This paper presents the design and implementation of a wind-solar hybrid power system for LED street lighting and an isolated power system. The proposed system consists of photovoltaic modules, a wind generator, a storage system (battery), LED lighting, and the controller, which can manage the power and system operation. This controller has the functions of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the wind and solar power, effective charging/discharging for the storage system, LED dimming control for saving energy, and remote data logging for monitoring the performance and maintenance. The proposed system was analyzed in regard to the operation status of the hybrid input power and the battery voltage using a PSIM simulation. In addition, the characteristics of the proposed system's output were analyzed through experimental verification. A prototype was also developed which uses 300[W] of wind power, 200[W] of solar power, 60[W] LED lighting, and a 24[V]/80[Ah] battery. The control system principles and design scheme of the hardware and software are presented.

During the last years demands for higher visual comfort, flexibility of the lighting system in new type of office structures, especially intelligent building, and compatibility with work at VDU place increased. At the same time better lighting conditions should be realized by energy-effective system leading to less consumption of energy. In the intelligent building need the now type of lighting control system, also it should be included for a human-sensibility. It is shown that when designing lighting for intelligent building, greater importances should be attached to the creation of a well-balanced luminance distribution in the field and research for the people by the Ergonomics Planning.

본 논문은 포물 반사경 방식 및 프레넬 렌즈 방식을 이용한 태양광 집광장치 및 이의 응용에 관한 것이다. 본 시스템은 대구경 반사경과 더불어 2차 광학계를 도입하여 광섬유로 입사되는 빛의 입사각을 광섬유의 개구수보다 작게 함으로써 집광효율을 극대화하였다. 또한 광섬유 단면에 입사하는 빛의 에너지 밀도를 낮게 하기 위해 광섬유 다발 직경 크기와 동일한 평행광이 광섬유로 입사되게 함으로써 반사경을 사용한 집광 시 문제가 되는 열발생 문제를 별도의 냉각장치 없이 근원적으로 차단하였다. 최근 각광받고 있는 식물공장에 주로 쓰이는 LED와 같은 인공광원 대신 본 연구에서 개발한 태양광 집광장치를 식물공장에 적용하여 인공조명과 태양광의 혼합조명장치를 통해 식물을 재배하였다. 그 결과 낮 시간대에 인공조명에 소요되는 전기에너지를 대폭 절감할 수 있었다. 혼합조명장치에서는 조도센서를 활용하여 항상 일정량의 빛이 식물에 제공되도록 LED등의 밝기를 조절하였다. 하루 10시간 기준으로 100형 규모의 식물공장에 태양광 채광시스템을 적용할 경우 한 달에 약 28,080KWh의 에너지 절감효과가 있다.

Today, energy problem has become an important issue, and a development of renewable energy is urgent. In architectural fields, a research of the energy efficient lighting system using renewable energy is in progress. The energy efficient lighting system could be realized by integrating a daylight responsive LED lighting control system and a blind PV system. This system is able to save and generate electric energy. Efficiency of this system depends on control methods of blind PV. As a preliminary research, this research analyzed power generation and inflow of available daylight according to control method of blind PV.

본 논문에서는 색상과 밝기가 조절 가능한 LED 조명 기기를 설계하고 구현하였다. 본 조명 기기는 RGB와 백색 LED로 구성되고 마이크로 컨트롤러에 의해 구동된다. 4색 LED를 사용하여 자연계의 거의 모든 색상을 조명 시스템 내에서 표현하도록 하였다. 조명기구의 수명 연장을 위해 LED를 흐르는 전류는 최대값을 넘지 않도록 PWM을 이용한 전류 제어를 실시하였다. 또한 사용자가 미리 설정한 여러 개의 색상과 밝기정보를 저장하고 다시 불러올 수 있는 기능을 탑재하여 사용자가 손쉽게 원하는 조명을 설정하여 사용하도록 하였다. 구현된 조명시스템은 전자기적합성 검사 등을 통과하였으며 실제 조명기구 제품으로 사용가능하다.

