A NOVEL APPROACH ON OUTDOOR SPORTS LIGHTING DESIGN METHODOLOGY AND ITS VALIDATION BY SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

摘要

The sports lighting design is a dedicated task and is confined to the experienced professionals. This proposed algorithm is a novel methodology towards changing the conventional trial and error basis designing approach by predefining the illumination values on the field grid points at the initial stage of design and accordingly the light source photometry is defined. The sensitivity analysis is done through hardware based setup and feeding real time data into the algorithm for simulation based response and hence successful qualitative validation of the algorithm. The performance of the algorithm is also verified by tracing the photometric distribution of MR16 lamp from the real-time data through simulation and that too is compared with the actually measured photometry of the MR16 lamp by Mirror Distribution Photometer. Subsequently for the real time experiments, the power is drawn from Constant Voltage Constant Frequency power supplies to maintain the power quality.
