ON OBTAINING ENERGY-OPTIMAL TRAJECTORIES FOR LANDING OF UAVS

On Obtaining Energy-Optimal Trajectories for Landing of UAVs

The optimization issues connected to a landing task of an unmanned aerial vehicle are discussed in the paper, based on a model of a mini-class drone.Three landing scenarios are considered, including minimum-time landing, landing with minimum Right Link Cover energy consumption, and planned landing.With the use of classical dynamic programming techn

Techno-economic potential of battery energy storage systems in frequency response and balancing mechanism actions

Batteries offer a combination of balancing and regulation services within a smart grid to improve its resilience and flexibility.Maintaining an acceptable state of health and the highest rate of return requires dynamic modelling of the asset and rigorous optimisation.The authors compare the technical cost and economic benefit of battery employment
