“…Nevertheless, little research effort has been devoted to the improvement of this location procedure. Computer controlled monitoring of the AGL system for locating failed luminaires is proposed in [3] − [6]. A PLC system could be used between the luminaires and CCRs to avoid interaction of wireless technologies with radio navigation instruments and installation of new cables in AGL circuits [3], [5], [6].…”

A PLC system could be used between the luminaires and CCRs to avoid interaction of wireless technologies with radio navigation instruments and installation of new cables in AGL circuits [3], [5], [6]. PLC modems are installed in the secondary circuits of AGL transformers to detect luminaire failures and a central PLC modem is installed in the CCR room to receive and process information of failed luminaires.…”

“…According to the safety restrictions of the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Federal Aviation Agency, luminaire failure is an important issue in AGL systems, with fast detection and location of failed luminaires posing a challenge in terms of cost-saving maintenance and safe operating policies. Computer-controlled monitoring of AGL systems is suggested in the literature for checking the status of AGL systems (including failed luminaires) [3] systems between luminaires and CCRs are an attractive solution for AGL system monitoring [3], [5], [6]. However, this technology is still not sufficiently developed for deployment.…”

Aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) systems provide a visual reference for aircraft during airport operations. Fast detection and location of failed luminaires is an important safety concern in AGL systems. In the event of luminaire failure, AGL transformers introduce harmonic currents. Resonances can increase harmonics, worsening the problem. This paper presents analytical expressions for determining resonance frequencies in AGL systems, as well as a simple procedure based on these expressions for locating failed luminaires from measurements.

“…These systems are single-phase series circuits where constant current regulators (CCRs) supply luminaires through transformers with voltages up to 5 kV (see Fig. 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. CCRs are variable voltage sources, [10,11], which provide an adjustable root mean square (rms) current according to luminaire brightness requirements and ensure circuit continuity, even in case of luminaire failure [4,6,7].…”

Aquesta és una còpia de la versió author's final draft d'un article publicat a la revista [ Abstract: Aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) systems are single-phase series circuits where constant current regulators supply transformers and luminaires. These systems provide visual reference to aircraft during airport operations. There is a lack of AGL system models and measurements in the literature to study AGL system behaviour and predict their response to electrical events and future technological changes. The study contributes to AGL system modelling with an equivalent circuit useful to study AGL system concerns by Matlab/Simulink simulations. It also presents field measurements taken at Reus airport (Catalonia, Spain) for the validation of the proposed model and understanding of AGL system behaviour in the event of luminaire failure.
