Title: Improving the Reliability of Solar-Powered LED Illumination Systems
Authors: Akram Abu-aisheh and Sameer Khader and Omar Hasan and Alan Hadad
Abstract: This paper presents a road map for the design and development of sustainable hybrid Light Emitting Diode (LED) illumination systems. The proposed hybrid system design presents the foundation for future sustainable high efficiency illumination systems. Photovoltaic (PV) panels-based systems are used as the primary source of energy in this system while the electric grid is used as the backup source that supplies power to the LEDs only when the power from the PV system is not sufficient to power all the system LEDs and the PV system batteries are depleted below the minimum level set in the system design. This new hybrid design should serve as an important link between the current AC-based illumination systems and the future sustainable DC-based solar illumination systems. Since computer simulation is an important tool for future illumination system design and analysis, it was presented to help designers study different components of this illumination system.
