Unmanned aerial vehicles and wind generation serving isolated areas

A fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) providing connectivity to IoT devices distributed on an isolated area that also lacks in a connection to the main power network has been considered. A wind generator supplies the UAVs charge station as well as the local load. The charge station has been considered as a high priority load with respect to the remaining local load. The overall system has been modelled with Markov chains. Different management strategies of the UAV fleet have been investigated to evaluate their effect on the ability of the flying ad-hoc network to satisfy the connectivity request of the IoT devices as well as to foresee the ability of the wind generator to meet the load of the isolated area.
