Basically the overall efficiency of the solar cell refers to the sunlight-to-electricity conversion process. On the other hand, the solar cell is better modeled as a current source since for the largest loads the current drawn is independent of load. In this respect the paper defines solar cell efficiency related only to the electrical parameters, as a ratio between the output power and the power generated by current source. Numerical algorithm is implemented in order to obtain the electrical parameters and to calculate the efficiency of the solar cell for different environmental conditions. Also the solar cell sensitivity of efficiency is calculated when the temperature and irradiance levels are changed separately and/or simultaneously. The examples presented prove the correctness and the accuracy of the proposed method.

“…18 There are also several studies in the literature that use LabVIEW programming language. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] When the literature was examined, it was seen that a case study that could perform the lighting course application remotely and could see the results instantly, had not been done before. The study carried out in this context makes an essential contribution to the literature.…”

This research presents a web-based lighting laboratory infrastructure that allows students to access and control application tools in lighting technology education through online real-time equipment. Designed for Distance Vocational Training and Education, this system uses the LabVIEW Virtual Instrumentation Program to control lighting levels. In this program, the interface developed allows students to control and monitor applications online using cameras, sensors, and controllers. In the modeled system, the lighting levels of LED lamps are controlled through PID controllers. Furthermore, a web page was designed that provides synchronized (simultaneous) access to application instrumentation for the students. Each user can run applications in a specific period through this website. Students can also monitor the lighting level of the laboratory in real-time with a webcam. Individual storage of the data obtained in the model also supports conducting necessary analyses. Students can strengthen their theoretical knowledge by running lighting technique experiment applications with real equipment in the Distance Vocational Training and Education. In the evaluation part of the research, the answers are given by the students (95%) also stated that they increased the theoretical knowledge of doing remote experiments. In total 98.5% of students believe that the ability to repeat experiments anywhere in this system will accelerate the learning process.

“…For instance, to reduce the energy consumption of the public lighting and at the same time increase the power efficiency and lighting quality level, in [19] is presented an advanced control system. Whereas for the communication of the lighting modules, in [20] is explained the development of an electronic system using ZigBee module with DALI protocol to send and receive commands.…”

Smart lighting applications are designed to provide management and control of the whole interconnected system, ensuring reliability, cost saving and high efficiency. In this work is proposed a simple intelligent module to be connected in the street lighting system in order to simultaneously control and measure the lamp's parameters. All the data transmission procedure was developed based on the mesh network topology. By taking advantage of the communication structure used for the smart lighting system and coupling sensors to the module, it's possible to gather data regarding the power grid as well. Moreover, for experiments purposes, it was also developed a specific driver capable to communicate by DALI protocol in order to receive and send information from the smart module to the lamp. The results have proven the efficiency, flexibility and interoperability of the proposed smart device.
