Abstract

We consider the control of lighting systems with embedded sensing, communication, computation and control functions at the luminaire-level. Each intelligent luminaire has (i) local presence sensing information, (ii) local light distribution information, (iii) a controller that determines its dimming level, and (iv) connectivity with other luminaires in its neighborhood. In a lighting system of such luminaires, we are interested in achieving localized illumination rendering wherein average illuminance levels of Lo and Lu are to be provided in occupied and unoccupied zones respectively, with a given uniformity level. Under these constraints, we minimize the power expended for rendering in the lighting system. A distributed control algorithm is designed to determine dimming levels of each luminaire. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with a centralized control algorithm in terms of power consumption and achieved illumination rendering, under different occupancy conditions.
