This standard specifies technical requirements, testing methods, and application specifications for Hydrogen-Powered Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). It covers three key technical areas: Hydrogen-powered cell materials, Hydrogen-powered technology equipment, and multi-rotor UAS integration, including core technical indicators such as material properties, hydrogen storage systems, refueling facilities, flight performance, and safety monitoring. The standard sets performance requirements for hydrogen-powered multi-rotor UAS, including environmental adaptability, dynamic response, and energy conversion efficiency, while standardizing technical parameters for three hydrogen storage methods: high-pressure gaseous, liquid, and solid-state hydrogen storage. It also clarifies implementation requirements for hydrogen refueling station construction, data monitoring, and typical application scenarios, providing a technical basis for the safe application of hydrogen-powered UAS in fields such as agriculture, power line inspection, and island operations.

This standard defines a framework for a hydrogen fuel cell power system for multi-rotor drones. The standard addresses a hydrogen fuel cell power system, a hydrogen supply system, a temperature management system, safety measures, operation management, maintenance, and inspection.
