Validating Lithium-Polymer Battery Discharge Models to Ensure Uav Flight Safety and Performance

Open Access

Abstract

This article proposes a methodology for assessing the adequacy of mathematical models for the discharge characteristics of lithium-polymer batteries (LPABs) used in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The methodology is based on ISO 5725 standards, focusing on the evaluation of trueness and precision under repeatability and reproducibility conditions. Experimental studies were conducted to collect data on LPAB discharge behavior and surface temperature dynamics across a range of environmental conditions (-20°C to +50°C). Key analyses included systematic error evaluation, statistical variance assessment, and the formulation of precision criteria using tools such as pairwise differences, mean square deviation, and statistical tests. The results validate the developed regression and simulation models, confirming their reliability for predicting battery performance under dynamic operational conditions. The study provides a robust framework for UAV battery monitoring, enabling accurate prediction of flight duration and ensuring safe and efficient UAV operation across diverse environmental scenarios.
