Design optimization of drone BLDC motor for delivery service applications

Abstract

Drone based deliver system has emerged as a promising solution for efficient and timely delivery of goods. Designing an optimal motor for such drone is crucial to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation. This research mainly explores the design considerations and comparisons in the drone delivery system to bring the optimum configuration of the BLDC motor. The performance of the BLDC motor for the application of the drone delivery system, which is currently in the development stage for different companies like google, Amazon etc., and most research are more concerned about path travel by the drone and how to make it safe so that it wouldn’t collide and how it will deliver the product to the customer, but there are limited resources about the optimization of drone with respect to the drone-based delivery system. The motor selection for a drone delivery system requires careful analysis of various factors, including desired flight time, and power efficiency. Additionally, factors such as motor weight, and size must be considered to ensure an optimal balance between performance and operational efficiency, the research involves design optimization of the motor elements, such as slot dimensions, permanent magnet used, height and diameter of motor etc. Here, the characteristic of the BLDC motor willing to have are high torque, and high efficiency, to carry heavy loads with superlative efficiency. So the done with respect to motor design, i.e. optimizing stator design, rotor design, and the number of poles. And find out that the performance of the optimized design is better than the competitive design done (Parasiliti Model).
