Hybrid Lighting System with Solatube for Room Without Ventilation as Smart Energy Saving

Abstract

ABSTRAKDalam praktiknya, banyak ruangan yang tidak memiliki ventilasi cahaya sehingga menggunakan sumber cahaya hingga selama 24 jam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang sistem yang dapat meminimalkan penggunaan listrik untuk penerangan dengan menggunakan sistem solatube. Solatube akan memberikan sinyal pada dimmer yang mengatur kapasitas cahaya lampu sehingga tidak selalu membutuhkan performa penuh. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, sistem solatube dapat menghasilkan nilai intensitas cahaya maksimal yang dapat memenuhi standar untuk ruang baca yaitu lebih dari 350 Lux dengan persentase penerangan menjadi hanya 1% - 79%, terutama selama penggunaan beban siang hari. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan penggunaan solatube penggunaan daya untuk penerangan dapat dikurangi, sehingga meningkatkan penghematan energi dan biaya. Kemudian alat ini dilengkapi dengan data logger yang dapat diakses melalui internet untuk memantau penggunaan listrik secara realtime sehingga dapat dilakukan monitoring dan evaluasi untuk pengembangan selanjutnya.Kata kunci: Sistem Pencahayaan, Solatube, Penghematan Energi, Data Logger. ABSTRACTIn practice, many rooms do not have light ventilation, so they use light sources for up to 24 hours. This study aims to design a sistem that can minimize the use of electricity for lighting using a solatube sistem. Solatube provide a signal to the dimmer that regulates the light capacity of the lamp thus it does not always require full performance. Based on the test results, the solatube sistem can produce a maximum light intensity value that can meet the standards for the reading room, which is more than 350 Lux with the percentage of light being only 1% - 79%, especially during the use of daytime loads. This shows that with solatube lighting sistem, power consumption for lighting can be reduced, thereby increasing energy and cost savings. Furthermore this tool is equipped with a data logger that can be accessed via the internet to monitor realtime electricity usage thus that it can be monitored and evaluated for further developmentKeywords: lighting sistem, solatube, energy saving, data logger.

Lighting System Optimisation Design using Solatube with GA-PID Controller

“…It results in annual savings of 22.07%. This research succeeded in providing more accurate and measurable energy-saving data compared to previous studies (Mesloub et al, 2023) (Fauziah et al, 2021).…”

“…The study explains many natural lighting system prototypes (Whang et al, 2019). Solatube can conserve energy and has a high economic value of 1% to 79% of indoor light usage during the day in this situation (Fauziah et al, 2021). Solatube is also ideal for smart cities because it adheres to the energy-saving principle (Alzaed and Balabel, 2020).…”

“…And in his study, he explained the proposal to continue research by adding control settings to regulate the amount of incoming sunlight to aid visual comfort (Babarinde and Alibaba, 2018). Therefore, an energy-efficient lighting system was developed by integrating bulb dimmers and Solatube (Fauziah et al, 2021). This combination is intended to maximise natural resources from sunlight as a light source in spaces without light ventilation to attain the appropriate intensity with minimal bulb power consumption.…”

“…These systems consist of three elements; a collector that follows the path of the sun or directs the light into the tube to recover as much light as possible; a tube that carries the light to the area to be illuminated by a transport technique depending on the optical properties of its material (lenses, reflective tube, prismatic tube, and solid core system); it may contain bends that naturally affect the performance of some pipes), a diffuser that transfers the light into the room to be illuminated at the tube exit (Baroncini, Boccia, Chella, & Zazzini, 2010;Carter, 2002;Malet-Damour et al, 2020;Wu, Jin, Li, Zhang, & Ma, 2009;Zhang, Muneer, & Kubie, 2002). Lighting power consumption can be reduced with sunlight tubes, thus increasing energy and cost savings (Fauziah, Hadiatna, Waluyo, & Wahyudin, 2021).…”

Design for Optimization of Solatube Lighting System and Lights with GA-PID Controller

“…Among them are talking about energy savings in terms of using energy-efficient lighting, using AC with an inverter that is more energyefficient, and installing Solar Panels. In previous studies, energy efficiency was carried out by utilizing solar energy (solar cells), both integrated with solar PV and solar PV smart grids [18] [19]. However, the weakness is still using solar cells and batteries to accommodate electrical energy generated from sunlight.…”
