An ANN strategy for luminance control of LED in response to power system frequency

Controllable load can actively participate in power balance control, which will have positive impact on power system operation. Lighting load takes a significant proportion in the electricity demand. Many features of Light emitting diodes (LEDs), small size, high luminous efficiency and long lifetime, make them very attractive for use in lighting. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) control strategy is designed for LED luminance control in response to power system frequency. The pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming method is used to realize luminance control of LED. In order to regulate the LED power demand in response to frequency measurement signal, the ANN control strategy adjusts the ratio between the on-time and off-time of the PWM dimming signal of LED. Simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed the ANN control strategy.
