Mestrado em Engenharia Eletrónica e TelecomunicaçõesThe digital revolution of the 21st century contributed to stem the Internet of Things (IoT). Trillions of embedded devices using the Internet Protocol (IP), also called smart objects, will be an integral part of the Internet. In order to support such an extremely large address space, a new Internet Protocol, called Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is being adopted. The IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) has accelerated the integration of WSNs into the Internet. At the same time, the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) has made it possible to provide resource constrained devices with RESTful Web services functionalities. This work builds upon previous experience in street lighting networks, for which a proprietary protocol, devised by the Lighting Living Lab, was implemented and used for several years. The proprietary protocol runs on a broad range of lighting control boards. In order to support heterogeneous applications with more demanding communication requirements and to improve the application development process, it was decided to port the Contiki OS to the four channel LED driver (4LD) board from Globaltronic. This thesis describes the work done to adapt the Contiki OS to support the Microchip TM PIC24FJ128GA308 microprocessor and presents an IP based solution to integrate sensors and actuators in smart lighting applications. Besides detailing the system’s architecture and implementation, this thesis presents multiple results showing that the performance of CoAP based resource retrievals in constrained nodes is adequate for supporting networking services in street lighting networks.
A revolução digital do século 21 contribuiu para o surgimento da Internet das Coisas (IoT). Em breve triliões de dispositivos embutidos usando o Internet Protocol (IP) serão parte integrante da Internet. De modo a suportar tal gama de endereços, um novo protocolo de Internet, chamado Internet Protocol versão 6 (IPv6) está a ser adoptado. O IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) acelerou a integração das redes sem-fios de sensores na Internet. Ao mesmo tempo, o Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) tornou possível fornecer funcionalidades de serviços Web RESTful a dispositivos com recursos limitados. Este trabalho baseia-se em experiências anteriores em redes de iluminação pública, para os quais um protocolo proprietário, elaborado pelo Lighting Living Lab, foi implementado e usado durante vários anos. O protocolo proprietário tem sido utilizado numa ampla gama de placas de controlo de iluminação. De modo a suportar aplicações heterogéneas com requisitos de comunicação mais exigentes além de melhorar o processo de desenvolvimento de aplicações, adaptou-se o Contiki OS à placa LED driver de 4 canais (4LD) da Globaltronic. Esta dissertação descreve o trabalho conduzido para adaptar o Contiki OS ao microprocessador Microchip TM PIC24FJ128GA308 e apresenta uma solução baseada em IP para integrar sensores e atuadores em aplicações de iluminação inteligentes. Além da descrição da arquitetura e da implementação do sistema, este trabalho apresenta vários resultados que mostram que o desempenho do protocolo CoAP na placa 4LD é adequado para suportar serviços Web em redes de iluminação pública.

Full textAbstract:
Street lighting is an important aspect of infrastructure in terms of both safety and comfort, but it also consumes a lot of energy. Unused light is a waste of energy, and without any form of control of the street lighting, this problem will continue to increase along with the expansion of road networks. The aim of this thesis is to propose an intelligent control system for street lighting that can adapt to the velocity of individual road users, to investigate if this could provide ways to improve the efficiency of street lighting. Previous control approaches include systems based on ambient light intensity or presence of road users, but no studies were found in which illumination adapts to the velocity of road users. The project involves three main steps, including a literature review, a system implementation and evaluation. In the proposed system, street lights cooperate to detect road users and calculate their velocities in order to adapt the illumination and make it follow their movement. It can be concluded from the evaluation results that the velocity readings help further optimize the illumination control in comparison to systems that do not consider velocity. The velocity readings make it possible to only illuminate the roadway in the direction of travel, while also adapting the distance of illumination to the recorded speed. The proposed control scheme is considered a viable solution for reducing the amount of unused light, consequently reducing the energy consumption of street lighting.

Full textAbstract:
As human population grows and develops, more urban areas are expanding. Urbanisation has many impacts on the natural environment and one understudied pollutant is artificial light at night. The aims of this thesis were to examine the impacts of street lighting on bats and investigate the exposure of British bat species to artificial light at night and explored the mitigation option of part-night lighting. The current exposure of British bat species to artificial lighting was assessed using roost locations and population sizes from a long-term dataset (1997-2012) from the Bat Conservation Trust’s National Bat Monitoring Programme on seven bat species (Eptesicus serotinus, Myotis nattereri, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus, Plecotus auritus, Rhinolophus hipposideros and R. ferrumequinum). These data were combined with satellite imagery in roost sustenance zones and home ranges. Bat roosts were found in areas with brighter light levels than random locations for P. pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus and Plecotus auritus. Species that forage around streetlights (P. pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus) had significantly higher light levels in the landscape around their roosts than species which avoid street lit areas (R. hipposideros, M. nattereri and P. auritus). Colony size was negatively correlated with light levels. This study highlights that different species have different requirements in the landscapes around their roosts. To investigate landscapes effects of artificial light at night on the understudied light avoiding species R. ferrumequinum, eight maternity roosts were surveyed to explore the interaction between habitat features and street lighting. At each maternity roost, bat detectors were deployed at 25 paired street lit and dark locations. Street lighting had a significant negative effect on bat activity. Locations closest to the maternity roost had higher bat activity than those further away and road type had a significant effect on bat activity, with the highest bat activity recorded at minor roads compared with A and B roads. These results highlight the large negative impact street lighting can have on bat activity patterns and the need for mitigation. Several mitigation strategies have been suggested to combat the effects of artificial light at night but few have been tested. One of these suggestions is to restrict the hours of lighting through the night, often called part-night lighting. Part-night lighting has been implemented by many local authorities, often switching the lights off after midnight and switching them back on before dusk. To explore the effects of part night lighting on bats, the hourly patterns of activity for R. ferrumequinum were studied. Bat activity was bimodal, with a peak in the first few hours after sunset followed by a smaller peak before sunrise. To capture more than 50% of bat activity during the dark period of the night, street lights would be required to switch off before 11pm. To explore this further, a before-and-after study of part-night lighting was conducted at towns across Devon. Following the conversion from full-night lighting to part-night lighting, switching street lights off at 2 am, there was a significant reduction in P. pipistrellus and a significant increase for P. pygmaeus and Nyctalus noctule activity. Although part-night lighting is not often operational during peak activity periods for bat species, reducing the duration of lighting at night has impacts on activity patterns for several species. This thesis shows that artificial light at night has impacts on bats across the landscapes around their roosts. Artificial lighting has impacts for species in different ways, depending on whether they forage around street lights or avoid street lit areas. For species that avoid street lit areas such as R. ferrumequinum, street lighting can have very significant negative impacts on the availability of areas around their roosts. This highlights the need for conservation measures to reduce impacts of artificial lighting. Although mitigation schemes such as part-night lighting may help to minimize impacts of nighttime lighting, more tailored schemes for bats should devised to achieve greater conservation impacts.

Full textAbstract:
As of today, around 19% of all electricity that is produced around the world goes toward lighting roads and cities. The light is also produced in a wasteful manner, creating disturbances in nature as well as for people. Recent developments in light emitting diodes offers remedy to these problems but the technology needs a proper revision of street lighting’s purposes. Light emitting diodes use a fraction of the energy needed for previous lighting methods. They offer unique implementation opportunities in physical construction as well as being highly controllable which makes them highly adaptable. The thesis looks at how aesthetics can be used to optimally introduce the upcoming worldwide installation of the new technology. Its unique characteristics were looked at and used to create a Korean styled luminaire and an interactive street lighting system in two separate design processes. The results of the developments were firstly, a modular luminaire which combines Korean architectural aesthetics with a cost effective construction. The second result was an interactive urban street lighting system which suggests a dimmable lighting that through an adaptable computer control responds to pedestrians’ presences. This is a master’s thesis (D7014A) is a project in product design at the education of industrial design engineering at Luleå University of Technology and is worth 30 credits. The project spanned 20 weeks during the spring semester of 2016. The project was conducted in collaboration with Pukyong National University’s industrial design department, in Busan, South Korea.Omkring 19% av all elektricitet som produceras idag runtom i världen åtgår till att belysa vägar och städer. Ljuset som produceras även i ett slösaktigt utförande som skapar störningar i natur såväl som för människor. Nya utvecklingar kring ljusdioder kan bringa bot till dessa problem men teknologin kräver en passande revision av gatubelysningars roller i samhället. Dioderna använder nämligen en bråkdel av energin äldre belysningsmetoder kräver och medför en revolution i fysiska implementeringsmöjligheter medans de även låter sig kontrolleras till en hög grad. Dessa egenskaper gör att de har en oöverträffad anpassningsbarhet. Examensarbetet ser till hur estetik kan användas för att optimalt introducera lamporna i den världomfattande installationen dem. Lampornas unika möjligheter undersöktes och användes till att utveckla ett Koreansk-inspirerat gatulyse och ett interaktivt belysningssystem i två separata designprocesser. Resultatet av utvecklingarna var först, en modulbaserad armatur med en kostnadseffektiv konstruktion. Det andra resultatet var ett interaktivt stadsbelynsingssystem som föreslår ett dämpningsbart system vilket genom en adapterbar dator svarar på fotgängares närvaro. Detta examensarbete (D7014A) är ett projekt inom industriell design på utbildningen Teknisk design vid Luleå Tekniska Universitet och innefattar 30 högskolepoäng.

