Engineering design and assessment of a demand-sensitive LED streetlighting system

چکیده
A solid-state lighting technology was demonstrated at a US Navy Research Center in Maryland – where light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires were substituted for existing high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlighting units, and an intelligent lighting control system was deployed. This paper summarizes the prudent engineering design and implementation of the demand-sensitive feature of the LED streetlighting system at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division that provides an annual average electricity and CO2 savings of 74%. In addition, technical system performance and life-cycle assessment of the HPS and the new LED systems are discussed. Best practices and field experience that can help with other similar smart lighting implementation elsewhere are also summarized. 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملReliability Assessment of Distribution Systems in Presence of Microgrids Considering Uncertainty in Generation and Load Demand
The microgrid concept provides attractive solutions for reliability enhancement of power distribution systems. Normally, microgrids contain renewable-energy-based Distributed Generation (DG) units, which their output power varies with different environmental conditions. In addition, load demand usually changes with factors such as hourly and seasonal customer activities. Hence, these issues hav...

This study deals with the effects of a supply chain (SC) with single product, multiple retailers and a manufacturer, where the manufacturer(he) produces lotsize of the product that contains a random portion of imperfect quality item. The imperfect quality products are sold in a secondary shop. The new contribution of this paper is a new non-linear demand function. Demand of the end customers va...
متن کاملA two-level discount model for coordinating a decentralized supply chain considering stochastic price-sensitive demand
In this paper, a discount model is proposed to coordinate pricing and ordering decisions in a two-echelon supply chain (SC). Demand is stochastic and price sensitive while lead times are fixed. Decentralized decision making where downstream decides on selling price and order size is investigated. Then, joint pricing and ordering decisions are extracted where both members act as a single entity ...
