18KW Tethered Power System for Drones Overview

The TPS220M-18KW Ver. 2.0 Tethered Power System is a high-performance solution designed for extended flight operations of VTOL and multi-rotor drones with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 60-90kg. With peak power output reaching 22,000W, this system is built to support long-endurance missions in challenging environments, offering continuous flight for over 48 hours. The system features a customizable tether cable length of either 220m or 330m and integrates advanced fiber optic communication for high-speed data transfer. Its automated winch reel synchronizes with drone takeoff and landing, while robust safety measures ensure reliable performance in demanding conditions. The system’s compact design, housed in a durable IP54-rated case, allows for easy transport and rapid deployment, making it ideal for industrial, surveillance, and emergency response applications.

18KW Tethered Drone Power System Key Features:

  1. Unlimited Flight Time with High Power Output: The TPS220M-18KW Ver. 2.0 provides continuous power for extended UAV operations, delivering up to 22,000W of peak power, supporting missions that require long-duration flights, such as surveillance, inspections, and emergency response.

  2. Automated Winch Reel for Hassle-Free Operation: The system’s automated winch reel synchronizes with the drone’s takeoff and landing, adjusting cable tension and reel-in/out speeds automatically. In the event of a power failure, the backup battery activates to ensure smooth cable retraction.

  3. Customizable Tether Cable with Fiber Optic Communication: Available in 220m and 330m lengths, the tether cable features an optional optoelectronic composite design with tightly packed single-mode fiber optic communication, allowing for seamless data transfer during operations.

  4. Robust Safety and Protection Features: The power system is equipped with comprehensive safety measures, including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, and overheating protection. The system is IP54-rated, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.

  5. Real-Time Data Monitoring and Control: The integrated touch screen displays key operational data, including output voltage, current, power, cable length, and fault records. The interface allows operators to adjust settings such as reel tension, output voltage, and communication protocols, supporting both English and Chinese.

  6. Portable and Durable Design: Housed in a compact and rugged wooden case, the system is easy to transport with optional pallet components and pull rod rollers. Despite its high power capacity, the system remains lightweight and mobile, making it ideal for field deployment.

  7. Compatible with VTOL and Multi-Rotor Drones: Designed to support drones with takeoff weights between 60-90kg, the TPS220M-18KW Ver. 2.0 is compatible with a wide range of UAV models, expanding the scope of industry applications.

Applications:

  • Long-Endurance Surveillance and Security Operations
