The Application of Intelligent Lighting in Thermal Power Plants

With the rapid development of electronic information technology,the Internet of Things(IoT),Internet technology,and modern communication technology,people are demanding higher standards for the building environment.Especially in modern large-scale buildings with high levels of industrialization,lighting systems should also be optimized accordingly.This article explores the application path of intelligent lighting in thermal power plants for reference.

Controller Design of Intelligent Lighting Network

Studied are the controller design and basic principles of intelligent lighting network. TI’s MSP430F123 is used as a main controller. By using the ZigBee modules(Xbee/Xbee-PRO) and the GSM module(SIM300C) for wireless communications, the lighting control is enabled to access wireless network. This system uses a mobile phone to achieve light on-off directly, which can accomplish wireless control of intelligent lighting in families.

Design of Traffic Light Based on Field Programmable Gate Array

The use of fixed-time traffic lights for road traffic control has the disadvantage of low traffic efficiency. In order to optimize the vehicle traffic at the intersection, this paper proposes a design scheme of a real-time control system for road intelligent traffic lights based on FPGA. The system adopts the polling control model, the vehicle detector detects the arrival rate of vehicles, and obtains the corresponding traffic light green time length according to the traffic rules and polling model theory. Using Altera’s Cyclone IV series EP4CE15E22C8 chip as the development platform, a specific design plan is given. The circuit mainly includes program-controlled amplifier module, AD acquisition module, cross-correlation calculation module, serial port transmission and Lab-VIEW module. The system can realize the intelligent adjustment of traffic lights. Different vehicle arrival rates are detected at different times, so that the corresponding traffic light configuration time length changes accordingly. This intelligent adjustment controls road traffic and makes the main and branch roads coordinate and cooperate, thereby improving the traffic efficiency of the intersection.

Future trends in intelligent lighting control systems:Integrated technologies,multi-system linkage and AI integration

Lighting energy consumption accounts for a considerable proportion of the total electricity consumption of a building;therefore,the lighting system of a building has great potential for energy saving.With the development of technology,intelligent lighting control systems are widely used in buildings and have good energy-saving effects.Previous reviews of intelligent lighting control systems have analyzed the research progress,advantages,and limitations of a single technology in depth,but have not yet summarized the combination of various technologies and the scope of application.Therefore,this study starts from the components of intelligent lighting control system and focuses on the data acquisition module and control module.Researches on these two modules are analyzed from the aspects of multi-technology combination,combination with artificial intelligence and multi-system considerations,and the application scope and limitations of the related technologies are summarized to provide references for future engineering practice.Finally,based on the development overview of current research,this study explores research directions that can be further expanded in intelligent lighting control systems to handle future development trends.
