Wireless Energy and Light Control and Monitoring Equipment

该项目的目标是开发最先进的基于无线的路灯控制系统，该系统将自动调光，并采用最新的智能计量技术。无线网络将自动配置，随着灯的安装而扩展，并在出现故障时自行修复。此外，该系统还将远程监测单个灯具的耗电量、灯具效率，并自动向中央数据中心报告故障。该系统将可扩展并控制多个网络，每个网络通常由500盏路灯组成，但也可用于更大的网络，最多可达2500盏。该项目的输出将由三个主要组件组成。一个小型无线路灯控制器，安装在每个路灯的顶部，将取代通常用于控制路灯的光传感器。无线控制器将具有打开和关闭灯的能力，并使用最新的可调光镇流器(启动器)自动调暗灯。灯控制器将采用低成本的智能计量技术进行设计，并监控灯的功耗、供电质量和其他性能参数。此外，灯控制器将通过其他灯以菊花链的方式与无线网关进行通信。无线网关将采用与灯具控制器类似的外壳设计，但将配备GPS/GPRS模块和光传感器。网关将作为整个灯网络的主控制器，通过网络发出Groupon/Off/Dim命令，并从各个灯控制器收集数据。数据将通过GPRS/GSM模块传输到托管服务器，为中央数据中心提供基于网络的实时查看和查询设施。

The project aim is to develop the most advanced wireless based street lighting controlsystem which will automatically dim lights and include the latest smart meteringtechnology. The wireless network will automatically configure, extend as lamps areinstalled and self heal in the event of a fault. In addition the system will remotelymonitor individual lamp power consumption, lamp efficiency and report faultsautomatically to a central Data Centre. The syst~m will be scalable and controlmultiple networks with each network typically comprising of 500 street lamps butcapable of larger networks up to 2500 lampsThe project output will consist of three main components. A small Wireless LampController for fitting to the top of each street lamp which will replace the light sensornormally found for controlling a street light. The Wireless Controller will have theability to switch the lamp on and off and also dim the lamp automatically using thelatest dimmable ballasts (starters). The Lamp Controller will be designed with lowcost smart metering technology and monitor the power consumption of the lamp,quality of power supply and other performance parameters. In addition the LampController will communicate via other lamps in daisy chain fashion to the wirelessGateway. The Wireless Gateway will be of similar enclosure design to the LampController but will be fitted with a GPS/GPRS module and light sensor. The Gatewaywill act as the master controller for the complete network of lamps and issue groupon/off/dim commands over the network and gather data from the individual lampcontrollers. Data will be transferred via the GPRS/GSM module to a hosted server toprovide a Central Data Centre with web based real time viewer and query facility.