A ocorrência da poluição luminosa foi detectada a partir de 1970 pela redução da visibilidade dos corpos celestes no período noturno, sendo posteriormente associada a implicações negativas relacionadas à fauna, à flora e aos indivíduos. É definida como os efeitos nocivos causados pela iluminação elétrica inadequada, sendo a iluminação pública responsável por grande parte do problema. Em Porto Alegre o fenômeno é confirmado por imagens de satélites que medem o brilho artificial do céu noturno e apontam níveis máximos na região central da cidade. Situação essa que pode ter sido agravada por grandes projetos de modificação da iluminação pública, desenvolvidos desde 2013, para aumentar o número de luminárias e iluminâncias na cidade. Inciativas que não estão previstas no Plano Diretor de Iluminação Pública da cidade, embora esse seja um instrumento que deveria orientar a implantação do sistema e, que tem entre seus objetivos combater a poluição luminosa. Neste contexto, investigou-se como a iluminação pública do Centro Histórico de Porto Alegre pode estar contribuindo para a poluição luminosa, considerando as legislações vigentes e práticas de projeto. Essa investigação foi feita por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida a partir de revisão da literatura, pesquisa documental em Planos Diretores de Iluminação, no contexto nacional e internacional, e estudo de campo no Centro Histórico de Porto Alegre. Os resultados apontaram que na área de estudo o problema está relacionado principalmente à temperatura de cor do sistema empregado e à fotometria das luminárias que provocam iluminação intrusiva, ofuscamento e brilho do céu, que são componentes da poluição luminosa.Light pollution has been detected since 1970 due to the reduction of visibility of celestial bodies, it was associated to the consequences to the fauna, flora and human beings. It is conceptualized as the harmful effects given by electric lighting. Public lighting is responsible for the biggest part of the problem. In Porto Alegre the phenomenon is confirmed by satellite images that measure sky glow and shows the highest levels in downtown area. The situation could be intensified due to large projects of public lighting remodeling have been developed since 2013, in order to increase the number of light fixtures and the illuminances in the city. These initiatives haven´t been on Porto Alegre´s Public Lighting Master Plan, although it is a document that could guide the implantation of the system and help to fight against light pollution. With this, to propose research of how the public lighting of Porto Alegre´s historic downtown can contribute to lighting pollution, considering the currents laws and project actions. This study was organized through a qualitative research, developed from a literature review, documental research at Urban Lighting Master Plans, from international cities as well as in Brazil, and field study in Porto Alegre´s downtown area. The results show that the main cause of lighting polluion is related to lighting fixtures´ high color temperature and the equipment that allows the up light emission, causing light trespass, glare and sky glow.

Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.The development of solar roads to convert insolation on vast stretches of land to electrical energy, otherwise dedicated solely for transportation, is in its nascent stage. A great potential is seen for PV application with the maturing of solar road technology. Apart from increasing the versatility by smart utilization of land resources, widening the cover of renewable energy generation will lead to a sustainable, secure energy future. A stand-alone solar pathway for public park lighting or area lighting system, completely independent of the power grid, was designed and operated. Public lighting for 65 m stretch of walkway located next to the Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering Department building, was chosen as a case study in this study. The case study presented simplified method for sizing, performance evaluation and simulation of a stand-alone solar pathway to power public lighting on the Bellville Campus of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Depending on the requirements of the electrical, the quantity and quality of lighting, as well as the required duration of the lighting were calculated. Battery storage capacity, based on the desired autonomy period, and maximum and average daily depth of discharge, were sized. PV array size, based on the type and specifications of PV module, the time of year with the highest average daily lighting load and minimum solar radiation, were selected and measured. Control strategies for battery protection and lighting control conditions were determined, and the control set points were specified. The operating efficiency of solar pathway was evaluated and showed excellent performance compared to the expected with annual average value of the monthly performance ratio and system efficiency. A stand-alone solar pathway system was programmed using MATLAB, in order to size a PV system to the supply public lighting for the walkway. The computer program used, can be applied to any site with different weather conditions.

This research project builds upon previous work related to intelligent and energy efficient lighting in modern street and outdoor lighting systems. The concept of implementing modern smart grid technologies such as the proposed Street & Outdoor Lighting Intelligent Monitoring System (SOLIMS) is developed. A random sample of photocells from two municipal electric power systems is used to collect data of the actual on/off times of random photocells versus Civil Twilight (sunrise/sunset) times. A business case was developed using the data collected from the observations to support an electric utility company’s implementation of SOLIMS as an alternative to current operations. The goal of the business case is to demonstrate energy and capacity savings, reduced maintenance and operating costs, and lower carbon emissions.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is divided in two parts: The first one deal with two main characteristics of the light sources for general lighting: Color quality and luminous efficacy. The second one deals with technical aspects of the mesopic photometry applied in street lighting.
The first part begins by proposing a method to generate a new color rendering index, consisting of a three-dimensional visual index, which was named 3D-CRM. In order to illustrate the use of this method and index, three examples of lighting application were performed: Artwork, meat and fruit. The results show the goodness of the visual index 3D-CRM, that is also accompanied by a numeric index that indicates how the light source tested fits with the gamut of colors required by the specific lighting application.
Complementing the preceding proposal, a statistical analysis was performed in order to define the parameters that make up the color quality of light sources. This statistical study was based on a collection of more than 100 real and ideal spectra of light sources. As a result, it was found that there is another variable that can complement the CRI index to indicate the color quality. This is the proposed index Oc (Optimal Color), which is based on the calculation of volumes generated with the spectrum of test source and several ideal spectra of reflectance to get optimal colors (high saturated colors) at different luminance levels.
This fisrt part of the dissertation ends by proposing an index to generate a classification of light sources according to the requirements of the lighting application and the parameters such as correlated color temperature (CCT), luminous efficacy of radiation (LER) and color quality (CQ). It was demonstrated that the new proposed index called ECQ (Efficacy and Color Quality), is able to generate a useful ranking when assessing a collection of spectra, by giving a desired CCT and the weight that efficacy and color quality have in the lighting application studied. By using some examples of different lighting applications (i.e. different weights for color quality and efficacy) it was demonstrated how versatile and useful the ECQ index is.
In the second part of this dissertation, a comparison of laboratory measurements between two different types of goniophotometers is made. The first one is a standard and photometer-based one, which uses the far-field for measurement. The second one has a more recent technology, uses a CCD camera and photometer as sensors, as well as the near field for measurement. This comparison exercise validates the measurements from the near-field goniophotometer, since up to moment, for this type of measurement and type of sensor (CCD camera), there are no laboratories with international traceability that can verify or calibrate this measurement system. The comparison exercise shows that there is a very good fit between both measures performed to standard light bulbs; therefore results of the near-field goniophotometer are validated. In recent measures performed at the Light and lighting laboratory of K.U. Leuven in Ghent, it was found that near field goniophotometer has a reduced luminous intensity dynamic range, for this reason exists an error measuring low luminous intensities in a luminarie with a sharp LID such as PAR30 Spot light bulb.
After that, some aspects of the Recommended System for Mesopic Photometry Based on Visual Performance, CIE191:2010 are analysed. Finally it is presented a proposal of a new metrics called Energy Consumption Index (Qsa) intended to assessing possible energy savings on street lighting systems. In this chapter, by using the Energy Consumption Index an evaluation of three different hypothetical scenarios for a typical city is performed to demonstrate how flexible and intuitive this index is. These scenarios assess different characteristics of the light system such as light sources types, dimming systems and also the use of photopic and mesopic photometry.Esta tesis se divide en dos partes: La primera trata con dos características principales de las fuentes de luz para la iluminación general: la calidad del color y de eficacia luminosa. El segundo se ocupa de los aspectos técnicos de la fotometría mesópica aplicada en el alumbrado público. La primera parte comienza proponiendo un procedimiento para generar un nuevo índice de rendimiento de color, que consiste en un índice visual tridimensional, llamado 3D-CRM. Con el fin de ilustrar el uso de este índice, se realizaron tres ejemplos de aplicación de iluminación: Arte, carnes y frutas. Los resultados muestran la bondad del índice visual 3D-CRM, que también se acompaña de un índice numérico que indica que tan bien una fuente de luz bajo prueba repolores la gama de colores para una aplicación de iluminación específica. Como complemento de la propuesta anterior, se realizó un análisis estadístico con el fin de definir los parámetros que componen la calidad de color de fuentes de luz. Este estudio estadístico se basa en una colección de más de 100 espectros reales e ideales de fuentes de luz. Como resultado, se encontró que hay otra variable que puede complementar el índice CRI para indicar la calidad del color. Este es el índice propuesto Oc (óptima del color), que se basa en el cálculo de los volúmenes generados con el espectro de la fuente de prueba y varios espectros ideal de reflectancia para obtener colores óptimos (colores de alta saturación) a diferentes niveles de luminancia. Esta primera parte termina proponiendo un índice para generar una clasificación de las fuentes de luz de acuerdo con los requisitos de la aplicación de iluminación y los parámetros tales como la temperatura de color correlacionada (CCT), la eficacia lumínica de radiación (LER) y la calidad de color (CQ ). Se demostró que el nuevo índice propuesto llamada ECQ (eficacia y calidad del color), es capaz de generar una clasificación útil en la evaluación de una colección de espectros, dando un CCT deseado y el peso que la eficacia y la calidad del color tienen en la aplicación de iluminación estudiado . Mediante el uso de algunos ejemplos de diferentes aplicaciones de iluminación (es decir, diferentes pesos para la calidad del color y la eficacia lumínica) se demostró la versatilidad y utilidad de este indicador. En la segunda parte de esta tesis, se hace una comparación de mediciones de laboratorio entre dos tipos diferentes de Goniofotómetros. El primero es uno estándar basada en el fotómetro, que utiliza el campo lejano para la medición. El segundo tiene una tecnología más reciente, utiliza una cámara CCD y fotómetro como sensores, así como el campo cercano para la medición. Este ejercicio de comparación valida las mediciones de la goniofotómetro de campo cercano, ya que hasta el momento, para este tipo de medición y el tipo de sensor (cámara CCD), no hay laboratorios con trazabilidad internacional que puede verificar o calibrar este sistema de medición. El ejercicio de comparación muestra que hay un muy buen ajuste entre las dos medidas realizadas a las bombillas estándar; Por lo tanto, los resultados del Goniofotómetro de campo cercano se validan. En recientes medidas realizadas en el laboratorio de luz e iluminación de K.U. Lovaina en Gante, se encontró que Goniofotómetro de campo cercano tiene un rango dinámico limitado para medición de intensidad luminosa, por esta razón existe un error de medición de bajas intensidades luminosas en una luminaria con una distribución aguda como por ejemplo un proyector de luz. Posteriormente se analizan, algunos aspectos del sistema recomendado para fotometría mesópica basado en el rendimiento visual, CIE191: 2010. Por último se presenta una propuesta de una nueva métrica llamada Índice de Consumo de Energía (Qsa) destinado a evaluar los posibles ahorros de energía en los sistemas de alumbrado público

