Objective
The project aims at developing an autonomous external lighting system for sites distant from a distribution network of electricity. This system will compri se: - a photovoltaic generator, - a gas-discharge lamp with high flow, - a l ow cost and highly reliable electronic system allowing rational management of t he electric power in order to minimize the energy consumption according to the need for illumination. The innovative aspect mainly lies in the design of th e component allowing the power variation, and in its command/control unit. I n Europe, such a system will be profitable on sites distant of more than one ki lometer of a network and profiting from a sufficient sunning, which is the case of several hundreds of listed sites. In the developing countries, in particula r in the Maghreb, the market is considerable. Six companies of four countrie s joined to conclude this project: two manufacturers of luminaries, two compani es of the sector of electronics, a photovoltaic engineering company, and a cell ular telecommunication company. The research centers have competences in power electronics, in solar energy systems, in lighting and in measurements. The p roject aims to test in two years eight realistic technological solutions, in Fr ance and Greece, and to evaluate their performances before introducing the most interesting products on the market, in four years.
