How does a wireless drone docking station work?
Fig. 3: Electrical scheme of the proposed wireless drone docking station, which consists of an ETU and an ERU. The system includes three wireless charging modules connected in parallel at the transmitter side. On the receiver side, the wireless charging modules can be connected in series or parallel.
How to extend drone power autonomy?
One of the most promising solutions to extend drone power autonomy is the use of docking stations to support both landing and recharging of the drone. To this end, we introduce a novel wireless drone docking station with three commercial wireless charging modules.
Can a foldable coil and charge station be used for wireless charging?
The most suitable wireless charging technique for UAVs is inductive power transfer (IPT). In this paper, a novel foldable coil and charge station design is proposed for the wireless charging of UAVs. IPT is provided by receiver and transmitter coils placed on the drone legs and the charging station, respectively.
How can drone charging stations extend the operating range?
By strategically deploying a number of these charging stations, it is possible to extend the operating range of the drones to reach farther sites from fewer departing hubs than in the case with only direct deliveries from the hubs (Fig. 1.b). Such a network of charging stations must be designed considering the costs and constraints implied.