Energia está no cerne do desenvolvimento urbano sustentável. Devido à pressão causada pelas crescentes evidências do desafio das mudanças climáticas, necessidade de aumento de segurança energética e redução de poluição local, além de oportunidade de ganhos com redução de custos operacionais, a eficiência energética surge como uma estratégia fundamental para o meio ambiente, economia e sociedade, especialmente quando se constata que pouco mais da metade da energia produzida no mundo é desperdiçada até o seu uso final. Dada a relevância do setor de iluminação no contexto de consumo de energia elétrica (cerca de 15 por cento do consumo global), esta pesquisa faz uma análise da introdução da tecnologia de diodos emissores de luz – LED (em inglês Light Emitting Diode) no setor de iluminação pública (3 por cento do consumo de energia elétrica no Brasil), a partir de uma análise dos impactos socioambientais e econômicos, com foco num estudo de caso na cidade de Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos. Este projeto pioneiro é considerado uma das mais bem sucedidas iniciativas na introdução da tecnologia no mundo.
Apesar dos grandes avanços na tecnologia LED, que revoluciona todo o mercado de iluminação, ainda são observados desafios para sua adoção de forma mais acelerada, especialmente no Brasil. O trabalho faz uma avaliação do potencial de economia de energia com a adoção da tecnologia LED no sistema de iluminação pública no Brasil e analisa os desafios para sua introdução e propõe sugestões de como rompê-los.Energy is at the core of sustainable urban development. And energy efficiency has been emerging as a key strategy for the environment, economy and society, given the pressures caused by the growing evidence of the challenges of climate change, the need to increase energy security and reduce local pollution, in addition to opportunities around cost savings. When the amount of energy losses is assessed, where more than half of the global energy produced is wasted by the time it reaches its final use and when the need to promote social inclusion is considered, where 1.1 billion people do not have access to electricity, the more critical this strategy becomes - to reduce losses, to increase the efficiency of conversion processes close to its maximum yields, and also to introduce disruptive changes to the conversion processes, increasing its theoretical yields. Given the relevance of the lighting industry in the context of electricity consumption (about 15 percent of global consumption), this study analyzes the introduction of LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology in the street lighting sector (3 percent of electricity consumption in Brazil). It is an example of innovation technology that brings in a new paradigm of electricity conversion, which is nine times more efficient than conventional incandescent lamps, with the potential to be twice as efficient as high sodium vapor lamps. In addition, LED technology will enable street lighting to be a multi-dimension system, that goes beyond providing adequate lighting levels, but promoting connectivity, communication, monitoring and big data management.

Full textAbstract:
Two studies are used to demonstrate the effect of street lighting on pedestrian reassurance in residential environments. Study 1 - Three Stage Interview, asked 53 participants what mattered to them when walking alone after dark asking them to recall their feelings from memory with and without reference to places of their own choosing. The most common combination of reasons for reassurance were perceived access to help, lighting and spatial features. The presence of threatening others was added to this combination in areas participants found unreassuring. An image study demonstrated the resounding effect of lighting and drew attention to the possible simplification of the issue of reassurance in an experiment with tightly controlled variables. Therefore Study 2 took participants into real environments to see what matters there. Study 2 - Residential Street Surveys, took 77 participants to 9 residential streets in Sheffield and asked them to rate their perception of safety among other factors such as the presence of hiding places and perceived access to help. Photometric measurements revealed that the pattern of light expressed in the length and level of areas of low luminance matters to reassurance, as does vertical illumination and the lit appearance of the whole surroundings, not just the path ahead. It was found that low uniformity is acceptable in some circumstances. However street lighting cannot always be presented as a solution to the problem of the fall of darkness as it had less of an effect in environments with low perceived access to help and who else is on the street matters to reassurance regardless of lighting. An effect of seasonal variation in lighting conditions was also found. To summarise, Study 1 found that people think lighting matters, and Study 2 reaffirmed that it does, indicating possible minimum acceptable lighting conditions, which may be different to good practice. Further research is necessary to further explore the circumstances in which these minimum acceptable conditions apply and to define good lighting practice.

Full textAbstract:
As much as we thought about artificial lighting in planning of our urban nightscape, it is necessary to balance it with consideration regarding darkness. In response to the problems caused by artificial lighting; such as light pollution and disruption to human circadian rhythm, darkness should be seen as a value that brings balance for the environment. There are nine values of darkness in urban illumination; efficiency, sustainable, ecology, healthiness, happiness, connects to nature, stellar visibility, heritage & tradition, wonder & beauty (Stone, 2019). In Designing for Darkness, Stone (2019) described three concepts to bring darkness into urban illumination design; Incremental Darkening, Environmentally Responsive Lighting, and Urban (Dark) Acupuncture. Urban Acupuncture is an effort to revitalize area and its surroundings through intervention in the strategic key point. (Leiner, 2014). In terms of urban lighting, the concept of Urban (Dark) Acupuncture described as an attempt to accentuate a strategic location in a city with darkness (Stone, 2019). This master thesis aims to apply the Urban (Dark) Acupuncture concept into a conceptual lighting design proposal for Sudirman Street, Jakarta. Functioned as a Central Business District of Jakarta, Sudirman Street is considered as a strategic key point for the intervention. The design proposal will be focusing on pedestrian facility of the street, and final result will be evaluated by the user. Keywords: Urban Lighting, Urban Acupuncture, Light Pollution, Darkness

Accurate assessment of road luminance provided by overhead streetlights helps to optimize the visibility of objects on the road and therefore promotes driver safety, while minimizing energy consumption. To calculate road luminance, the road surface reflectivity has to be known. Odyssey Energy Limited has developed a prototype system that has the potential to determine the road reflectivity properties at high speed. In this thesis, an investigation into the prototype system has been conducted and further enhancement and redesign has been done. A portable on-site road surface reflectivity measurement system that complies with the Commission Internationale de I' Eclairage (CIE) standard was developed. The road test of this new system has been carried out on a series of Hamilton city roads. It proved that the new system is capable of measuring the road surface reflectivity and classifying the road into its appropriate R class according to the CIE standards specified in street lighting design criteria. Later the OEL prototype system was calibrated against the new system to find out the correlation between the two systems.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 150 years the natural nighttime environment has been drastically altered by the proliferation of artificial light. The amount of artificial light at night is on the increase, and there is a current trend to replace older lighting with more energy efficient types such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) or ceramic metal halide; in Cornwall, UK, there has been a relatively recent replacement of the street lighting, from low pressure sodium to ceramic metal halide. Alongside the increasing amount of artificial nighttime light, recent research has highlighted declines in macro moth numbers. Given the well-known ‘flight-to-light’ behaviour of moths, and the negative effects this behaviour can have, alongside other known and potential ways in which nighttime light can affect moths, the increasing amount of artificial light in the environment is a suspected contributor to the declines. It is particularly important to understand how modern lighting technologies will impact upon moths, as different spectra of light are known to vary in terms of how attractive they are. As a means to determine the potential impact of different street lighting types on moths, particularly the ceramic metal halide lighting rolled out in Cornwall, UK, we compared the attractiveness to macro moths, of a number of increasingly used, energy efficient, street lighting types. We found that shorter wavelength metal halide lighting attracted significantly more individuals and species of moth than longer wavelength high pressure sodium lighting. In a second experiment, we also found ceramic metal halide lighting to be more attractive to macro moths than LED lighting. Reduced emissions of short wavelength UV light was deemed the likely reason behind the fewer macro moths attracted to the high pressure sodium and LED lighting. Interestingly, we also found striking differences in the relative attractiveness of the different lighting types to different moth groups. The metal halide lighting attracted significantly more Noctuidae than high pressure sodium lighting, whereas both high pressure sodium and metal halide lighting were equally attractive to Geometridae. Understanding accurately the extent to which different groups of moth are attracted to different wavelengths of light could be useful in determining the impact of artificial light on moth populations. In addition to impacting moths through attraction, artificial light has the potential to alter the day length as perceived by organisms, which at mid- to high latitudes is utilised by certain species as an abiotic cue to ensure the coincidence of development with favourable environmental conditions. Due to a paucity of knowledge on how raised ambient nighttime light levels affect moths and the trophic levels with which they interact, we carried out analyses into the impact of nighttime light on the winter moth and its host plant oak; a well-studied model system, where synchrony between moth egg hatch and oak budburst is important for the moth’s survival. Firstly we carried out an analysis looking at the relationship between the amount of nighttime light and the date of oak budburst. Spatially referenced budburst dates were matched with satellite imagery of nighttime lighting and average spring temperature data, and the relationship between the variables was analysed. Model predictions suggested that oak budburst occurs earlier in brighter areas. In addition, the predicted advance of budburst in brighter areas was still apparent when analysing only the data points that fell outside of large urban areas, where the urban heat island effect is likely reduced. The findings suggested that artificial nighttime light may be causing an advance in oak budburst. To follow up the spatial analysis we carried out a field experiment. We used light cages that simulated various nighttime lighting scenarios to test whether oak budburst and winter moth egg hatch were affected by low intensity light at night. In contrast to the spatial analysis, there was no significant relationship found between light treatment and the phenology of either oak budburst or winter moth egg hatch. However, there was a suggestion in the data that the higher buds of the oak saplings emerged earlier in the yellow light treatment, highlighting the need for further research into the potential impact of artificial nighttime light on phenology and species interactions. In conclusion, the findings of this research project provide information useful to those seeking ecologically sensitive lighting solutions, and also highlight a potential tool to assist in determining whether light at night is a causative factor behind apparent moth declines. In addition, they suggest that artificial light at night may be affecting the phenology of an ecological system at a national scale. Finally, this research project has highlighted the complexity of the ecological impacts of artificial light at night, and also a need for further research.

