Lighting Circuits Characterization and Modeling

This book describes transient, preheat and steady state modeling of lighting circuits. It examines the interaction of lighting circuits with power systems and covers lighting technologies such as incandescent, discharge lamps and light emitting diodes.

Lighting Circuits Characterization and Modeling shows a complete background of lighting circuits (electrical lamps and associated electrical devices) as well as luminaries modeling and validation on real lighting power systems. This book contains the theoretical background related to lighting circuits (electrical lamps, power systems and associated switching devices) as well as looks at energy efficiency of lighting circuits. The authors discuss lighting theory, trends in power systems and lamps impact and interaction with the power system.
