Multistage Drone Dock Location Problem for Electric Power Inspection
In response to the growing demand of drone power inspections and overcome the defects of ex-isting inspection methods,this paper proposes and studies a multi-stage drone dock site selection meth-od.First,the CIPS method is used to identify candidate sites.Secondly,a multi-objective and multi-stage drone dock location model was established considering the stage-opening characteristics of the nest.Fi-nally,the NSGA-Ⅲ algorithm is applied to solve this model using the real world case of Xuzhou City.Re-sults show that the demand coverage rate of the final site selection plan is as high as 94.7%,and the de-mand duplication coverage rate is only 14.5%.Therefore,the location problem proposed in this article can achieve optimal coverage of inspection,while saving construction costs,which is of some practical val-ue for the electric power inspection department in the nest location.
