Sistemas inteligentes de iluminação : inteligência artificial em prol da eficiência energética

Abstract

The threats of potential energy crises, as well as the impacts caused by the generation of electricity from non-renewable resources, have increasingly brought to the fore the importance of conscious consumption and energy efficiency. As technologies increase and the world population consumes more and more electricity, it is necessary to control this consumption, making everyday situations where there is a possibility of reducing the use of this resource become a habit. Given this scenario, this project uses a proportional control system as a tool to achieve an optimization in the consumption of electric energy coming from the artificial lighting of environments. The work developed out suggests a constant monitoring of the natural lighting available in an environment, in order that the least possible artificial lighting is used. Thus, by performing an action on the proportion of artificial light, carried out individually on the lamps, a reduction in the power consumed is obtained. The control system acts in order to receive the information of luminosity existing in each point of the place, along with the instantaneous consumption, and, thus, to realize the proportional control of the luminosity provided by the lamps, respecting the minimum illumination required. The intelligent control system is based on algorithms with fuzzy logic to achieve the proposed objective (sic).
