Personal control with occupancy and daylight adaptation is considered in a lighting system with multiple luminaires. Each luminaire is equipped with a co-located occupancy sensor and light sensor that respectively provide local occupancy and illumination information to a central controller. Users may also provide control inputs to indicate a desired illuminance value. Using sensor feedback and user...
Storage systems represent an important instrument to increase the renewable electricity generation, in particular in distribution networks. However, there are still many issues due to cost effectiveness of this solution, but also related to the lack of experience on the management of these devices and on their effects on the distribution network. One particular issue concerns the correlation between...
We consider control of multiple luminaires with a central controller and occupancy and light sensors co-located at the luminaires. The sensors periodically provide local occupancy state and illumination information to the central controller. Using this sensor feedback, the central controller determines the dimming levels of the luminaires so as to adapt artificial light output to changing daylight...
The fast growth of distributed generation (DG), in particular from non-programmable renewable resources, poses many challenges on the management of MV networks. Storage systems, operated by the Distributor System Operator (DSO) or by third parties, may mitigate both the local and global effects of the DG. A major challenge is the identification of the optimal position and power exchange according...
The integration of generation units in distribution grids is one of the main research topics in the field of smart grids. Governments are supporting the connection of small/medium size generators directly to the distribution network, but the consequent growing number of energy producers poses several technical issues. For the planning and operation of a distribution network it is then important to...
