DOE Publishes Report on the Energy Reporting Capability of PoE Connected Lighting Systems
ities and LED luminaire power requirements.
It then classifies PoE system devices in relationship to how they're used in systems -- introducing clarifying terminology as needed -- and briefly describes different PoE system architectures implemented by various lighting manufacturers.
A discussion of existing standards and specifications that address energy reporting is provided, and existing test setups and methods germane to characterizing PoE system energy reporting performance are reviewed.
Connected lighting systems that can report their own energy consumption can deliver increased energy savings over conventional lighting solutions by facilitating data-driven energy management.
PoE technology -- in which a single Ethernet cable is used to both provide low-voltage DC power and enable network communication -- has the potential to bring this capability to mainstream lighting applications, and has become increasingly viable for LED lighting.
