Project of The Building Intelligent Lighting System of The Arctic Zone University in The Digital Economy

Abstract

Today in Russia, the main trends in the development of the energy sector are digitalization, decarbonization, and energy saving. Lighting is one of the priority areas for energy saving and energy efficiency, so the development of an intelligent lighting system at a university facility has been identified as a pilot digitalization project under the university's Smart Campus program. The main idea of ​​the project for the introduction of a "smart" lighting system is to reduce energy consumption by replacing fluorescent lighting with LEDs and the introduction of intelligent lighting control. As part of the work performed, an audit of the existing lighting system was carried out, a lighting calculation was made, a new executive lighting plan for selected objects was developed, a model of an intelligent lighting system was presented, its components were determined, and equipment was calculated for the smart lighting project. The authors analyzed the regional opportunities for using renewable energy sources in the Arctic zone in order to use them for the implementation of the project of an intelligent lighting system. Wind energy has been identified as a priority source. An additional effect of the project implementation will be: obtaining the first results of energy saving; obtaining new scientific data on the use of wind energy in the Arkhangelsk region, developing the foundations of a single platform for collecting and processing university information data; subsequent implementation at other university facilities.
