SENSORLESS ILLUMINATION CONTROL OF A NETWORKED LEDLIGHTING SYSTEM USING FEEDFORWARD NEURAL NETWORK

ABSTRACT
Embedded system has hardware and software which forms a component of some
larger system and which is expected to function without human intervention. A typical embedded
system consists of a single-board microcomputer with software in ROM, which starts running
some special purpose application program as soon as it is turned on and will not stop until it is
turned off (if ever). An embedded system may include some kind of operating system but often it
will be simple enough to be written as a single program. It will not usually have any of the
normal peripherals such as a keyboard, monitor, serial connections, mass storage, etc. or any
kind of user interface software unless these are required by the overall system of which it is a
part. Often it must provide real-time response.
In order to resolve the problem of energy hunger nowadays, saving lighting energy
in buildings contributes an important part. In this paper, a sensor less illumination control
scheme for smart networked LED lighting has been investigated. The scheme is based on a Feed
forward neural network to model all the nonlinear and linear relationships inside the lighting
system as the controlled plant. Because the scheme does not rely on lighting simulation software,
it is flexible to be implemented on microcontrollers.
The scheme, moreover, can provide not only high accuracy in modeling but also
global optimum in energy saving. Without using light sensors in its control loop, the approach
can save significant cost and provide ease of installation as well. In addition, it also has the
strength of fast response owing to Feed forward control based on neural networks. The
experimental results show that the approach can easily attain more than 95% modeling accuracy
and also improve more than 28% energy saving with its optimal nonlinear multiple-input
multiple-output control.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this project, we are going to implement sensor less illumination control of
networked LED lighting system using Feed forward neural network. With help of PC, we can
control the LED lights automatically and manually. In Auto mode, LDR will sense the intensity
of light and according to that LED will glow, same for another node. And all these process can be
monitored in PC. In manual mode, we can controlled the LED lights from PC. Auto and manual
process done from PC through ZIGBEE.
