Topology of Continuous Availability for LED Lighting Systems

Abstract

Lighting systems with a big number of luminaires in large halls are a case of distributed loads that need topologies with modularity, whenever possible to ensure a uniform distribution of the supplying circuits, an easier installation, management and maintenance. The LED luminaires give a great impact on the system operation due to their auxiliary series devices and to the high inrush currents of the ac/dc switching power supplies. This paper proposes a topology to design LED lighting systems, configured in a modular scheme of a main AC distribution and a branch DC distribution supplying luminaires clusters. Each cluster is provided as a "double-dual corded" equipment with double power supply and double control type, digital and analogic. The suggested topology aims to make available a system that allows overcoming fault situations by design and permits maintenance activities limiting and recovering degradation conditions. In this way, the lighting system of special locations, for which there is the willingness-to-accept greater financial costs against loss service risks, can satisfy the requirement of continuous availability system.To provide more details on the proposed design criteria this paper describes, as case study, the lighting system of a parliamentary hall with one thousands of luminaires.

Cloud Computing's Potential in Streamlining Laboratory Research and Data Analysis

“…Cloud data storage and management Maintaining vast and diverse data sets is difficult in lab studies. Many cloud storage options exist, including Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage [20]. Cloud storage might help store, retrieve, and manage study materials.…”

The role of printed electronics and related technologies in the development of smart connected products

“…The simplest optical actuators encompass single or multiple LED that can be turned on or off as digital binary outputs resulting from data processed from sensors [269]. One of the most familiar and omnipresent actuators in our daily lives are the displays, that result from large arrays of LED, and more recently OLED.…”

Research on Digital Application of Lighting Design in Public Space Based on Cloud Computing and Data Mining

“…The design of landscape public space lighting scheme is a combination of various activities. In the specific scheme design, it should be carried out in turn according to reasonable steps and procedures to complete the design task more scientifically [19][20]. After receiving the design task, it is necessary to comprehensively, systematically, and carefully analyze the design task book and various materials provided by the design entrusting party, so as to better carry out the next design work and have more exact requirements and design specifications for the design content.…”
