SolarAnywhere Data Helps Solar-Powered UAVs Plan for Real Weather
Key Takeaways
- SolarAnywhere irradiance data is being used to model solar-assisted UAV flights in Central Europe.
- Researcher Piotr Lichota developed a stochastic framework using 25+ years of satellite-derived data.
- Clear-sky assumptions were replaced with cloud cover models based on MLE-derived DNI/DHI profiles.
- Midday launches have significantly higher probabilities of longer flight durations than early-morning launches.