Os sistemas de iluminação pública (IP) no Brasil atravessam um momento de mudanças significativas, que implicam em novos paradigmas, desafios e perspectivas para o setor. Essas transformações começam com a transferência dos ativos de IP para os municípios, exigindo que os gestores municipais estejam preparados e capacitados para assumir esse serviço público essencial que anteriormente não era de sua responsabilidade. Além disso, novas tecnologias de iluminação, como os diodos emissores de luz (LEDs), surgem como alternativa às tecnologias convencionais, acarretando muitos impactos e alterações de conceitos no projeto, gestão e manutenção dos sistemas de IP. Assim, esta tese traça um panorama da iluminação pública no país, abrangendo questões referentes à gestão e manutenção do sistema, enfatizando os desafios ligados à transferência dos ativos de iluminação pública para os municípios, além da complexidade inerente à mudança de tecnologia para os LEDs. A discussão é organizada em duas vertentes principais: a gestão da IP, com ênfase nos desafios associados à transferência dos ativos; e a consolidação de novas tecnologias, sobretudo os LEDs. Nesse âmbito, com o objetivo de contribuir para uma utilização mais eficiente dos sistemas de iluminação, este trabalho propõe a consolidação da fotometria mesópica na elaboração de projetos luminotécnicos de IP, uma vez que, nesses casos, é comum deparar-se com condições de baixa luminância, nas quais a sensibilidade espectral da visão humana é diferente das condições supostas pela fotometria clássica. Neste sentido, procura-se explorar em detalhes a recomendação CIE 191:2010, que propõe multiplicadores de correção para a adaptação de grandezas fotométricas convencionais em grandezas mesópicas. Todavia, para se obter tais multiplicadores, é necessária a obtenção da relação entre os fluxos escotópico e fotópico da fonte luminosa (relação S/P), o que exige equipamentos especiais não facilmente disponíveis à maior parte dos projetistas. Com o objetivo de contornar essa dificuldade, esta tese de doutorado propõe uma equação geral que permita realizar o cálculo de S/P em função da temperatura de cor correlata e do índice de reprodução de cor da fonte de luz a ser empregada, que são informações normalmente disponibilizadas nos catálogos de fabricantes ou embalagens de lâmpadas comerciais. A equação encontrada apresentou coeficientes de correlação e de determinação próximos da unidade, o que lhe garante boa confiabilidade. Pela obtenção da relação S/P com auxílio da técnica proposta, um projeto luminotécnico típico tem sua rotina alterada, algo que é demonstrado e exemplificado ao final do texto.
The street lighting systems in Brazil are going through a time of significant changes that involve new paradigms, challenges and prospects for the sector. These changes begin with the transfer of street lighting assets to municipalities, demanding that municipal managers are prepared and able to manage this essential public service that previously was not your responsibility. In addition, new lighting technologies such as light-emitting diodes (LED) are an alternative to conventional technologies, resulting in many impacts and changes of concepts in the design, management and maintenance of street lighting systems. Thus, this thesis provides an overview of street lighting in Brazil, covering issues relating to the management and maintenance of the system, emphasizing the challenges linked to the transfer of street lighting assets to the municipalities, in addition to the inherent complexity of LED technology. The discussion is organized into two main areas: the management of system, with emphasis on the challenges associated with the transfer of assets; and the consolidation of new technologies, especially the LED. In this context, in order to contribute to a more efficient use of lighting systems, this thesis proposes the consolidation of mesopic photometry in the development of street lighting projects, since in such cases it is common to encounter poor conditions luminance, in which the spectral sensitivity of human vision is different from the conditions in the classical photometry. In this sense, it is covered in detail the CIE 191:2010 technical report, which proposes correction factors for the adaptation of conventional photometric quantities in mesopic quantities. However, to obtain such factors, it is required to obtain the relationship between the scotopic and photopic luminous flux of light source (S/P ratio), which requires special equipment not readily available to most lighting designers. Thus, this PhD thesis proposes a general equation that provides the S/P ratio as a mathematical function of correlated color temperature and color rendering index of the light source, which are information usually available in catalogs of manufacturers or products packaging. The proposed equation showed correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination parameters closed to unity, which guarantees good reliability. By obtaining the S/P ratio with the aid of proposed technique, a typical lighting design has changed his routine, something that is demonstrated and exemplified in final of the text.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur en ökad belysningsstyrka på övergångsställen påverkar bilisters hastighet. Vid vissa övergångsställen används idag intensivbelysning. Intensivbelysning innebär att belysningen förstärkts vid platsen och utformas av en eller flera armaturer över eller i anknytning till övergångsställen för att öka synbarheten för fotgängare. Målet med studien är att undersöka om en ökad belysningsstyrka på övergångsställen har en positiv eller en negativ påverkan på bilisters hastighet och därför kunna bidra till en ökad kunskap inom trafiksäkerhet. För att undersöka hur intensivbelysning påverkar bilisters hastighet har hastighetsmätningar utförts på två övergångsställen i centrala Jönköping samt vid en kontrollplats. Hastighetsmätningarna utfördes på en urban väg med en hastighetsbegränsning på 40 km/h. mätningarna utfördes under perioden 2020-03-16 – 2020-03-24. Det ena övergångsstället har intensivbelysning det andra har det inte, för att kunna jämföra de två platserna utfördes mätningar av både luminans och belysningsstyrka. Övergångsstället med intensivbelysning benämnt som observationsplats 1, hade en medelbelysningsstyrka på 73,27 lux och en medelluminans på 2,7 cd/m². Övergångsstället utan intensivbelysning benämnt som observationsplats 2, hade en medelbelysningsstyrka på 15.63 lux och en medelluminans på 1,3 cd/m². Det skiljer alltså 57,64 lux i medelbelysningsstyrka mellan observationsplats 1 och observationsplats 2, och 1,4 cd/m² i medelluminans. Vid observationsplats 1 uppmättes dagtid 10 passager. Vilket resulterade i en medelhastighet på 35,7 km/h (standardavvikelse 4,6 km/h). Kvällstid uppmättes 35 passager. Vilket resulterade i en medelhastighet på 37,49 km/h (standardavvikelse 5,3 km/h). Vid observationsplats 2 uppmättes dagtid 10 passager. Vilket resulterade i en medelhastighet på 40 km/h (standardavvikelse 4 km/h). Kvällstid uppmättes 34 passager. Vilket resulterade i en medelhastighet på 36 km/h (standardavvikelse 4 km/h). Resultatet från studien antyder att intensivbelysning vid övergångsställen leder till en högre fordonshastighet. Skillnaden i medelhastighet mellan observationsplats 1 och observationsplats 2 var låg 1,49 km/h, standardavvikelsen var hög (observationsplats 1 5,3 km/h observationsplats 2 4 km/h).

