Project Overview

Novel LED lighting solutions will be explored in order to meet the growing energy needs and costs on RIT's campus. This project addresses an area of great opportunity for product development by taking steps to modernize and optimize the lighting industry.

This project will focus on an intelligent power conditioner for LED lighting applications, incorporating an intelligent power storage option. Power will be pulled from the supply for storage at the times when it is cheaper (according to local energy pricing policies), available (as with alternative energy sources), or desirable (as in demand response applications). A cartoon of the baseline concept is shown below:

The product incorporates 4 major sub-systems:

  1. Modular/Scalable Enclosure
  2. Power Conditioning & Conversion
  3. Power Storage
  4. Intelligence
