Definitions

  • This application relates to the field of light management systems and more particularly to a method and a system for controlling light distribution in a space including one or more installed light sources and an external light source.
  • the performance of daylight harvesting lighting control system is tightly linked to the performance of the photo-sensor that senses the ambient light.
  • Low cost photo-sensors in general are inaccurate and deteriorate over the lifetime of the device. Because such sensors measure light (direct/reflected, artificial/natural) accumulated at the photodiode, they cannot distinguish between light from artificial (e.g., luminaires) and natural sources (e.g., sunlight).
  • the photo-sensor responds differently to daylight compared to the artificial light (e.g., such sensors are more sensitive to daylight than artificial light).
  • the response time of electric lights is faster than blinds, it can bridge the gap quickly while the blind system is slowly opening the slats. After the set point has been reached due to the brightening of electric lights, the blinds stop opening further. Thus a steady state is reached where blinds are partially open and electric lights are illuminating at a level that is not optimal for saving energy. This issue can be mitigated if the sensor can distinguish between daylight and artificial light. This will enable the system to realize that the blinds need to open further because there is some room to harvest more daylight - even though the set point may have been reached due to mixed (daylight + artificial) light.
  • many current systems employ data loggers for estimating energy savings potential for occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting lighting control systems. These loggers log the occupancy and illuminance data to find out when the space was unoccupied and lights were left on. Whether lights are turned on or off is estimated based on sudden changes in illuminance. Because the photo-sensor in such current data logger systems cannot distinguish between daylight and artificial light, a sudden change in daylight (e.g., someone closing or opening the blinds, or a cloud passing by) can be improperly interpreted as artificial lights being switched on or off. This issue can be overcome if the system's sensor(s) can distinguish between daylight and artificial lights.
  • daylight e.g., someone closing or opening the blinds, or a cloud passing by
  • a system in which daylight is detected and quantified using a combination of visual and non-visual sensors.
  • an indoor region (a "lighting zone") is monitored with a thermopile array and at least one photo-sensor.
  • the raw sensor outputs of these devices are filtered, processed and operated on by algorithms in real-time.
  • a process will then perform on-sight estimation of the zone's exposure to daylight (e.g., "yes/no"), level of daylight (e.g., "high/medium/low”), and estimated daylight intensity (e.g., "700 lux").
  • calibration of the sensors is performed after the system is installed.
  • measurements of light level and thermopile array readings at different dimming levels with (say, at mid-day) and without (say, at night) presence of daylight are then developed from these data points that can estimate: a) Whether daylight is present or not given the data from photo-sensor and
  • thermopile array A simple threshold-based approach can be followed.
  • a simple binary decision tree (BDT) classifier shall be developed using the data collected in the step above. When daylight is present, the BDT classifier shall generate one of the labels (high, medium, low), based on recent real-time data, to qualitatively measure the daylight. Some of the cut values or supervised labels required can be developed apriori.
  • a more sophisticated regression model can be developed (either on-site or off-site) to estimate the amount of daylight (in lux) present in the zone of measurement.
  • This model again exploits light dimming level, photo-sensor level, and thermopile readings.
  • Alternative embodiments would learn this on-sight after installation or pre-calculate before installation.
  • PIR Pyroelectric Infrared
  • a PIR sensor detects motion when voltage generated by its pyroelectric sensor crosses a certain threshold.
  • this threshold is a factory setting - meaning they are not learned on-site after installation. Due to lack of adaptive threshold, PIRs are error-prone. This is especially true when the difference between foreground and background temperatures fluctuate (e.g., ceiling and floor in the case of a ceiling mounted sensor). For example, long exposure of a zone to high levels of daylight may increase the background temperature and hence result in erroneous PIR output.
  • Embodiments of the invention can calibrate this factory-set threshold (in volts) dynamically by knowing how much daylight is available in the zone.
  • the current invention can be utilized to provide a dynamic PIR detection threshold (e.g., changing to 1 .5V from 1 .3V, as discussed below) to improve occupancy detection when daylight is present.
  • the proposed system can be stand-alone or embedded in room luminaires.
  • Additional embodiments of the invention enable a number of applications for connected lighting as follows: 1 ) Better real-time control of artificial lights through better estimation of daylight; 2) Better blind control based on improved estimate of heat gain entering the indoor space; 3) Improved PIR occupancy sensor's fidelity by dynamically controlling sensor thresholds depending on infrared radiation due to daylight.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary configuration where the invention's sensing system is deployed in a typical office building.
  • Figure 2 is a flowchart indicating the method employed by an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the configuration of an experimental room in which concepts of the invention's sensing system was tested.
  • Figure 4 is a graph depicting the results from a daylighting experiment using a commercial thermopile array.
  • the main elements of one embodiment of the current invention include: a) A sensing system in which a combination of visual and non-visual (e.g., thermal) sensors are integrated to detect overall light and temperatures of objects in the region being viewed.
  • a combination of visual and non-visual (e.g., thermal) sensors are integrated to detect overall light and temperatures of objects in the region being viewed.
  • KPIs KPIs from the raw sensor measurements.
  • KPIs KPIs to include, but be limited to:
  • this decision algorithm comprises us of:
  • one embodiment of the invention employs dynamic thresholding applied to PIR sensors depending on the information provided by one or more thermopile sensors.
  • the detection threshold for PIR sensors shall be increased slightly (e.g., 1 .5V instead of 1 .3V) to avoid false positives.