Dissertação de Mestrado em Administração PúblicaA Iluminação Pública noturna das vias de circulação rodoviária deve ser uma prioridade da Administração Pública Local, porque permite reduzir o número de acidentes e evitar perdas quer de vidas humanas quer de património. Este estudo colmata uma lacuna detetada e contribui para a literatura sobre acidentes rodoviários noturnos com vítimas, na medida em que se inclui a variável Pontos de Luz, incide sobre o município de Loures e usa uma análise Logit para estimar a relação entre 32614 Pontos de Luz e os acidentes rodoviários noturnos com vítimas ocorridos entre 2000-2017, totalizando 7815 acidentes. Controla também para os seguintes fatores: a via, o tráfego, as condições atmosféricas à altura do acidente, se este ocorreu com ou sem atropelamentos, a idade do condutor, o tipo de veículo e, por fim, a idade dos veículos acidentados. Os resultados de estimação sugerem que a falta de Iluminação Pública no traçado é um fator determinante na ocorrência de acidentes noturnos. Estima-se que poderiam ter sido evitados 176 acidentes mortais, sendo que um Ponto de Luz pode evitar no mínimo um acidente mortal. Este estudo inovador face à literatura traz implicações para a Administração Pública. Não só faz sugestões de melhoria da base de dados sobre acidentes da Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária, como também propõe uma reconfiguração do número de Pontos de Luz, para que se diminua com eficácia a sinistralidade rodoviária.
Nocturnal Public Illumination of road traffic routes must be a priority for Local Public Administration, because it allows to reduce the number of accidents and to avoid losses either of human lives, either of property. This study fills gap we detected and contributes to the literature about nocturnal road accidents with victims in so far as includes the variable Points of Light, focuses on the Loures municipality, and uses a Logit analysis to estimate the relationship between 32614 points of light and night traffic accidents with victims that occurred between 2000 and 2017, a total of 7815 accidents. It also controls for the following factors: the road, the traffic, the weather conditions at the time of the accident, whether it occurred with or without pedestrian casualties, the age of the driver, and the type of vehicle, as well as the age of the crashed vehicles. In fact, it is estimated that 176 fatal accidents could have been prevented, because a point of light can prevent at least one fatal accident. This innovative study has implications for Public Administration. Not only does it suggest improving the National Road Safety Authority's accident database, but also proposes a reconfiguration of the number of points of light to effectively reduce road accidents.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um sistema sem fio de gestão de iluminação pública. Através do sistema desenvolvido, é possível controlar a potência de cada lâmpada de vapor de sódio de alta pressão dos postes de iluminação pública de determinada região. Desta maneira, nos horários em que as vias públicas se tornam menos utilizadas, é possível reduzir a potência e o brilho das lâmpadas e economizar energia elétrica. O sistema proposto utiliza o protocolo ZigBee para realizar a comunicação sem fio entre os módulos instalados nos postes. Este protocolo é baseado no protocolo IEEE 802.15.4 desenvolvido especialmente para redes de sensores sem fio e foca em baixo consumo de energia e transmissão da informação nó a nó da rede. Também é possível instalar sensores (luminosidade, umidade, etc.) nos módulos projetados e transformar cada unidade de iluminação pública em uma central de monitoramento de determinada região. Os resultados mostram que o sistema economiza energia, sendo possível reduzir a potência das lâmpadas em até 60% sem que o fator de potência do reator saia do valor mínimo estipulado na regulamentação (0,92). Os módulos desenvolvidos dão a opção ao operador de escolher a potência das lâmpadas em três valores distintos: 100%, 80% e 50% da potência nominal, sendo possível alterar estes valores conforme a necessidade do operador e do local onde o sistema será utilizado (condições de tráfego e segurança). O sistema foi testado em laboratório e em campo, em postes da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, onde ficou instalado pelo período entre 05/02/2014 e 01/04/2014. A potência das lâmpadas foi variada e medidas de iluminância e uniformidade foram realizadas na via. Foi possível concluir que o sistema é robusto, imune a interferências eletromagnéticas da rede de distribuição, e dá flexibilidade aos ajustes de iluminância e uniformidade de iluminação da via. O alcance de nó a nó da rede é, em média, de 260 m, o que torna a utilização do protocolo e do circuito desenvolvido adequados para esta aplicação, uma vez que a distância típica entre postes é de 30 a 40 metros. Estudos de viabilidade econômica foram realizados e mostram que o sistema é viável e apresenta taxas de retorno atrativas que dependem fortemente da tarifa de energia vigente
Abstract: This project presents the development of a wireless system for public street lighting management. Through the developed system, it is possible to control the power of each high pressure sodium lamp of the streetlights in a particular region. Thus, at times when the public streets become less utilized, it is possible to reduce the power and brightness of the lamps and save energy. The proposed system uses the ZigBee protocol to perform wireless communication between the modules installed on the lampposts. This protocol is based on IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, developed especially for wireless sensors networks and focus on low power consumption and data transmission node to node. It is also possible to install sensors (luminosity, humidity, etc.) in the designed modules and transform each unit of public lighting in a region into a monitoring station. The results show that the system saves energy and it is possible to reduce the lamp power by 64%, without reducing the ballast's power factor below the value stipulated in the regulation (0.92). The developed modules give the operator the option to choose the lamp power between three distinct values: 100%, 80% and 50% of rated nominal power, and it is also possible to change these values according to the operator's needs and the installment place characteristics (traffic usage, security). The system was tested in laboratory and on field, on the lampposts at State University of Campinas, where it remained installed in the period between February 5th and April 1st of 2014. The lamp power was varied and measurements of illuminance and uniformity were performed on the street. It was possible to conclude that the system is robust and immune to electromagnetic interference from the energy distribution grid, and gives flexibility for adjustments of brightness and uniformity of the street lighting. The reach node to node of the network is, on average 260 m, which makes the protocol and developed circuit adequate for this application, since the distance between lampposts is typically 30 to 40 meters. Economic viability studies have been conducted and show that the system is feasible and present attractive rates of return that depend heavily on the rate of current energy price

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis work presents the analysis and implementation of a connection between two power converters, applied to street lighting with LEDs. This connection is called optimized cascade. The main idea of this connection is the reduction of the processed energy by the second converter, increasing this way the system efficiency. Besides that, the electrolytic capacitor is eliminated, aiming the life-span increase of the converter. To do that, the capacitance is reduced, causing a low frequency ripple, which is compensated by the second converter. This way, it is possible to unify high eficiency with long life-span on this converter. Such characteristics are considered fundamentals on LED driver. To prove the idea, two prototypes were built, one based on feedback control scheme and the other on a feedback plus feedforward control scheme. Both had shown good results, however the feedback plus feedforward controller proved to be more effiective on the active compensation of the low frequency ripple. In the end, a comparison between the two most used topologies on LED driver with the optimized cascade was performed. The results had shown a possible application range, advantages e limitations of this idea.
Este trabalho apresenta a análise e implementação de uma conexão entre dois conversores de potência, com aplicação para iluminação pública com LEDs. Essa conexão foi chamada de cascata otimizada. A principal ideia dessa conexãoo é a minimização da energia processada pelo segundo conversor, aumentando assim a eficiência do sistema. Além disso, o capacitor eletrolítico é eliminado desta topologia com o intuito de aumentar a vida útil do sistema. Para tal, a capacitância é reduzida, sendo a ondulação de baixa frequência, proveniente de tal redução, compensada ativamente pelo segundo conversor. Com isso, é possível unir alta eficiência e durabilidade, características consideradas fundamentais em um driver para LEDs. Para provar a ideia, dois protótipos foram desenvolvidos, um baseado em controle feedback e o outro baseado na união de um controle feedback com feedforward. Ambos mostraram bons resultados, o entanto o controle feedback mais o feedforward mostrou-se mais eficaz na compensação ativa da ondulação de barramento. Por fim, uma comparação entre as duas topologias mais utilizadas em drivers para LED e a cascata otimizada foi realizada. Os resultados obtidos mostraram sua possível faixa de aplicação, bem como vantagens e limitações.

No intuito de aportar contribuições ao uso de diodos emissores de luz (ou LEDs, do inglês Light Emmiting Diodes) em sistemas de iluminação pública, cobrindo lacunas existentes no cenário nacional, este trabalho traz uma ampla análise sobre este tema. São apresentados conceitos básicos da fotometria clássica e um estudo sobre adaptações da fotometria para baixos níveis de luminância, que é a condição observada nas vias públicas durante o período noturno. Propõe-se a utilização de métricas escotópicas em sistemas de iluminação pública, uma vez que estas melhor representam a real sensação visual (se comparadas às métricas clássicas – fotópicas) nas condições de iluminamento típicas observadas nestes sistemas. Aspectos gerais da iluminação pública e um histórico da evolução do sistema nacional são brevemente apresentados bem como uma discussão sobre a situação atual deste sistema e das tecnologias utilizadas. O trabalho traz também um estudo sobre características ópticas, elétricas e mecânicas dos LEDs e uma análise dos diferentes tipos de LEDs brancos mais utilizados (HB – High Brightness – e HP – High Power – LEDs). Algumas normas e recomendações aplicáveis à utilização de LEDs em iluminação pública são analisadas e discutidas, com o intuito de se investigar lacunas ainda não cobertas pela normatização existente. Análises de resultados de ensaios de laboratório e de campo, inéditos no país, realizados com alguns modelos de luminárias LED para iluminação pública disponíveis no mercado, são também apresentadas. Um estudo sobre acionamento de LEDs é realizado, abordando técnicas de equalização de corrente entre arranjos série de LEDs associados em paralelo e diferentes tipos de circuitos de acionamento para LEDs. São propostas, analisadas e implementadas uma estrutura inédita de baixo custo para a equalização de corrente e um circuito para o acionamento de LEDs baseado na integração de dois conversores cc cc não isolados. A topologia de dois estágios proposta é composta por um conversor boost no primeiro estágio, utilizado para a correção do fator de potência e por um conversor buck no segundo estágio, utilizado para o controle da corrente nos LEDs. Por fim, o acompanhamento da implantação e do desempenho, ao longo de dez meses, do projeto piloto de iluminação pública empregando LEDs instalado no anel viário da Faculdade de Engenharia da UFJF é apresentado.

