Project - LED Lighting in residential and commercial lighting applications
Aim: Design of driver circuit for LED's used in domestic and commercial lighting.
Objectives:
1. Understand the operation of LED's and the technical aspects of LED's used in domestic and commercial lighting applications.
2. Explain about the various constraining aspects that are of importance in relation to operation of LED's used in above applications
3. Discuss the power requirements and operational aspects of LED's for a cost effective, fit for purpose, energy efficient and sustainable design.
4. Design a simple driver circuit to operate LED's used typically in ambient lighting applications in the domestic sector and build a prototype of the circuit.
5. Illustrate and discuss about the importance of operating temperature of the LED's and the attached circuitry. Suggest and analyse the measures that can be taken to alleviate thermal issues.
6. Draw conclusions and produce a report.
Challenge:
The use of lighting modelling software and hardware. Building a prototype that can address the issues of a malfunctioning or a broken LED(s) and provide a regulated.
Progression, Interim and Final Project Reports - Points regarding Font, Page format, Page Margins.
You are required to produce two formal reports (the Interim and Final Reports) in the styles prescribed below. You must follow these styles. One aim of doing this is to give you practice for producing reports in a prescribed "company style" which you will be required to do in a future job as an engineer.
1. The reports must be typed, with a bound-side margin at most 2.54cm wide.
2. Use single or one-and-a-half spacing between lines). Do not use double-spacing.
3. The font size should not be smaller than Times New Roman 12 or equivalent.
4. Number the pages 32 - 35 without referencing
5. You must write on single sided pages.
6. All documents must be A4 in size, including computer listings. Documents larger or smaller than this will not be accepted.
7. A high standard of English is REQUIRED-check and recheck your spelling and grammar. Try and get someone else to read your report too if appropriate.
8. Writing style - do not use first person singular. Your report must be written in the impersonal passive voice. For example:
9. Instead of writing: ‘I designed a circuit to .....'
Use: ‘A circuit was designed to ....'
10. The final report should have one copy that uses hard binding (to supervisor) and the second copy to Dr. Sandra Dudley-McEvoy can be securely spiral bound.
11. It is not appropriate to put acknowledgments into your submitted reports. Reports are only read by academic staff and are not placed into the public domain. If you produce copies for your sponsor or employer you can include an acknowledgement of them in that copy.
12. Print your initials, surname, course and the academic year on the spine.
13. You must use the standard covers available in the School Office for both the interim and final reports [specimens shown in Appendix 3]; fill in all the details indicated.
14. PLAGIARISM and Referencing: Your report will be electronically checked for plagiarism. Materials used from other sources must be properly cited. Please see help on references in section C1.1
15. The Harvard or Numeric referencing systems are acceptable methods of referencing .
16. References are those works that you have cited in the report. For each reference, give the complete details using a consistent format.
17. Project Planning (Required with Progression, Interim and Final Project Reports)
18. See Section A5 for a full description. Ensure that Planning is clearly shown in your Interim and Final report.
