Experimental results of an electronic flux regulator’s installation applied to lighting systems in industrial sheds for energy saving

In this article, experimental technical results of an energy-saving project are shown. The innovation consists of controlling lighting flux for industrial shed lamps. The project replaces the traditional electromagnetic power supply with a new electronic one in each lighting body. Moreover, a control box is installed that can communicate with lamp supplies by conveyed waves on the existing electric power network. The timely flux distribution is analyzed here, following the industrial process to provide both a good service and energy saving. The system is designed to reach the best compatibility with the existing wiring and to reduce costs at maximum. A measurement system is installed on site to ensure the estimated saving and economy of investment. The efficiency of the new electronic lamp supply is checked. © 2009 Energy Engineering All. rights Reserved.
