DIN, I.; KIM, J.  and  KIM, H.. Joint Power and Beam Angle Control for Energy Efficiency in Lighting Control Systems. J. appl. res. technol [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.3, pp.402-407. ISSN 2448-6736.

This paper considers an energy-efficient utilization in lighting control systems (LCS). A joint power and beam angle control in LCS is proposed that reduces energy consumption while satisfying the user’s lighting requirements. A problem to find the optimal pair of power and the beam angle of luminaries is formulated and an algorithm to find the optimal solution is suggested. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves considerable improvement in energy savings compared to conventional lighting energy saving scheme which does not consider the beam angle control.
