Delivery time of mobile energy storage container for drone station with bidirectional charging
Flight time and range of drones are compromised due to the limited capacity of the battery and the payload of delivered parcels. Route planning, trajectory optimization or customer clustering optimization could help to overcome this issue. . Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site's building infrastructure. A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external. . This challenge is addressed through the placement of charging stations where drone batteries are recharged. As assignment issues have not yet received much attention in the literature, this study will focus on designing drone assignment strategies through optimization.

Are drone charging stations a viable alternative to traditional delivery methods?
Sudbury and Hutchinson (2016) assert that drone technology, replacing labor and traditional delivery methods, holds promise but faces challenges. Limited battery life restricts drone delivery range; however, drone charging stations offer a solution by enabling longer flights and wider delivery areas.
Are drone delivery systems the future of logistics?
Many firms are investing in drone logistics ventures to capitalize on their capabilities. However, the limited range of drone deliveries, dictated by battery capacity, poses a significant challenge. Hybrid delivery systems combining trucks and drones have gained attention to overcome this challenge.
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.
Are dedicated drone charging stations a cost-effective solution?
We propose establishing dedicated drone charging stations and optimizing drone routing for efficient deliveries to address these issues We present a MINLP (Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming) model aimed at identifying the most cost-effective solution that optimizes both transportation efficiency and charging infrastructure investment.
