The work is devoted to the development of an intelligent lighting control system for adjacent territories.Every day more and more popular is the use of led lamps, they are more economical from outdated gas-discharge lamps or incandescent lamps, which are now commonly used. For comparison, a 40W incandescent lamp has a luminous flux of 400 lumens, the same luminous flux has a 5W led lamp. There are many outdoor lighting network management systems that have a wide range of management capabilities. The most common ones are LonWorks, DMX-512, DALI, DCI. They usually use motion sensors, light sensors, time relays, and other automation elements, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. These advantages and disadvantages have been analyzed in terms of application in the system being developed. The main requirements for the system were economic and ease of use. Taking into account these requirements, the existing methods of street lighting management and systems based on them were considered.A block diagram of the lighting control system for the adjacent territories of the enterprise was developed, which is shown in figure Fig. 1. The system is a network whose nodes are connected by a simple digital data bus DB. The digital data bus can be wired, wireless, or optical. Each network node consists of: an MSi motion sensor, an LLi led lamp, a microcontroller with a built-in MCi real-time clock, a light-sensitive LSI sensor, and IUI interface blocks. The light-sensitive sensor can be installed in one place, provided that the level of natural light in the coverage area of each local lighting system is approximately the same. When the level of external natural light decreases below a certain critical level, the light-sensitive sensor sends a signal to the microcontroller to turn on the local lighting system, after which each local zone is illuminated with individual specified parameters of the glow power. When the motion sensor is activated in the local area of the lighting system, the lamp switches to high power mode. Thanks to a real-time microcontroller, the moment when an object appears in this zone is recorded. As the object moves, it enters the coverage area of another local lighting system where the network uses a built-in real-time clock to record the moment when the object appears in another zone, this information is transmitted via a digital bus to the system, from which we can determine the direction of movement of the object.Based on the developed block diagram and based on the requirements for the system being developed, a microcontroller from the STM family was selected. This family of microcontrollers, due to their performance, architecture and low power consumption, is best suited for working with the hardware of the system being developed.

Context. The relevance of the simulation of p-persistent CSMA algorithm of unequal random multiple access is caused by importanceof accounting personal node priorities for execution of adequate assessment of probable and time response characteristics of information transfer in designing widespread fieldbus-networks LonWorks, BacNet, etc. The aim of this work is to obtain analytical expressions for estimating probabilities of successful and failed node access to the channel, the transmission time information in the network with equal and unequal rivalry of nodes based on p-persistent and predictive p-persistent CSMA algorithms of random multiple access.Method. The method of probability theory has been used there to solve problems. The analysis of equal and unequal multiple access ppersistent CSMA nodes in the saturation mode of the channel by the transmission with a constant number of node-rivals has been executed. A method of estimating the time of successful transmission of information by the node through an average number of cycles of rivalry and probabilistic characteristics of the access nodes has been proposed. Expressions to estimate the necessary probabilistic and time characteristics were obtained: the average length of transmission and time of information transmission by the node, the effective bandwidth. The proposed method mainly differs from analogs by the possibility of characteristics estimation of information transmission given the manifold priorities of the network nodes, which improves the accuracy of the performed calculations.Results. The analytical expressions have been received, quantification and analysis of probabilistic and temporal characteristics ofinformation transfer in a network with equal and unequal random multiple p-persistent CSMA access has been performed.Conclusions. The simulation results of equal and unequal rivalry network channel illustrate the importance of taking into accountindividual priorities of the nodes in the network. The feasibility of using access priorities is the need to transfer important information onthe background of universal low-priority data. The significance of the results is to perform an adequate quantitative assessment of thecharacteristics of information transmission in a channel with equal and unequal parties.

This paper presents the design and development of a simple wireless bus for domotics (WBD). The architecture of the bus is based on a classical master/multi-slave configuration, where the beginning of any task in the network is initiated by the master unit. The proposed domotic bus shows a reliable performance thanks to the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithm configured in a modified Modbus frame. The commands’ speed response of the proposed bus is increased in comparison with other domotic standards, such as X10, ZigBee, and LonWorks, which offers an affordable, yet reliable self-configurable network solution for home automation solutions (HAS).

The street illumination is very important in modern city as the part of city's infrastructure. However it is very difficult to reduce the energy consumption, increase the lighting rate and reduce the maintenance cost by the existing street lighting in old design. This paper presents the Smart Illumination Control System (SICS) to remote control and smart monitor the street illumination with M2M communication technology. SICS is structured as illumination application layer, controlling layer and data center. SICS uses the interface boards to send and receive command from controlling layer by Narrow Band Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication. The wireless communication is set up to report the status of the controlling layer to the data center. The street lamps can be switched according to the logic connection in the LonWorks network in computer. The performance evaluation of SICS indicates the system reliability is validated by Statistical Process Control (SPC), the 65% energy consumption is reduced, the lighting rate is improved 10.9%, and the 75% on site working hours is reduced. In comparison to the previous publications, this design achieves effective and real-time network with superiority of the energy efficiency.

Managing peak demand efficiently is vital for maintaining uninterrupted supply of electrical power by utility providers. In this work, a pilot system was developed for managing and controlling the demand of major power consuming equipment in buildings from a central server, while relying mostly on existing infrastructure and maintaining consumer comfort. The system was successfully demonstrated on a selected group of buildings using the LonWorks networking platform. At the building level, the system utilized power line and twisted pair communication to control the thermostats of air-conditioning (A/C) units. The higher level communication was executed through extensible markup language (XML) and simple object access protocol (SOAP). The system provided control capabilities based on A/C unit priority, thermostat temperature, building type and geographic location. The development and execution of demand management strategies for selected buildings led to peak load reductions up to 74%, in addition to energy savings up to 25%. Implementing such a system at a national level in Kuwait is estimated to reduce peak demand by 3.44 GW, amounting to capital savings of $4.13 billion. The use of existing infrastructure reduced the cost and installation time of the system. Based on the successful testing of this pilot system, a larger-scale system is being developed.
