LIGHTING CALCULATIONS OF LIGHTING NETWORKS POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS USING MODELING IN DIALUX EVO

Abstract

The article presents the results of the introduction of modern information technologies of modeling for the performance of lighting calculations in the development of the power supply system of an industrial enterprise in the educational process in the training of specialists of the first (bachelor’s) level of education in the specialty G3. Electrical Engineering (141. Electric Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Electromechanics). With the use of modeling in DIALux Evo when performing lighting calculations, an optimal network of general lighting of the workshop of an industrial enterprise has been developed, which meets the current requirements and current industry standards. On the example of the general lighting network of the welding shop of a heavy engineering plant, it is shown that the specialized software package DIALux Evo allows you to work with a variety of light sources, simulate their interaction with the environment and obtain accurate lighting calculations that help optimize the general lighting network of the workshop and the power supply system of an industrial enterprise, respectively. According to the results of the lighting calculation of the lighting network of the welding shop using the specific power method, the design power of the lighting network based on LED lamps was 4.3 kW; according to the results of the lighting calculation based on the simulation carried out in DIALux Evo, the design power of the lighting network based on LED lamps was 5.6 kW. Accordingly, it is shown that the development of lighting in Dialux EVO provides an important clarification in the calculations and is an effective method. It is noted that the introduction of modern modeling technologies into the educational process during the course work on the educational component “Power Supply” improves the professional skills of students in the specialty G3. Electrical Engineering (141. Electric Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Electromechanics) and increases competitiveness in the labor market.
