As more and more organizations consider lighting upgrades for outdoor lighting, they are met with a unique opportunity to also bring intelligence to their lighting systems by bundling controls along with the LED upgrade. But controls are unknown territory for many decision makers. And with LED lifespans ranging upwards of 20 years, they want their construction or design professional to perform a comprehensive technology assessment before selecting a technology they will be using for the next generation. Today, both wired and wireless options are available in the marketplace, how does the professional make sure which technology is the best for the project? In this session, Rita Renner will explore the benefits of each technology as well as the challenges, then look at ideal applications for each. She will also examine actual case studies where only one control technology was used, as well as examples where both technologies were used together, to illustrate how real project teams made assessments and implemented the best technology platform for their situation.

What are benefits of intelligent outdoor lighting control solutions? Understanding wired and wireless control technologies Understanding the pros and cons of each control technology and which applications are ideal for each technology Combining wired and wireless control technologies effectively Looking at real world projects using wired, wireless and combined solutions
7
20-30% energy savings beyond savings realized by LED replacement smart dimming and occupancy sensing Up to 25% maintenance savings Automated asset monitoring Maintenance work flow optimization More responsive lighting leads to increased revenues and/or productivity depending on application can reduce the payback period by 25%-80% over and above LED replacement
8
Fixed time of day dimming & astronomical clock Potential Savings up to 15% Dynamic/Direction of Travel Lighting Event based dimming strategies Potential Savings up to 25%
9
Virtual Power Output Create any power lamp desired Potential Savings up to 10% Lumen Maintenance Compensate for light loss over time Potential Savings up to 10%
10
Extending Useful Life Improving Light Level Increasing Safety Reducing Liability Enhancing Exception Handling Reducing Night Patrols Anticipating Lamp Failure Providing Timely Outage Notifications Cable theft Segment failure Power theft
11
Standalone control solutions Pole specific unconnected devices provide basic automatic ON/OFF according to onboard scheduling or astronomical control No intelligence Networked control technology platforms: Introduce intelligence both at the control device for distributed intelligent control at the pole Centralized intelligent control for scalability, data analysis, and smart applications Two basic control technology platforms: Wired power line control networks Wireless RF control networks Hybrid systems that combine “wired” and wireless
12
– No new wiring; uses existing AC power wiring – Adds modulated communication signal to existing AC power wiring for control communications IP Breaker Panel Power line Segment Controller PL Light Controllers Up to 300 controllers per Segment
13
– Environments where wireless technology is challenging – Subway tunnels – Bridges – Historic districts or other locations where decorative fixtures are used
14
Uses RF communication protocol to send control signals to individual fixtures, transmit usage data back to central management system Controller Ethernet Gateway Central Management System (Wi-Fi) Ethernet Microwave Motion Sensor Controller Microwave Motion Sensor Microwave Motion Sensor Microwave Motion Sensor Microwave Motion Sensor Microwave Motion Sensor Microwave Motion Sensor Controller
15
Retrofit solution for applications where existing lighting is already in place Ideal in large scale external deployments: – Parking lots – Malls – Universities
16
Combines both intelligent technology platforms Power line “wired” network RF wireless network Power line network Wireless RF network CMS Gateway
17
Ideal for city-wide deployments Frequently include conventional street lighting + decorative lighting
18
Assess project goals Identify budget and possible financial incentives Grants Rebates Assess technology fit Consider application characteristics Weather factors? Visibility requirements? Aesthetic requirements?
19
Control characteristic Power line communic ations Ideal application qualities Wireless/RF communicatio ns Ideal application qualities How Hybrid solutions can meet application challenges: power line + RF Requires Line of sight NoCurved, enclosed spaces (tunnels, underground parking) yesOpen spaces with limited obstructions Use RF for streets & roadways, and power line for underpass or tunnel sections Requires wired connections YesUse existing AC power wiring NoRetrofitUse power line for areas with decorative fixtures and RF for conventional fixtures (Corporate or educational campuses) Impacted by environmental conditions RarelyHarsh conditionsPossibleLimited exposure to harsh weather conditions Use power line for areas with harsh exposure (bridges) and RF for less exposed areas (streets, parking lots) Physical installationEmbedded in pole Aesthetic considerations primary Mounted on fixture Aesthetic considerations secondary Use power line for decorative fixtures and RF for conventional fixtures
21
Retrofit 7,200 lights across ~400 streets Improve safety Reduce energy and maintenance costs Maximize asset utilization Power line wired control network Continually surveys traffic and weather conditions Anticipate and pinpoint lighting failures Cut the city’s energy costs by 40% Reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions Met EU’s ISO/IEC 13201 road lighting performance standard Need Solution Outcome Wired control network for reliability and performance
22
Retrofit auto dealership show lot with LEDS + wireless controls Need Solution Outcome Aging show lot lighting Improve merchandising Reduce energy and maintenance costs Enhance theft deterrence Wireless intelligent controls + motion sensors Grouping lights into geographic zones Aggressive scheduling with multi-level control during nighttime hours Realized energy savings of 84% Reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions
23
City-wide LED + wireless control implementation provides personalized neighborhood lighting profiles Need Solution Outcome Lower energy and CO2 Ability to dim non–essential lights 50% Lower maintenance costs Fixture independent controls Self-managed software (no Cloud) Wireless control of 5,000 street lamps Considering pilot of hybrid PL+RF control Neighborhood-specific control to meet resident preferences Guaranteed construction costs, savings, and returns – Approx. $250,000 energy and operational savings/year
24
Combined wired and wireless control platforms for coordinate fixture control from single interface Need Solution Outcome Upgrade 3,615 legacy street lights Reduce utility & operational costs Improve safety Eliminate over lighting Maintain fixture aesthetics Minimize risk Hybrid architecture: Wired control of 500 fixtures Wireless control of 3100 fixtures Energy savings of ~$350,000 per year ($600,000+ with dimming) Initial feedback of “too bright” changed to positive responses after dimming lights to 70%
