Optimal Charging Station Deployment for Drone-Assisted
Flight range of drones is compromised due to the limited battery capacity and the payload of delivered parcels. This challenge is addressed through the placement of charging stations
Last but not least, the battery power the drone at a low altitude in case of a complete solar power shortage. According to the proposed PMS, the wind effect is taken into account in this simulation study, which results in about 23.5% greater energy savings than another management strategy.
To enable modern drones to be effective, not only must an appropriate energy management system be selected but also optimal and accurate modeling must be provided. This chapter provided insights and recommendations for future research on drone energy supply management and strategy systems.
The initial phase involves splitting PV energy into three parts, where part one is used to powering the UAV, part two is in storage for later use, and part three is used to charge the battery. Solar irradiance declines start the second phase. Gravitational gliding and stored energy are used to partially cover the UAV power deficit.
Upgrading these building envelopes by deploying building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and allocating UAV recharging stations on their roofs would represent a dual green solution. The environmental benefits of reducing energy consumption in upgraded buildings are coupled with generating clean electricity required for the UAV charging functions.
