Intelligent path planning algorithms for UAVs: Classification, complexity analysis, hybrid ablation insights, and future directions
(SAGE, 2025) Dradoum, Alaa; Khelassi, Abdelmadjid; Lachekhab, Fadhila
As unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has evolved, these systems are being increasingly utilized across diverse industries. However, controlling UAVs faces significant problems owing to several environmental circumstances and obstacles, making path planning a critical initial step for UAV operation. This paper offers an overview of UAV path planning research founded on intelligent algorithms, which are divided into three categories: computational intelligence (CI), machine learning (ML), and hybrid methods. Each category has been analyzed in depth to show its strengths, limits, and where it may be applied to UAV-related problems. The methodology includes a comparative analysis based on multiple performance metrics such as path length, flight time, collision avoidance, complexity, and environmental adaptability. Furthermore, the research covers the latest publications that deal with solving essential challenges of UAV path planning by using new hybrid algorithms and enhanced optimization methods. The results indicate that although each strategy offers specific strengths suited to particular scenarios, hybrid strategies are more likely to deliver greater flexibility and robustness, particularly in uncertain, and dynamic environments. These findings are significant for guiding future research in adaptive path planning and for supporting practical UAV applications such as autonomous delivery, aerial surveillance, disaster response, and environmental monitoring.

Batteries are widely used for energy storage in stand-alone PV systems. However, both PV modules and batteries exhibit nonlinear behavior. Therefore, battery modeling is an essential step toward appropriate battery control and overall PV system management. Empirical models remain reliable for lead-acid batteries, especially the Copetti model, which describes many inner and outer battery phenomena, including temperature dependency. However, the parameters of the Copetti model require further adjustment to increase its ability to accurately represent battery behavior. Recently, metaheuristic algorithms have been employed for parameter identification, especially hybrid algorithms that combine the advantages of two or more algorithms. This paper proposes an enhanced battery model based on the Copetti model. The parameter identification of the enhanced model has been carried out using a novel hybrid PSO-GA algorithm (HPGA). The hybrid algorithm combines GA and PSO in a cascade configuration, with GA as the master algorithm. The HPGA algorithm has been compared with other algorithms, namely GA, PSO, ABC, COA, and a hybrid GWO-COA, to reveal its advantages and disadvantages. The NRMSE is used to evaluate algorithms in terms of tracking speed and efficiency. HPGA shows an improvement in tracking efficiency compared to GA and PSO. The proposed model is validated on several charging-discharging data and exhibits a 15% lower mean error compared to the Copetti model with original parameters. Additionally, the proposed model demonstrates a lower mean error of 0.16% compared to other models in the literature with a 0.36% mean error at least.
Signal processing deployment in power quality disturbance detection and classification
(2017) Dekhandji, Fatma Zohra
Power quality disturbances have adverse impacts on the electric power supply as well as on the customer equipment. Therefore, the detection and classification of such problems is necessary. In this paper, a fast detection algorithm for power quality disturbances is presented. The proposed method is a hybrid of two algorithms, abc–0dq transformation and 90 phase shift algorithms. The proposed algorithm is fast and reliable in detecting most voltage disturbances in power systems such as voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage unbalance, interrupts, harmonics, etc. The three-phase utility voltages are sensed separately by each of the algorithms. These algorithms are combined to explore their individual strengths for a better performance. When a disturbance occurs, both algorithms work together to recognize this distortion. This control method can be used for critical loads protection in case of utility voltage distortion. Simulation and analysis results obtained in this study illustrate high performance of the strategy in different single-phase and three-phase voltage distortions
