2/4 Project Details Project Title Smart, Integrated, and High Tech LED Lighting System Design EUREKAand Development - EUROSTARS Keywords POWER ELECTRONICS, WİRELESS COMMUNİCATİON, ProjectINFORMATION Partner Search TECHNOLOGİES, Form OPTICS, LIGHTING , LED, COOLING, SENSOR, LED DRIVER, LİGHTİNG CONTROL Describe your project: LED lighting systems are replacing conventional lighting systems. In near future, most of the illumination will be performed with lighting fixtures with LED light sources.
This change triggers also technologies and R&D that will be used in an integrated fashion with LED fixtures. These technologies are material science, optics, wireless communications, sensors, automation system, power electronics, information technologies and computer/circuit programming. We expect that the successful integration of these technologies into lighting fixtures are going to create a safer, cleaner and more energy efficient evnironment.
The project idea is to create a smart lighting system for M1 class street lighting. The LED based lighting fixtures will be a part of smart network that can be monitored and connected from a central station. The system will be working with sun tracking solar systems. Driver development, sensor systems, wireless communication, lighting control, optics development and thermal management are the key topics of the project.
Describe the innovative part of your project: We aim to follow a multi-diciplinary approach that will integrate optics, material science, electronic, information technologies and thermal management. The system and technology we target to develop in the project, does not exist in the market One innovative aspect of the project is the fact that multiple diciplines will be combined in order to develop a LED lighting system with high efficiency and low maintenance cost. The other innovative aspects can be categorized under each dicipline as follows: Thermal management: Using polymer in cooling in order to have lighter products, using on demand active cooling in conjunction with passive cooling, designing heat pipe systems Electronics: Smart drivers and local control/automation units that can sense the time, weather conditions and system failures and act accordingly based on pre-programmed parameter. Wireless Systems: Data communication, gathering and control in the lighting system network as well as communiction with a central monitoring and control station. Information Technologies: A central monitoring and control station with a user interface that can be used to monitor energy consumption, system failures, maintenance requirements and other important aspects and also that can be used to improve the system efficiency by changing the sytem parameters via automation. Optics: The target optical efficiency is 92+ %., whereas the efficiency of the commercial systems is around 85-90%
Describe the market expectations of your project: Lighting is a 150 Billion $ business in the world per year. As the result of increasing use of LED technologies in lighting, the whole industry is going through a significant change. The market reports state that the market share of LED based lighting fixture, which is 4% now, is going to increase to 50% in 2015 and 80 % in 2020. 3/4 Currently there is no such integrated LED lighting system as described in project. This expectation resulting in significant market opportunities is to design innovative, reliable and efficient lighting systems for road lighting applications.
