    摘要: A system may communicate between a display device and a lighting system using light generated by the display device and a light sensor in the lighting system. A computing device and a building control system may communication over a wireless link. The building control system may determine that the computing device is co-located with a fixture in the building control system based on whether communication over the wireless link between the computing device and the building control system is detected.

    摘要: A system for auto-commissioning a light fixture may position the light fixture based on sensor data received from at least one sensor. In order to focus the light fixture on a target location, the system may vary the position of the light fixture and determine a position of the light fixture where the light level received by the photosensor reaches a determined light level. The system may adjust a light characteristic of light emitted by the light fixture so that the color of light received by the photosensor at the target location matches a target light characteristic, such as color or intensity. The system may determine a focus position and a light characteristic for multiple target locations. The system may auto-commission multiple light fixtures.

    摘要: A system for determining operating points of a photovoltaic array may power a load with the photovoltaic array and an alternate power source concurrently. One or more operating points of the photovoltaic array may be detected by adjusting the amount of power that the alternate power source supplies to the load while continuing to power the load with the alternate power source and the photovoltaic array. The operating points may be stored in a calibration table. Alternatively or in addition, the operating points may be detected by altering the amount of power that a battery charger receives from a photovoltaic array while the photovoltaic array powers the battery charger and the load concurrently.

    摘要: A system to control power generated by a photovoltaic array is provided that may include multiple distributed power point control (DPPC) units and a distributed power point control (DPPC) controller. The DPPC units may receive power from a photovoltaic array and supply a portion of that power to a corresponding one of multiple loads. The DPPC controller may generate a control signal for each respective one of the DPPC units such that the photovoltaic array generates a target power when the DPPC units power the loads. In addition, the DPPC controller may adjust the loads and the control signal so that the photovoltaic array generates the target power.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a system may be provided that includes a circuit that is electrically coupled to a line. The circuit generates a direct current signal on the line, where the direct current signal has a period that includes a charge cycle and a discharge cycle. The circuit charges the line in the charge cycle and ceases to charge the line in the discharge cycle in order to generate the direct current signal. The line fails to fully discharge for at least a portion of the discharge cycle. To receive data from the line, the circuit detects a variation in a discharging of the line in the discharge cycle.

    摘要: A system and method for commissioning a lighting system is provided in which signals from light sensors are filtered in order to determine whether light is received from light fixtures in the lighting system or from external light sources. Alternatively or in addition, signals from light sensors may be filtered to determine the amount of light from external light sources. By filtering the signals from the light sensors, an identification of which light fixtures are colocated with which light sensors may be made even in the presence of light received from external light sources or light from multiple light fixtures in the lighting system. Physical locations of light fixtures and/or sensors may be determined based on detecting the amount of light received from external light sources.
