description

Shiftable and modulable loads are an essential part of smart grids in the effort for improving the efficiency of the power system and providing new ancillary services. Most of the researches considered shiftable loads and the impact on the power grid. Smart lighting systems are able to modulate their consumption while preserving the visual duty, therefore they can take part to this action. In this context, this paper presents an advanced experimental setup implemented in the SolarLab of the University of Palermo, with the aim of studying the impact on the end-user's energy consumption and on the power grid of smart lighting systems. In this light, different control strategies will be considered: the change of Correlated Colour Temperature of the light source, the dimming of its luminous flux and the combination of the two solutions. The research is part of the Research contract. "Feasibility study of solutions for the energy efficiency of Small Islands" having as the main goal the definition of innovative systems for improving the efficiency of residential and tertiary end-users of small Mediterranean islands.