Basic concepts of classical photometry are presented and so a study of photometry’s adaptations for low luminance levels. It is proposed the use of scotopic metrics for street lighting systems, since they can better represent the actual visual sensation (when compared to the classical one – photopic metrics) on its typical nighty conditions. General aspects of street lighting and the history of the national’s public lighting system are briefly presented as well as a discussion about the current situation of the Brazilian system and technologies adopted. The work also brings a study of mechanical, electrical and optical characteristics of LEDs and an analysis of the two different types of commonly used white LEDs (HB – High Brightness – and HP – High Power - LEDs). Some standards and recommendations related to the use of LEDs in street lighting are analyzed and criticized, with the aim of show some gaps not yet covered by the existent standards. An unprecedented analysis regarding laboratory and field test benchmarking, taken for some luminaires available in commerce, is also presented. A study of LED driving is presented, covering equalization techniques for parallel LEDs strings and different types of LED driving circuits. It was proposed, analyzed and implemented a novel and low cost structure for current equalization and an LED driver, based on the integration of two non-isolated dc dc converters. This proposed two stages topology is composed by a boost converter, on the first stage, employed to the power factor correction and a buck converter, on the second stage, to control the LED’s current. Finally, the process of monitoring the installation and the performance, during ten months, of the LEDs public lighting pilot project, on the roadway belt of Engineering Faculty of UFJF is presented.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis work presents a design methodology and analysis of electronic circuits applied to outdoor lighting systems using light emitting diodes (LEDs). The goal of topologies developed here is to supply the LEDs from the mains, with high power factor, and from batteries when it is needed. Thus, some topologies employing integrated DC-DC converters and single stage converters are proposed and analyzed. The main application of these topologies is street lighting systems without energy consumption from the mains during the Peak Load Time, feeding the circuit by batteries. Moreover, the batteries can keep the system working during a possible fault in the main power supply, operating as an emergency lighting system. These applications are justified by the reduction in energy demand from the electric power system and by the increase in the lighting system reliability. Throughout the work, the main characteristics of the LED and batteries applied in lighting systems are presented, as well as the specification of the luminaire and the battery bank employed. The design methodology proposed for each topology aims to help the converter design intended for better utilization of semiconductors and reduce the value of the bus capacitor. A critical analysis of the converters is performed in order to evaluate the efficiency of the circuits, the power factor, the voltage and current characteristics of the main devices, and compliance with the IEC 61000-3-2 Class C standard that limits the harmonic content of the input current. Finally, electronic circuits are proposed for the management and control of the lighting system.
Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia de projeto e análise de circuitos eletrônicos aplicados à iluminação de exteriores empregando diodos emissores de luz (LEDs). O objetivo das topologias desenvolvidas neste trabalho é proporcionar aos LEDs uma alimentação adequada através da rede elétrica, com alto fator de potência, e através de baterias quando necessário. Para isso, são propostas e analisadas algumas topologias empregando conversores CC-CC integrados e de estágio único. Estas topologias têm como principal aplicação sistemas de iluminação pública sem consumo de energia a partir da rede elétrica durante o Horário de Ponta, alimentando o circuito por baterias. Além disso, as baterias podem manter o funcionamento do sistema durante uma possível falha no fornecimento de energia pela rede elétrica, operando como um sistema de iluminação de emergência. Estas aplicações são justificadas pela redução da demanda de energia do sistema elétrico de potência durante horários críticos e aumento da confiabilidade do sistema de iluminação pública. Ao longo do trabalho, as principais características do LED e de baterias aplicadas em sistemas de iluminação são abordadas, juntamente com a especificação da luminária e do banco de baterias empregados. A metodologia de projeto proposta para cada topologia desenvolvida tem por objetivo auxiliar o projeto do conversor visando melhor aproveitamento dos semicondutores e redução do valor do capacitor de barramento. A análise crítica dos conversores é realizada com o objetivo de avaliar a eficiência dos circuitos, o fator de potência, características de tensão e de corrente nos principais componentes e o atendimento à norma IEC 61000-3-2 Classe C que limita o conteúdo harmônico da corrente de entrada. Por fim, são propostos circuitos eletrônicos para o gerenciamento e controle do sistema de iluminação.

[EN] In this thesis, a paradigmatic example of Industrial Mathematics is captured: a real problem of enormous current interest is defined, a mathematical model of it is presented, it is solved numerically using Finite Element methods, different prototypes are made and the theoretical predictions are experimentally verified; Furthermore, in this particular case, the prototypes analyzed here were brought to the market, closing a cycle that begins with mathematical modeling and ends with the transfer to society of a competitive solution to a real problem.

Full textAbstract:
In Gaza, daily blackouts have lasted for over eleven years. Until recently, Palestinian families have received only four hours of power each day. Since Israel’s withdrawal from the region in 2005, the political discourse around the Right of Return has forced refugees to live in terrible conditions and darkness. The fear was that any transformation of the camps will bring about an integration of the refugee community with the local environment and thus any improvements to Gaza’s infrastructure and housing was seen as a direct erosion of the Right of Return. Can bringing light to Gaza transcend this boundary of temporality and restore hope to this impoverished community? With recent solar lighting ideas emerging to help solve Gaza’s energy shortage by solar energy companies such as SunBox and LittleSun, I plan to develop a solar urban lighting project for Gaza’s smallest refugee camp - Deir al-Balah (DEB) - to help improve security at night for residents and provide the community with opportunities to socialise in public common areas. In response to an ‘Improvement Plan’ conducted by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in 2017, which identifies DEB camp’s limited access to electricity and street lighting, I’d like to explore how a solar and ecologically-sensitive lighting programs can improve Gazan’s daily lives, by bringing clean, reliable and affordable energy access.

Full textAbstract:
De façon à réduire l'impact du réchauffement climatique, la Commission Européenne a décidé dans le prolongement du protocole de Kyoto de réduire drastiquement les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. En la matière, le remplacement progressif des véhicules thermiques par des véhicules électriques est considéré comme un objectif clé. Dans ce but, plusieurs prérequis doivent être pris en compte pour le déploiement rapide des véhicules électriques sur le marché européen. Le premier de ces prérequis consiste en la conception d'une nouvelle génération de batteries avec une efficacité énergétique accrue, une plus grande capacité et une robustesse améliorée. Le second prérequis est la conception et le déploiement rapide et économique d'infrastructures de recharge. Enfin, l'émergence de normes européennes dans tous ces domaines est une impérieuse nécessité pour la viabilité économique du marché européen des véhicules électriques. Cette thèse se focalise essentiellement sur le second de ces trois prérequis. Il est largement admis qu'à court terme, l'usage des véhicules électriques sera essentiellement limité aux zones urbaines avant d'être étendu à tout le territoire. Tel que cela est pris en compte par le projet de recherche national TELEWATT dans lequel nous avons été impliqués, les réseaux d'éclairage publics en zones urbaines peuvent être utilisés judicieusement pour déployer à court terme des infrastructures de recharge bon marché. Le principe de base de ce projet consiste à connecter à chaque candélabre une ou deux stations de recharge pour véhicule électrique si une ou deux places de parking sont disponibles dans l'environnement proche. Diverses contraintes électriques spécifiées dans le projet TELEWATT doivent être satisfaites pour permettre la recharge de véhicules électriques sans perturber la qualité de l’éclairage. Dans cette thèse, nous commençons par démontrer la faisabilité d’une telle opération. Pour cela, nous avons développé un simulateur permettant de décrire le comportement dynamique du système global. La force et l’originalité de ce simulateur réside dans sa capacité à déterminer en temps-réel et avec laprécision nécessaire si un véhicule électrique peut effectivement être connecté à une borne. La réponse à cette question dépend des caractéristiques statiques et dynamiques du réseau d’éclairage et de l’état de charge des véhicules déjà connectés comme des véhicules candidats. La dynamique du processus de recharge de chaque véhicule électrique dépend fortement de la puissance instantanée consommée par l’infrastructure globale. Le second objectif original de cette thèse consiste en la conception de politiques d’ordonnancement d’activation des diverses bornes de recharge. Notre objectif est de proposer, via ces politiquesd’ordonnancement, divers types de qualité de service (QoS) garanties aux usagers. De telles garanties peuvent par exemple se décliner en termes d’état de charge attendu pour une certaine durée de stationnementIn order to reduce the impact of global warming, the European Commission has decided in the continuation of the Kyoto protocol to reduce drastically greenhouse gas emissions. In this matter, the progressive replacement of thermal vehicles by electric ones is considered as a key objective. For that purpose, several prerequisites must be considered for the rapid deployment of Electrical Vehicles (EV) in the European market. The first of these prerequisites consists in the design of a new generation of batteries with higher energy efficiency, larger capacity and improved robustness. The second one is the design and rapid deployment of cost effective charging infrastructures. At last, the emergence of European standards in all these matters is an imperious necessity for the viability of the EVs European market. This thesis is mainly focused on the second of these three prerequisites. It is widely admitted that in the short term, EVs usage will be essentially limited to urban areas before being extended to the whole territory. As it is considered by the French National TELEWATT research project to which we have contributed, street lighting networks can be used judiciously to deploy in the short term low cost charging infrastructures. The basic principle of this project consists in coupling to each street light one or two EV's charging stations if one or two parking spots are located nearby. Various electrical constraints specified in the TELEWATT project must be satisfied to enable EVs' charging without degrading the quality of the lighting system. In this thesis, we begin to demonstrate the feasibility of such an operation. For that purpose, we have developed a simulator enablingto depict the dynamic behavior of the global system. The strength and originality of this simulator resides in its capacity to determine in real-time and with the necessary precision if an EV can effectively be connected to a charging station. The response to this question depends on static and dynamic characteristics of the street lighting network and on the state of charge of the batteries of both the connected and candidate EVs. The dynamism of the charging process of each EV strongly depends on the instantaneous power consumed by the global infrastructure. The second original result of this thesis consists in the design of scheduling policies to activate the various charging stations. Our objective is to propose via these scheduling policies, various types of guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) to the end-users. Such guarantees can be declined for instance in terms of expected state of charge for a given parking term

