Optimizing Energy For Delivery Drones - A Comprehensive Tool Set For Drone Energy Calculation And Drone Fleet Optimization

This tool is intended to be deployed for potential customers to compare the energy profiles across various drone types/classes. The primary factors considered were design of the drone, the weight of the drone, the weight of the payload, and how the drone is flown. It has energy comparison metrics like "Drone (A) vs Drone (B) ", "Drone vs Ground Vehicle", "Drone Energy from delivery via landing versus hovering". It also includes the ability to determine the number of drones and batteries needed to optimally deliver goods from a chosen location to a set of destinations.

Fleet Size Requirements for Each GSE Type at Each Airport

This dataset contains the required number of vehicles for each GSE type at each airport under six charging scenarios: (1) charging when the battery state of charge is insufficient for the next service using 40-kW chargers (S1); (2) charging when the battery state of charge is insufficient for the next service using 20-kW chargers (S2); (3) charging starts immediately after each GSE completes a service task using 40-kW chargers (S3); (4) charging starts immediately after each GSE completes a service task using 20-kW chargers (S4); (5) charging during off-peak hours using 40-kW chargers (S5); and (6) charging during off-peak hours using 20-kW chargers (S6). ![image](gse-vehicles-chargers.png) Number of GSE vehicles per GSE type and chargers required for different airport categories under charging scenario 1.

Grid Reliability and U.S. Coal Fleet Attributes: Considerations for State Regulators

This briefing paper provides state utility regulators with a comprehensive and current understanding of the reliability attributes of coal as a generation resource, potential reliability impacts associated with near-term coal plant retirements, and possible mitigation strategies to ensure a stable and resilient energy system.

Drone Fleet Summary: NNLEMS UxS Rolodex entry for Sandia

Sandia’s UAS Aviation Operations Unit (UAOU) was established in 2019 to be the single entity at Sandia conducting UAS Ops in support the labs Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) activities. The UAOU currently consists of >330 FAA Registered UAS with a large variety of primarily Class 1&2 UAS: fixed wing (>90), multi-rotor (>230), hybrids, VTOLs, jets, and balloons. Many of these are threat vehicles presented as targets to Counter-UAS (CUAS) systems as part of performance tests, with the remainder in support of other projects across Sandia often with custom payload needs. The UAOU has ~15 primary pilots and reach back to another ~45 FAA Certified Remote Pilots across Sandia. The team conducts flight and CUAS operations at many test locations, including OCONUS. Sandia was awarded the 2024 DOE Federal Aviation Safety Program Award.