As has been expected, economic factors are a major consideration in almost every decision in building design process. Assuming that improving a lighting system, existing or proposed, will reduce operating cost, what preliminary economic guidelines can be established to determine whether any proposed investment appears cost effective? In such a case a reasonable technique to compare system costs is by life-cycle costing. Stated simply, a life-cycle cost represents the total cost of a system over its entire life cycle, that is, the sum of first cost and all future costs. This paper aims to exemplify the benefit of daylighting in term of economic consideration. Four different electric lighting system designs are proposed and a lighting control system that is continuously operating according to the level of daylight in the space has been adapted. The accumulated performance of electric and daylighting is figured out to declare the effective depth of daylight in the space. The analysis on the saving amount of lighting energy due to daylight has been undertaken in answer to the question, that is, several projects are being considered, which is the most desirable from the cost-effectiveness viewpoint. The result shows clearly that although denser layout of lighting fixtures might be more effective to interface to the level of daylight ceaselessly changeable, its economic benefit may not meet the expected criterion the reason of increased initial investment and maintenance cost for the fixtures and control hardware.

An architectural means of optimal daylight distribution is by using so-called light shelf systems, horizontal shading and redirecting devices. The overall performance of the daylighting system can be improved by the incorporation with electric lighting control devices. This paper aims to exemplify the benefit of daylighting in term of economic consideration. In such a case a reasonable technique to compare system costs is by life-cycle costing. Stated simply, a life-cycle cost represents the total cost of a system over its entire life cycle, that is, the sum of first cost and all future costs. Four different electric lighting system designs are proposed and a lighting control system that is continuously operating according to the level of daylight in the space has been adapted. The result shows clearly that although denser layout of lighting fixtures might be more effective to interface to the level of daylight ceaselessly changeable, its economic benefit may not meet the expected criterion the reason of increased initial investment and maintenance cost for the fixtures and control devices.

In this paper, an illumination optical system that can mitigate the saturation phenomenon in the center of an image (caused by the typical flexible-endoscope illumination system using LEDs with Lambertian light distribution) is designed. When an LED with Lambertian light distribution is used as a light source, the amount of light in the center of the endoscopic illumination system is relatively high, compared to the periphery, causing saturation in the image. Since this phenomenon causes difficulty in detecting the patient's lesion, it is necessary to find a lighting-system design that can alleviate the saturation phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper a lighting system with bat-wing light distribution, which can lower the intensity at the center and secure the maximum amount of light at the maximum light distribution angle, is designed. In addition, to check the performance of the designed lighting system, a simulation of illumination and luminance is conducted for a system using a common aspherical lens with otherwise the same components. As a result, it is confirmed that the lighting system designed in this paper effectively reduces the luminance value at the center and secures more luminance values at the periphery than the familiar lighting system.

본 연구에서는 농촌진흥청에서 개발한 LED Chamber System을 이용하여 명기시간 동안 광질과 광조사 방법 제어가 단절단엽의 국화 배양소식물체(Dendranthema grandiflorum L., cv. 'Cheonsu')의 생장에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험은 청색, 적색 및 녹색의 단일광질 또는 청색+적색, 청색+녹색 및 적색+녹색의 혼합광질 조건하에서 이들 광질을 명기 16시간 동안 연속적으로 또는 초당 50회 간격과 분당 20초간격으로 간헐적으로 제어하면서 42일간 수행하였다. 총 일장을 4시간 단축한 분당 20초 간격의 간헐조사는 관행의 형광등 연속조사에 비해 국화의 절간길이 신장에 의한 신초신장을 촉진하였으나, 배양소식물체의 양적생장은 연속광 처리에 의해 유의하게 증가하였다. 한편, 명기동안 녹색광을 초당 50회 간격으로 간헐제어한 경우 연속조사에 비해 건물중이나 엽면적 증대와 같은 양적생장은 억제되었으나 형태적인 면에서의 절간신장은 촉진되었다. 따라서, LED Chamber System을 이용한 광질이나 광조사 방법의 제어는 관행의 형광등 이용 연속조사에 비해 명기시간 단축에 의한 전력소모량 감소 및 기내 배양소식물체의 생장이나 형태제어에 효과적인 배양기술로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

It is known that natural awakening of us in the morning is due to stimulation of the reticular activation system through biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of hypothalamus by the morning sunlight. If we sleep at dark rooms without windows and so without morning sunlight, thus, it is not easy fur us to get up refreshingly in the morning. In this paper, we propose an automatic sunrise household lighting system that helps us fer getting up cheerfully in the morning even if we sleep in dark rooms without morning sunlight. The proposed lighting system is an embedded system that turns automatically on the electric lamp and makes it brighter and brighter coincidently with the actual sunrise. The proposed system is composed of a PIC microcontroller with flash memory, a real-time clock IC, a D/A converter, an amplifier, a dimmer unit, a light bulb, a display panel and a keyboard. The validity of the proposed intelligent lighting system is demonstrated via a prototype production and experimentation.