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis work aims to develop a family of electronic converters with electrical isolation to supply a group of power light emitting diodes, applied to street lighting systems. The converters have high power factor and still meets the IEC61000-3-2, for lighting equipment. The integration between the power stages is realized to decrease the number of active semiconductors in the topologies. The topologies are modeled, considering the electrical model of light emitting diodes, and controllers are proposed to turns possible the reduction of the capacitances values in the analyzed topologies. This reduction aims to turns possible the replacement of the electrolytic capacitors for film capacitors, with higher lifetime. The implemented topology is a converter with 70 W of power, supplying 32 power LEDs with 700 mA. The experimental results prove the design methodology, presenting the desired characteristics, like high power factor (0.962), agreement with the standard IEC 61000-3-2 and high efficiency (88%).
Este trabalho visa o desenvolvimento de uma família de conversores eletrônicos com isolação elétrica para o acionamento de um conjunto de diodos emissores de luz de potência, aplicados à iluminação pública. Estes sistemas devem possuir elevado fator de potência e ainda estar de acordo com a norma IEC 61000-3-2, para equipamentos de iluminação.

Esta redução possibilita a substituição de capacitores eletrolíticos por capacitores de filme, com maior vida útil. Um protótipo para 70 W foi implementado, alimentando 32 LEDs de potência com 700 mA, foram utilizados os conversores Boost-Flyback, Buck-Flyback e Buck-Boost Flyback, além disso o conversor Flyback foi implementado visando a comparação entre conversores integrados e de estágio único. Os resultados experimentais comprovam a metodologia de projeto, apresentando as características desejadas, como elevado fator de potência (0,962), concordância com a norma IEC 6100-3-2 e rendimento de 88%.

Este trabalho tem como objeto principal a avaliação experimental de diodos emissores de luz (ou LEDs, do inglês Light Emitting Diodes) quando empregados em luminárias comerciais destinadas aos sistemas de iluminação pública. São apresentados os aspectos gerais da iluminação pública no Brasil, os principais componentes empregados e uma discussão sobre a adoção da tecnologia LED na iluminação de exteriores. Também são abordados os conceitos básicos de fotometria clássica e da fotometria adaptada para baixos níveis de luminância, que leva em consideração a resposta dinâmica visual do olho humano. Para efeito comparativo, o trabalho também inclui uma revisão das principais fontes de luz brancas orientadas à iluminação pública, e. g. lâmpada de vapor metálico, lâmpada de vapor de mercúrio e, mais recentemente, os LEDs. Tal estudo ampara-se em ensaios de laboratório e em campo tomando como base a lâmpada de vapor de sódio em alta pressão, a mais utilizada atualmente no segmento de iluminação de vias públicas. Algumas normativas referentes à aplicação de LEDs em iluminação pública são discutidas e, a partir das recomendações existentes nas normas NBR 16026 e NBR IEC 61347-2-13, são realizados ensaios de pré-conformidade em amostras comerciais de luminárias LED orientadas à iluminação pública do mercado nacional. Além dos ensaios de pré-conformidade, são realizados ensaios de funcionamento das luminárias LED quando expostas a condições críticas de temperatura com o objetivo de se avaliar as mudanças elétricas e fotométricas que ocorrem nestas condições. É apresentada uma metodologia de projeto luminotécnico para instalação de luminárias LED em vias públicas baseando-se na norma de iluminação pública NBR 5101 (revisão 2012), e o acompanhamento do projeto piloto de iluminação pública empregando luminárias LED implantado no anel viário da faculdade de engenharia da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. Durante nove meses foram coletados dados de características elétricas e fotométricas a fim de se averiguar o desempenho destas luminárias em campo. Por fim, foi feito um estudo comparativo entre o antigo sistema de iluminação com lâmpadas de vapor de sódio e o atual, empregando luminárias LED.

Other than the pre-certification studies, additional studies of LED luminaires functioning when exposed to critical conditions of temperature with the intention to evaluate the electric and photometric changes that occur in this circumstances are performed. It is introduced a luminotechnical project methodology for LED luminaires installation on public roads based on the Brazilian standards of public lighting NBR 5101 (reviewed in 2012) and the accompanying of the pilot project of public lighting using LED luminaires implanted on the ring road of the School of Engineering of the Juiz de Fora Federal University. During nine months, data of electric and photometric features were collected in order to investigate the performance of the luminaires on-site. Finally, a comparative study was done between the previous lighting system with High Pressure Sodium Vapour Lamp and the current, using LED luminaires.

Na busca por eficiência energética em serviços e produtos de iluminação pública, a maioria das iniciativas concentra-se em procedimentos voltados estritamente à substituição de tecnologias convencionais por outras mais energeticamente eficientes, considerando somente a fase de operação, onde há mais consumo de energia, e o investimento inicial. No entanto, verifica-se que há uma carência de estudos dedicados à análise da sustentabilidade urbana, em particular com o foco na ecoeficiência das iniciativas, em que pese o crescente interesse das empresas por produtos economicamente e ambientalmente sustentáveis. Portanto, a qualidade do serviço de iluminação pública quanto à sua ecoeficiência (componente importante da sustentabilidade urbana) pode ser desenvolvida utilizando-se o pensamento de ciclo de vida de forma simplificada para avaliar tanto economicamente quanto ambientalmente o empreendimento, de modo a viabilizar a comparação de tecnologias, desenvolvimento de projetos e a tomada de decisão para gestores. O objetivo do presente trabalho é propor um modelo analítico que permita, tanto os desenvolvedores de produtos e projetos como a gestores de serviços de Iluminação Pública IP, gerenciar seus recursos para garantir maior ecoeficiência na transição para tecnologias mais avançadas (como o uso de LEDs em produtos), que mitigam os impactos ambientais e o custo desta transição. Como método, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, se aplicou a técnica de Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) para avaliação ambiental e econômica de produtos e instalações para IP baseados na tecnologia convencional e produtos com tecnologia LED. Com isso obteve-se uma medida da ecoeficiência associada a diferentes soluções. Na sequência, as informações foram analisadas, comparadas e um conjunto de parâmetros foi definido para constituir um modelo para tomada de decisão. Em particular, foi dada ênfase à qualidade da iluminação na definição da Unidade Funcional. Todas as fases do ciclo de vida foram analisadas (extração de matérias primas, fabricação de componentes, integração e fabricação de luminárias, manutenção e descarte). Como resultados, foram obtidos critérios mínimos de comparação para instalações de Iluminação Pública a LED; identificação dos impactos de novas tecnologias (como uso da tecnologia LED) em termos de emissões de gases de efeito estufa (CO2 equivalentes) do setor de IP; identificação dos impactos de novas tecnologias (como uso da tecnologia LED) no Custo do Ciclo de Vida de instalações para IP e foi desenvolvido um Modelo de Análise para integrar o desempenho econômico ao ambiental (ecoeficiência) de produtos e instalações de IP.Introduction: in the search for energy efficiency services and street lighting products, most of the initiatives focuses on procedures aimed strictly to the replacement of conventional technologies by more energy efficient ones considering only their use phase. However, it turns out that there is a lack of studies dedicated to analyzing this field with a focus on eco-efficiency initiatives, despite the growing interest of companies by products economically and environmentally sustainable. Therefore, the quality of the street lighting service for their eco-efficiency can be developed using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique in a systematic and objective manner, in order to facilitate the comparison of technologies, project development and decision making for managers. Objective: To generate an analytical model that allows both product and project developers and managers of street lighting services to manage its resources to ensure greater eco-efficiency in the transition to more advanced technologies (such as the use of LEDs in products) that mitigate the environmental impacts and the cost of this transition. Method: it was applied the LCA for environmental and economic evaluation of products and street lighting facilities based on conventional technology and products with LED technology. Further, the information was analyzed, compared and a set of parameters has been set to provide a model for decision-making. In particular, it was given emphasis to the quality of lighting in the definition of a functional unit. Every stage of the life cycle was analyzed (extraction of raw materials, component manufacturing, integration and manufacturing lighting fixtures, maintenance and disposal). Results: we obtained minimum criteria of comparison for Street Lighting LED installations, identifying the impact of new technologies (such as use of LED technology) in the carbon footprint of the street lighting industry. Besides, we identified the impact of new technologies (such as use of LED technology) in the cost of life cycle of street lighting facilities. Lastly, it was developed an Analysis Model to integrate environmental economic performance (eco-efficiency) products and street lighting facilities.

