Abstract:Energy management plays a crucial role in achieving extended endurance for solar-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Current studies in energy management primarily focus on natural energy harvesting and task-oriented path planning. This paper aims to optimize energy consumption during the climb and glide stages by exploring variable climb speeds and glide powers. To achieve this, fitness functions are established for both the climb and glide stages, taking into account the maximum climb speed and glide po… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
