The EDISON project: Enhanced energy saving solution for Lighting using DC power supply
2013 IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications OnlineGreenComm 2013, 2013Co-Authors: M. Celidonio, Ermanno Fionda, Dario Di Zenobio, Laura Pulcini, Ennio SergioAbstract:The EDISON project', funded under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7), has the ambitious goal to demonstrate, through targeted Pilot actions implemented in different European countries, that an innovative ICT-based solution for Lighting infrastructure may improve energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions and encourage the use of small-scale renewable energy sources in public Buildings. The proposed solution is based on the use of Solid State Lamps (SSLs) combined with a particular method of providing power to them, in order to realize a Smart Energy Platform (SEP) designed to directly contribute to reducing energy losses and consumption in Building Lighting.

BuildSys@SenSys - Designing cost-efficient wireless sensor/actuator networks for Building control systems
Proceedings of the Fourth ACM Workshop on Embedded Sensing Systems for Energy-Efficiency in Buildings - BuildSys '12, 2012Co-Authors: Alie El-din Mady, Gregory Provan, Ning WeiAbstract:A modern Building Automation System (BAS) aims to enhance the functionality of interactive control strategies leading towards energy efficiency and enhanced user comfort. Typically, it is cheaper to embed the BAS within a Wireless Sensor/Actuator Network (WSAN) rather than rewire legacy. However, the cost of a WSAN deployment is a critical factor for the new Buildings. In this context, we develop a co-design approach for assessing the cost of a WSAN deployment while achieving particular control performance. We apply the developed co-design strategy to a distributed control for Building Lighting systems. We empirically compare our developed system for Building Lighting control strategy with a standard PI control method to demonstrate an average of 45% reduction in energy use while maintaining the user comfort and 23% saving in the network cost.

co design of wireless sensor actuator networks for Building controls
Conference on Decision and Control, 2011Co-Authors: Alie El-din Mady, Gregory ProvanAbstract:A Building Automation System (BAS) aims to provide good user comfort within occupied zones in a Building. One can enhance the functionality of a BAS through embedding advanced control strategies within a Wireless Sensor/Actuator Network (WSAN), and also make retrofit applications possible. However, control systems that are embedded in a WSAN can perform sub-optimally if the control system and WSAN are designed independently. In this context, we develop a co-design approach for embedding BAS code within a Network Control System. We compare our developed system for Building Lighting control with (a) a standard PI control method to empirically demonstrate a 19% reduction in energy use and 65% improvement in user comfort, and (b) an MPC strategy that uses only presence-based control, to show 25% reduction in energy use. Our approach also improves network delay and sensor battery usage by 68% over the PI baseline.

Model-driven diagnostics generation for industrial automation
2009 7th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics, 2009Co-Authors: M. Behrens, Gregory Provan, Menouer Boubekeur, Alie El-din MadyAbstract:We propose a methodology for overcoming the current approach of writing diagnostics code for industrial automation applications after the system is designed, which results in significant extra effort/cost, and potential discrepancies between design and diagnostics output. We show how we can automatically generate diagnostics from a more complex simulation model. We show how a model-transformation framework can transform a hybrid-systems simulation model into a propositional-logic diagnostics model with appropriate transformation rules. We illustrate our approach with an example from the domain of control for Building Lighting systems.

simple tool for energy analysis of day Lighting and artificial Lighting for a typical office Building Lighting system design
International journal of energy engineering, 2012Co-Authors: M Vishwas, Prashant Kumar SooriAbstract:Today, energy shortage and carbon emission are the major challenges faced by all countries. There are many ways to tackle this issue by saving energy in many sectors. Lighting is used in many applications and it is one of the areas to be addressed for imp roving the energy efficiency thereby reducing the energy consumption. In this paper, a typical office Building in Dubai is considered for analysis. The first section of the paper reports an efficient use of natural Lighting into an office Building to improve the energy efficiency. This study is carried out using Simulation software VELUX Daylight Visualizer 2 and simu lation results are discussed in detail. The study showed that an ideal office space in Dubai has amp le potential to harvest natural light to reduce the need for art ificial Lighting. In the second section, artificial Lighting is used to complement natural Lighting to meet the required illu mination criteria. DIA Lu x 4.1 Lighting Wizard software is used to design and evaluate artificial Lighting scheme with similar illu mination abilities for the same office space through the use of different types of lamps and the simulation results are highlighted. Its cost effectiveness is also studied. The impact of use of natural Lighting and artificial Lighting on HVA C system is examined and highlighted.