Este trabalho propõe estratégias de roteamento e de controle de acesso ao meio destinadas as redes urbanas, motivadas pelo monitoramento e controle de variáveis elétricas relacionadas à iluminação pública. Tais estratégias foram desenvolvidas segundo requisitos da aplicação, trabalhos encontrados na literatura, limitações do protocolo IEEE 802.15.4 e as especificações RFC 5548 e IEEE 802.15.4e (draft). As estratégias desenvolvidas foram incorporadas a protocolos encontrados na literatura, as quais geraram protocolos aperfeiçoados para redes urbanas, dentre eles GGPSR e gradiente em função da maior distância, utilizados para o tráfego divergente e convergente, respectivamente. O protocolo GGPSR é composto pelo algoritmo geográfico GPSR, geocast e retransmissões para os vizinhos seguindo o critério do GGPSR em caso de falha. O protocolo baseado na maior distância é composto pelo algoritmo do gradiente, o qual utiliza a maior distância no caso de receptores com pesos de gradiente iguais e retransmissões seguindo o mesmo critério. Foi utilizado um modelo de propagação realista, no qual foi aplicada a estratégia de mapeamento de vizinhos dos nós de acordo com a distância aproximada fornecida pelo atributo do pacote RSSI. Além disso, para ambos os tipos de tráfego, foi aplicado o mecanismo de controle de acesso ao meio RIT com o objetivo de minimizar o consumo energético. A avaliação dos protocolos gerados a partir dessas estratégias foi feita em simulação utilizando a ferramenta NS-2 integrada em cenários de grande escala fornecidos pela concessionária de iluminação pública Elektro, segundo os critérios de energia remascente da rede, média de atraso fim a fim e taxa de entrega fim a fim. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os protocolos gerados superam protocolos propostos na literatura; além disso, a estratégia baseada na distância obtida pelo atributo RSSI viabiliza a aplicação do protocolo GGPSR. Em relação à aplicação do RIT com a estratégia de parâmetros em função do gradiente, esta se mostrou mais eficiente em comparação com os parâmetros de RIT iguais para todos os nós.This work proposes routing and medium access control strategies for urban networks, particularly related to monitoring and control of electric variables in the street lighting system. Such strategies were developed according to application requirements, studies in the literature, limitations of the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, and RFC 5548 and IEEE 802.15.4e (draft) specifications. Strategies were incorporated into protocols found in the literature, which generated specific improved protocols for urban networks, including GGPSR and Gradient based on the farthest neighbor, applied to divergent and convergent traffic, respectively. The GGPSR protocol is composed by the GPSR algorithm, geocast and retransmissions to neighbors according to the GGPSR criterion when a failure occurs. The protocol based on the longest distance comprises the gradient algorithm, which considers the longest distance when receivers have equal gradient weights and retransmissions follow the same criterion. A realistic propagation model was used, implementing the strategy to map neighboring nodes according to the approximate distance provided by the RSSI packet attribute. Moreover, for both traffic ypes, the RIT medium access control mechanism was used in order to minimize energy consumption. Protocols generated by these strategies were evaluated through simulation in NS-2 tool applied to large scale scenarios provided by public street lighting concessionaire Elektro, according to the criteria of remaining energy network, end-to-end average delay and end-to-end delivery rate. Results show that the generated protocols outperform protocols proposed in the literature; in addition, the strategy based on the distance obtained by the RSSI attribute enables the use of the GGPSR protocol. Regarding the use of RIT considering the parameters as a function of the gradient, this strategy is more efficient compared to using the same RIT parameters for all nodes.

This study is on design of LED for street lighting. Because of energy-saving considerations, the power consumption on design of street lighting is limited to be 36 watts, the installation of light is of 6-meters height, and the minimal average luminance is 15 lux. In this study, Solidworks 3D graphics software is used to design the scale of the street light and the results of the design are imported into TracePro for further optical simulation analysis. This study considers the issues of energy saving and environmental protection. Moreover, the lighting luminance must be higher than 15 lux, with uniformity of less than 3 to achieve good visual quality. Four parameters which dominate the output of the lighting intensity and distribution are investigated for an optimal design. The parameters include the tilt angle of light, light source arrangement, thickness of light reflector, and the size of reflector opening.

In this thesis, we proposed a lighting module of the adaptive streetlight with surface-structured diffuser. By using the proposed lighting module, the light can be effectively focused on the target region of curved roadway to reduce the light pollution and energy loss. Besides, in the practical application of the proposed lighting module, different adaptive light patterns on the different curved roadways can be easily obtained by replacing the corresponding surface-structured diffuser. Based on CIE and IESNA regulations, we adopted simulation analyses. Under a mounting height of 12 m, the lighting module can perform the excellent effects that the central illuminance is 17 lx and the optical utilization factor is 53.79% on the target region. Finally, we manufactured an real prototype of surface-structured diffuser to perform the related measurement analyses and compare with the simulation results as a demonstration.

This study first conducts a literature review on the optical designs for LED street lighting in order to propose a novel optical design. It is found that the height of traditional street lighting ranges from 5 m to 10 m, for various luminaire types, arrangements, kinds of lampposts, and locations. At this height, it is difficult to repair a breakdown, and risks exist during repairs. This study proposes a novel design of LED lighting fixture – low street lighting, which is installed close to the ground, and thus is easier to maintain and repair. The proposed low street lighting can achieve the same luminance performance as traditional street lighting.

The purpose of this thesis is to use free-form surface to design LED street lighting devices. The design has met the CNS10779 standard. The standard provides the required height, spacing, and illumination shape. An LED module has been used for lighting source firstly and served as a sub-module. By manipulating each angle of sub-module and optimizing free form surface parameters with Light Tools software, a qualified street lighting device has been designed, which shows that the averaged illuminance is 30.29 lux by using 9 points test method and the uniformity can be 1.249 which meets the standard requirements. This thesis also addresses a design process, performance analysis, measurement methods, and tolerance analysis of source locations. In order to show the tolerance analysis, a set of LED modules was chosen to rotate 2 degrees right-hand side along the optical axis. The uniformity rises up to 1.313 which is over the requirements and can be compensated by choosing another set of LED modules to rotate 1.5 degrees in the same direction. And the uniformity goes down to 1.249 and meets the standard.

Recently, light emitting diodes technology has been developed widely, and applied in the applications of road lighting. Several researches indicated the LED lighting may cause discomfort glare. Therefore, how to effectively and simply evaluate the road lighting quality is important. However, the commonly used method for estimating road lighting glare requires several professionally measuring knowledge, such as luminance distributions, average luminance of the source area, road-surface reflectance, the illuminance on the eye, etc. and more expensive cost. It is inconvenient for the general light designer. In order to improve the above issues, a novel method was proposed to evaluate LED road lighting quality more simply in this study. Moreover, this factor, which may be significantly related to the road lighting quality, was also investigated. Finally, the proposed method was validated and the feeling of the participant for discomfort glare under different conditions was also investigated via questionnaire simultaneously. The experimental results show that the proposed method can exactly provide a simpler way on estimating the road lighting quality.

This thesis proposes to use a power factor correction (PFC) power supply for providing electric energy to street light LED (Light-Emitting Diode) modules, which can automatically determine the brightness and color in the surrounding in order to change the duty cycle of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for a complementary LED luminance. For example, when it rains or fogs, street light LED modules will switch the light from cool-white to warm-white to increase the visibility. The system utilizes Arduino microcontroller to detect the data of the light sensor and then send the corresponding duty cycle of PWM signal to the dimming circuit. The voltage of LED modules is changed by controlling the feedback voltage of PFC IC. The If of LED increases due to diode property as the working voltage increases, hence the LED brightens; On the contrary, the LED darkens as the working voltage decreases. The aforementioned is how brightness is adjusted in this study. Besides, microcontroller detects the humidity and rain sensors based on the current weather conditions to adjust two different colors of street light and its brightness. To sum up, comparing this street light LED system (adjust by PWM voltage control) with the normal lighting system (adjust by PWM current control), it is found that the former yields better performance. The whole system reaches the total efficiency up to 87% and power factor up to about 0.93.

A completed process of constructing street fixture including LED lens and array in the lamp is introduced and developed. This process is based on public road lighting regulations and specifications to satisfy real road environmental needs. Further optimization can be utilized for improving several primary lighting performances. The beginning process contains the use of secondary optical theory for building the surface-contour of a single LED lens; then the engineering analysis model can be built by computerized graphical software. To mach the rectangular lighting area on road, a rectangle array of 3.5:1 ratio of a group lens is introduced herein that synthesize the lighting fixture. During the analysis of single lens, there exist several implicit and non-continuous mathematical expressions describing the whole computation process. It is impossible of utilizing these expressions for further applying in the work of optimization. In this thesis, the formal experimental plan and analysis are adopted to obtain the explicit expressions between performances of lighting fixture and five factors. According to lighting regulations of Taiwan, the degree of uniformity of lighting fixture has to be greater than a specific value and as larger as possible. The illuminance must be equal to a specific value in written regulation. The photometric distribution must achieve to specific value. The efficiency of lighting fixture required to be as high as possible. The above three main objectives can be transformed to the minimum number of LED lens and maximum value of uniformity of lighting fixture. Those two objectives can be constructed as two response functions by DOE method and software. Then the global criterion strategy is used for solving this two-objectives optimization problem. From the comparison and discussion shows that the final result is better than the similar fixtures in published pagers. It also shows that the presented process is suitable for building a road lamp and fixture.
