The sustainable use of renewables will represent a key challenge in the near future, and relative energy management operations will play a crucial role in energy efficiency and savings for future generations. The operation and maintenance of energy systems are a very high valuable activity to prevent energy losses, and a correct monitoring can detect in advance equipment degradation guaranteeing good performance over time. Present research strives to find out possibility of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) use in monitoring applications for energy production sites and to investigate effects of this novel method on energy management procedures. Furthermore, investigation about novel approaches in cooperative inspection of real photovoltaic (PV) plants was carried out by light UAVs and utilize the global positioning system to find out the optimum route mapping during the solar PV modules monitoring. The purpose of this work is to propose a reliable, fast and cost effective method for PV plant planning and monitoring by means of UAS technology.

In this paper, we propose a novel multiple path-metrics based multi-path (MPMP) routing protocol, which can find the most suitable route that satisfies the requirements of various data traffic in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In order to provide differentiated QoS to various traffic, we propose a weighted cost function based on multiple path metrics, and D-ETX (Data-driven ETX) and available bandwidth estimation methods. To our best knowledge, this work is the first attempt to consider the multiple metrics-based multi-path selections for providing differentiated QoS to various traffic in MANETs. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol can achieve a significant improvement in terms of packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay over existing protocols.

Wireless sensor networks have made great progress in recent years in every aspect of our life. To extend their range of application and provide a further effective option for remote surveillance, unmanned aerial vehicles have been gradually introduced into sensor networks, due to their advantages of flexibility, mobility, and ease of realization. Despite the success of various applications and studies in this new field, unmanned aerial vehicle-wireless sensor network still faces many open challenges, such as the unmanned aerial vehicle capable system framework, land-wireless sensor network management, and unmanned aerial vehicle mission planning strategies. In the article, we propose a cooperative framework for unmanned aerial vehicle-wireless sensor network, which is composed of sensor nodes, fixed-group leaders, and a unmanned aerial vehicle-Sink, in which a three-layer hierarchical network is formed. A land-wireless sensor network k-means driven grouping approach is then presented, which considers the communication performance, the position, and other factors. Additionally, a simulated annealing algorithm is employed to detect the optimal flight trajectory according the ground wireless sensor network architecture. Finally, the proposed approach is compared to other related approaches, and the results have shown better performance of our proposal in terms of energy consumption, flying time, and other relevant evaluation criteria.
