Energy Efficiency Considerations for LED-Based Lighting of Multipurpose Outdoor Environments

摘要: Nowadays, street lighting accounts for 53% of outdoor use, and the market is continuously increasing. In context rising energy prices growing environmental awareness, efficiency becoming one most important criteria systems design. LED-based lights have become primary option replacing conventional light bulbs, being digitally controllable, small, highly efficient, cheap to manufacture. Advanced control strategies adapted ambient conditions are needed combine low consumption high-quality ambience according changing specifications. This paper describes an solution aimed at energy-efficient performance in multipurpose environments, where crucial achieving improvements. addresses component level, by optimizing LED drivers, system defining strategy associated hardware infrastructure. The approach designed was tested a real environment. installation assessed using Web-based monitoring application, providing real-time information aggregated historical data.
