interfacing and controlling the dimmable ballasts. The research system is realized through a series of implementations from a prototyping luminaire structure, to a private office, to a small share-space office with increased scale and complexity. Each of the realizations serves a different purpose and makes a unique contribution to the research. Photosensors and ballast actuators are an integral component of the research system. Both the photosensors and the ballast actuators are integrated with wireless platforms known as ‘smart motes’. The wireless photosensor possesses a response similar to a human eye so as to accurately estimate the illuminance on the desktop and transmit the readings over the radio. The ballast actuator is an add-on actuation module interfacing with the dimmable ballast. The actuation module receives wireless actuation commands and translates them into ballast control signals to dim the lights or toggle the lights on/off. The first implementation of the research system was realized on a prototyping single-luminaire structure equipped with a dimmable ballast. Due to the simplicity of the structure, it is highly configurable for various purposes and has served as a testbed for verifying ideas, developing prototypes, and testing algorithms along the course of this research. The wireless photosensors, the developed sensor validation and fusion algorithm, the wireless ballast actuators, and a simple closed-loop wireless lighting control system were tested using this structure. A private office with four luminaires was retrofitted with the research system as the second implementation. A sensor network for measuring desktop illuminance and an actuator network for actuating the four dimmable luminaires were realized. Both networks were implemented with simple networking protocols and were coordinated by 7
a central base computer for sensor data collection and control action management. This office was implemented particularly for a set of human subject tests designed for comparing the research system and a representative commercial daylighting system. The third implementation was realized in a small shared-space office with 19 overhead fluorescent lights. The luminaires were retrofitted with wireless ballast actuators, and an advanced networking protocol was enforced for a practical selfconfiguring multihop wireless actuator network. Individual control of each of the luminaires was also enabled to deliver a lighting condition satisfying all the occupants. This implementation was meant to test the complete integrated energy-efficient lighting system developed in this research and also serve as the testbed for future development. 1.3.3 Verification of Theoretical Works with Implementations The theoretical advancements developed in this research were integrated with the implementations for evaluating the functionalities and performances. In addition to assessing each of the research components individually, three integrative tests were conducted on the implemented systems, including lighting control with distributed sensor fusion, user testing, and integrated optimal lighting control. The study of lighting control with distributed sensor fusion was first conducted on the prototyping luminaire structure. The fuzzy sensor validation and fusion algorithm originally designed for processing on a central computing base was deployed to the photosensor nodes so as to avoid massive and costly wireless transmissions of every single sensor reading. The sensor readings were transmitted inside the cluster of sensors with relatively short distance and low power, and were fused by the sensor node in 8
