Due to the battery capability of drone or unmanned aerial vehicle, the ability of services and flying distance provided by drone are limited. Considering the frequent monitoring of the agricultural disease, the power recharging station for unmanned aerial vehicle without manual operation is important issue. Based on the proposed Environment and Location Aware Drone Services Corresponding to Green Energy Charging Station, the drone services can be started at one green energy charging station and ended at another. According to the complete-coverage path planning algorithm, the drone service such as environment monitoring or pesticide spraying can fully cover the farm. In addition, the implementation shows that suitable green energy power source can be dynamically embedded into power recharging station. The feasibility of the proposed system is verified.
