False River Regional Airport in Louisiana Installs First Solar-powered Airfield Lighting Circuit in the World

摘要

LED Solar Test Program went live at False River Regional Airport in May 2010. It's an all solar-powered airfield taxiway circuit using LED lighting products from ADB Airfield Solutions and a solar energy management system from Carmanah Technologies Corporation. The test system is also using ADB's 1 kW Advanced Power Supply (APS), a new generation of power equipment that has been designed specifically for LED circuits. ADB's new power supply was designed around Pulse Width Modulation technology, which is the most efficient method to drive LED fixtures.
