Abstract

In this paper, we propose an intelligent battery control system that incorporates an active balancing technique and a fuzzy controller to manage and extend the life of an agricultural drone battery efficiently. The control system includes the following key features: A battery pack balancing algorithm based on a bidirectional DC/DC converter; a cell balancing system to prevent overcharge/discharge and ensure equal control of the cell voltages; and a monitoring system and wireless link to track the real-time status of the battery, temperature, and acceleration while the drone is in operation. Each battery pack consists of six lithium polymer batteries, one fuzzy controller per cell, and supports active balancing using the developed balancing technique. The capacity of each of the battery packs in the system is 11,000 mAh, and two can be combined to provide a total capacity of 22,000 mAh.