  • a sensory system is employed to measure ambient parameters such as light intensity, air temperature, infrared temperature, occupant presence, etc.
  • An on-board micro controller is directly interfaced with the sensors where each sensor is sampled and processed.
  • the list of sensors include, but are not limited to: photodiode, thermopile, thermistor, humidity sensor, etc.
  • the sensor system can be standalone or embedded in a luminaire. Further, the sensor system may be connected to a central controller or cloud where collective processing may be performed.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment where the proposed sensing system is deployed in a typical office building. In this setup, two sensor units 101 , 102 are placed in the ceiling while one 103 is placed along a back wall, facing an exterior window 1 10.
  • the window 1 10 When exposed to Sun, the window 1 10 allows daylight to penetrate into the space and heats up objects (floor, table, air etc.) inside the building.
  • the proposed system can instantaneously and quantitatively detect the presence of daylight (indicated by the area 1 12 appearing between the two dashed lines) in the sensor view regions (indicated by the areas 1 14 and 1 1 6 each appearing between two dotted lines corresponding to photosensor 1 (104) and photosensor 2 (106), respectively).
  • each sensor unit comprises a thermopile array, (107 and 108, respectively).
  • a thermopile is a non-contact sensor that measures absolute temperature using infrared radiation emitted by a heat source.
  • a thermopile array is a 2D arrangement of thermopiles.
  • a typical 8x8 thermopile array sensor divides the viewing area into 8x8 cells and provides 64 absolute temperatures per measurement, one for each cell.
  • a thermopile is fundamentally different from a pyroelectric (PIR) sensor, which only measures a temperature gradient. PIRs are insensitive to stationary occupants while thermopiles can detect non-moving individuals, as the measured absolute temperature (human body temperature) in the viewing region will be higher than that of environment.
  • PIR pyroelectric
  • Fig. 2 is a flowchart depicting the method for detecting the presence of daylight in real-time, according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the sensors are periodically sampled (step 205) and then filtered (step 210) to remove unwanted noise in the signal.
  • the filtered signals are then analyzed to identify if there are any occupants in the space (step 215). For example, when a zone observes both occupant and daylight, the signal source due to any occupants will dominate that of daylight. Such signals can be separated using sophisticated filters. To avoid this bias, the embodiment filters out detected occupants from the measurements. In simple cases, this means just removing the thermopile pixels (or elements) from the measurement that are impacted by occupants (step 220).
  • thermopile sensor view region there are also other standard techniques where differential operations can remove bias due to occupants without incurring significant pixel loss.
  • a number of parameters are then determined such as air temperature (Ta), median object temperature (M1 , M2) from each thermopile array, etc. This information is then used to detect whether daylight is present or not in a thermopile sensor view region.
  • Ta air temperature
  • M1 , M2 median object temperature
  • Mi is the median pixel temperature of thermopile i
  • Ta is the average air temperature computed from sensors placed in different locations.
  • k, c are coefficients that are either hard-coded or learned during training
  • daylight is determined to be present in each area being monitored by a thermopile array.
  • the level of daylight is then estimated using solar heat gain.
  • solar heat gains are typically computed using solar irradiance, a window heat transfer function and a space transfer function.
  • Embodiments of the invention extract this information from the thermopile measurements where calibration is performed prior to installation, and the transfer coefficients are learned on-site. For usage in various control techniques, embodiments of the current invention will thereby characterize daylight (if present) into one of high, medium, and low categories.
  • embodiments of the invention employ a regression model learned either on-site or off-site.
  • the amount of daylight entering the space is then estimated using data obtained from thermopile arrays and photo-sensors.
  • thermopile arrays were placed in an indoor space which has a south facing window 330.
  • the sensors were placed facing each other along the east 315 and west 325 walls of the room.
  • a data measurement was carried out for about 30 minutes where during the first 15 minutes (1 6:00 to 1 6:15) the window was blocked completely preventing daylight entry into the space.
  • the window blocks were removed exposing the room to solar radiation.
  • sensor 2 (320) had direct exposure to solar radiation 340 while sensor 1 (310) was exposed to the wall (325) that received direct irradiance.
  • Fig. 4 show the results from the above experiment as a function of time.
  • the graph shows the median temperatures of each (64 pixel) thermopile array measured every second during the experiment. It can be observed that both sensors show detectable increase/decrease in median temperature in presence/absence of daylight respectively. The intensity of temperature increase depends on the sensor's exposure (orientation, in this case). For example, the median temperature of sensor 2 (item 320), directly exposed to solar irradiation, is increased by about 9 degrees F; while that of sensor 1 (item 310) rose about 4 degrees F.
  • the experimental results illustrated in Fig. 4 provide two examples of the invention's ability to detect sunlight using one or more thermopile arrays.
  • Embodiments of the invention have various applications in HVAC systems.
  • thermostats are set to standard cooling/heating setpoints and are often unchanged.
  • a number of factors determine optimal setpoints in order to achieve improved comfort and increased energy savings in buildings.
  • solar heat gain due to incoming daylight increases air temperature of a thermal zone.
  • this can be used to reduce cooling load by lowering the heating setpoint by a few degrees.
  • this heat gain adversely impacts cooling systems which can be again mitigated by adjusted setpoints for increased comfort or by adjusting blinds for increased energy savings for cooling.
  • Embodiments of the invention will help making such choices of dynamically adjusting thermostat setpoints in real-time as an estimate of daylight entering the space can be determined (and from which determination, solar heat gain can be estimated more accurately).
