EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE VARIATION ON THE DISCHARGE OF UAV BATTERY

Abstract

This article addresses the crucial aspect of optimizing continuous perimeter monitoring systems for protecting critical infrastructure facilities. The study focuses on the energy consumption of multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) under varying ambient temperature conditions. As these facilities require constant protection, integrating various technical means, including UAVs, into a unified security framework enhances effectiveness.
 The paper introduces a novel method for assessing the influence of ambient temperature on the energy consumption of multirotor UAVs during flight. Experimental data are utilized to calculate the battery efficiency coefficient, accounting for temperature variations and atmospheric pressure. This coefficient serves as a valuable parameter for estimating the duration of UAV flights, especially during prolonged monitoring missions.
 The conclusions drawn from the study emphasize the significant role of ambient temperature in the battery discharge process during extended flights. Implementing the calculated efficiency coefficient in the planning phase can optimize the UAV’s operational lifespan and enable precise predictions of flight durations in various weather conditions.
 This research holds great practical significance as it contributes to the efficient utilization of UAVs in continuous perimeter monitoring systems. The findings provide valuable insights into energy consumption patterns, allowing security personnel to plan UAV deployment and optimize surveillance operations effectively. Ultimately, this knowledge enhances the overall security of critical infrastructure facilities, safeguarding them from potential threats and unauthorized access.
