Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This work presents an LED electrothermal design methodology applied to a street lighting system. The methodology aims to provide indicatives of the optimal LED operating point for lighting systems design, considering electrical, thermal and photometric system features. Different projects are developed according to the methodology, the theoretical results are compared with fluid dynamics simulation and demonstrated by experimental results. A research including luminous flux, luminous efficacy and flicker is performed considering the LED current ripple, defining acceptable levels of ripple based on the optimal operational point. The methodology is applied by developing a lighting system composed of an LED driver and a thermal dissipation system, comprising a luminaire, a heatsink and fans. The lighting system includes electrothermal feedback control. The results provide high power factor with low current harmonic distortion to the power grid. The LED operational temperature ensures the luminous flux maintenance over the system lifetime. / Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia de projeto eletrotérmico de LEDs aplicada a um sistema de iluminação pública. A metodologia tem o objetivo de proporcionar indicativos do melhor ponto de operação do LED para o projeto de sistemas de iluminação, considerando os aspectos elétricos, térmicos e fotométricos envolvidos no sistema. Diferentes projetos são desenvolvidos utilizando a metodologia, os resultados teóricos obtidos são comparados com simulações computacionais de dinâmica dos fluidos e comprovados através de resultados experimentais. Um estudo do fluxo, eficácia e cintilação luminosa é também realizado considerando a ondulação de corrente aplicada aos LEDs, definindo os níveis aceitáveis de ondulação com base no ponto ótimo de operação. Para aplicação da metodologia é desenvolvido um sistema de iluminação pública composto por um circuito de acionamento dos LEDs e um sistema de dissipação térmica, formado por uma luminária, um dissipador de calor e ventiladores. O sistema de iluminação possui controle com realimentação eletrotérmica. Os resultados obtidos proporcionam alto fator de potência com baixa distorção harmônica ao sistema elétrico e temperatura de operação que garante a manutenção do fluxo luminoso dos LEDs durante toda a vida útil do sistema.

Progress in development of modern LEDs, their long lifetime and high luminous efficacy predetermine them for usage in lighting systems. This master's thesis examines possibilities of application of LEDs in luminaires, parameters of diodes and problems, which can appear in construction of luminaire with LED lighting source. In the practical part of this thesis a luminaire is designed, capable of illuminating traffic signs, vertical surfaces, billboards and fasades. By standards required parameters of a lighting system and adaptability of application must be considered in complex predesign. Simulations of lighting scene, created in special computer software, measurements of optical point’s parameters and construction of real luminaire model using high quality CREE LEDs, are included in analysis of the problem. Parameters of the luminaire were proved by measurements of product’s attributes at light laboratory. There are also some suggestions for improvement and further development of the product.

This presented thesis is focused on the complex description of creation the database system for the lighting. The important static and dynamic parameters of light sources and luminaires are listed in the first part of thesis. These parameters are complemented by the measured values and their relationships. The next chapters of thesis are focused to description of obtained parameters, structural design, historical and expected development of individual representatives of light sources. In the following sections are described current state of used data formats of luminaires and the possibilities for describing of light sources. The database systems are created as a result of this thesis. These databases are used for collecting, sorting, searching and sophisticate comparison of the parameters of light sources and luminaires.

Denna studie undersöker möjligheten att ta fram en mer hållbar och cirkulär armatur i ett samarbete med ateljé Lyktan i Åhus, där utgångspunkten är deras armatur RIFF pendel. Studien utgår huvudsakligen utifrån ett materialperspektiv där en översyn av delar inom armaturen ses över för att skapa en cirkularitet kring produkten. Teorin har sin utgångspunkt inom design för hållbar utveckling där förhållandet till cirkulär ekonomi ligger i fokus, detta för att utforska med ett materialdrivet designperspektiv utgå från själva materialet med krav som en huvudkaraktär i utformandet. För att uppnå ett resultat och slutsats utförs en förstudie som research metod och en designspecifikation skapas för att sammanställa allt som armaturen ska klara av att lösa och bidra med. Researchen följs upp av en designprocess för att undersöka och konkretisera de designmål och kriterier som produkten behöver uppnå. Studien ger förslag till ateljé Lyktan i form av en skärm och och uppgradering av befintliga ljusmotorn för RIFF armatur med ett cirkulärt material från en förnybar resurs. / This study examines the possibility of developing a more sustainable and circular luminaire in collaboration with ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, based on their RIFF pendant luminaire. The study primarily focuses on a material perspective, reviewing parts within the luminaire to create circularity around the product.  The theory is based on design for sustainable development where the relationship to the circular economy is in focus, this to explore with a material driven design perspective starting from the material itself with requirements as a main character in the design. To achieve a result and conclusion, a preliminary study is conducted as a research method, and a design specification is created to compile all the aspects that the luminaire needs to solve and contribute to. The research is followed by a design process to investigate and concretize the design goals and criteria that the product needs to achieve. The result of this study provides suggestions to ateljé Lyktan in the form of a shade and an upgrade of the existing light engine for the RIFF luminaire with a circular material from a renewable resource.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis presents the study and characterization of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the proposal of obtaining an equivalent model that is useful in the OLED driver design and in lighting systems projects. Initially, a literature review covering the operating principle and the constructive aspects of OLEDs is presented. From this, a model that integrates scale, photometrical, electrical and thermal aspects is proposed. This model is static and dynamic and is called EFET. A procedure for parameter identification of the model is proposed, jointly with an analysis of the intrinsic capacitance effect on the OLED electrical, thermal and photometrical performance. The proposed model is able to predict and simulate the OLED based lighting systems before building, saving time and cost. The model is validated using different OLED samples and conclusions are derived from the experimental validation and simulation results. An approach considering the dimming methods of OLEDs is presented, showing the chromatic impact caused by each method. Finally, an OLED driver based on the concept of switched capacitor converters is proposed. The thesis results are satisfactory and provide an enhancement to the state of the art in modeling and OLED driving. / A presente tese de doutorado apresenta o estudo e a caracterização de diodos orgânicos emissores de luz (OLEDs) com a proposta de um modelo equivalente que é útil no desenvolvimento de circuitos de acionamento e na análise de OLEDs, quando aplicados em sistemas de iluminação.
