LED LIGHTING SYSTEMS USING COMPRESSED AIR BASED POWER GENERATION AND A METHOD THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to LED lighting systems and methods. Particularly, present invention relates to LED lighting systems using compressed air based power generation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A lighting control system is an intelligent network based lighting control solution that incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices. Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed. Lighting control systems are employed to maximize the energy savings from the lighting system, satisfy building codes, or comply with green building and energy conservation programs. Lighting control systems are often referred to under the term Smart Lighting.
Any type of lightning systems like filament based bulbs, tube lights or recent inventions like LED lights requires external energy source. The source may be 220v AC or single digit volts DC power source. But definitely needs external grid supply or connected to genset.
Publication No. CN202619875 relates to a dental sight manual instrument which comprises a manual instrument handle and an instrument head,; an LED lamp is arranged on a side wall at the front end of the manual instrument handle; an airflow generator, a compressed air conveying pipeline and a pressure water conveying pipeline are arranged jn the inner
cavity of the manual instrument handle; ports which are correspondingly connected with the compressed air conveying pipeline and the pressure water conveying pipeline are arranged at the tail end of the manual instrument handle; and the LED lamp is electrically connected with the airflow generator.
Publication No. WO2012004738A1 relates to a device for generating electric power from a source of air or other gas or fluid under pressure. The device comprises a turbine having an impeller, and an electric generator having a stator provided with stator windings distributed around a cylindrical surface coaxial to the impeller, and a permanent magnet which is rotatable relative to the stator and is drivingly connected for rotation with the impeller. The impeller is housed inside the permanent magnet and the assembly formed by the impeller and by the permanent magnet is housed inside the stator. The permanent magnet is made as a single hollow cylindrical body of high magnetic density material with diametrical magnetization.
But there is a need for an alternative for such type of power sources which are depleting natural resources, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions. A great research and development is going on in trying out solar or hydral or nuclear and other type of green energies which are yet expensive and not reaching the required alternative standards.
Reference may be made to an article entitled "Piezoelectric Crystals: Future Source of Electricity" by Pramathesh. T. Et al that describes that with the increase in energy consumption due to ever-growing number of electronic devices, the concept of harvesting renewable energy in human surrounding arouses a renewed interest. In this context, we have highlighted use of piezoelectricity and its generation. The other alternative thought is shared at the end. Piezoelectricity is appearance of electric potential across the sides of crystal when subjected to mechanical stress. Thus by making use of human movements and movements of automobiles, piezoelectricity can be generated to a commercially usable extent [International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Technology; Volume 2 Issue 4, pp: 260-262; 1 April 2013].
Reference may be made to another article entitled "Generating electricity using piezoelectric material" that discusses the use of piezoelectric material to generate electricity. This includes the basic theoretical modelling of the electrical power generation
mechanisms and optimization of the piezo-host system. It is shown that with proper configuration, a single piezo-film can generate enough electrical density that can be stored in a rechargeable battery for later usage [Jedol Dayou, Man-Sang, C. , Dalimin, M. N. & Wang, S.; BORNEO SCIENCE 24: MARCH 2009].
Reference may be made to another article entitled "Staircase Power Generation Using Piezo-Electric Transducers" that proposes the prototype of a piezoelectric generator that harvests mechanical vibrations energy available on a Staircase. Embarked piezoelectric transducer, which is an electromechanical converter, undergoes mechanical vibrations therefore produce electricity. A static converter transforms the electrical energy in a suitable form to the targeted lighting application [V. Prasannabalaji, R. Rakesh, S. Sairam and S. Mahesh; Advance in Electronic and Electric Engineering.; Volume 3, Number 6 (2013), pp. 747-754]. Reference may be made to another article entitled "Electrical Power Generation Using Piezoelectric Crystal" presents a theoretical analysis to increase the piezoelectric power generation that is verified with experimental results. This research seeks to systematically overcome the weaknesses associated with cantilever-mounted piezoelectric used for mobile power harvesting to maximize the power from a piezoelectric device the load impedance must match the impedance of device. This is problematic for frequencies between 10-100 Hz because a single piezoelectric may have impedance in the range of several hundred thousand ohms to ten million ohms. Thus, little current can be produced, and battery charging is diminished due to low current production. To reduce the impedance and increase electrical current, two off-the-shelf actuators (8 piezoelectric totals) are connected electrically in parallel and tuned to resonate in the frequency range of an ambient vibration similar to that produced by a person walking [Anil Kumar; International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 2, Issue 5, May-2011].
US publication 20050127677 discloses a process for generating electricity from vehicular traffic by distributing a plurality of piezoelectric elements no higher than an adjacent surface of a roadway; generating electric current as traffic passes over the roadway; and conducting the electric current away from the piezoelectric elements to provide the electrical current for consumption.
US patent no. 7479727 relates to a roof system for a building is adapted to harness pyroelectric and piezoelectric effects to generate, electric power. A roof system is provided wherein roof tiles, or other covering structure, are adapted with piezoelectric materials capable of converting mechanical energy from falling rain into electric energy by compression or deformation of the piezoelectric material, and further adapted with a pyroelectric system that generates electric power from temperature changes
Thus, in order to improve the method for generating electricity through green and clean means, the present invention provides LED lighting systems by applying compressed air on Piezo electric crystal for power generation.
