B. Venkatesh Reddy, D.Giri Babu

Abstract: This paper proposes Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based approach for light intensity control in a Photo Voltaic (PV) supply fed LED lighting system. The output power regulation of LED lighting system is formulated as an optimization problem and the output power regulation is carried out using a real time PSO technique. The concept is first simulated and verified and subsequently implemented on a 16-bit PIC microcontroller. The proposed method possesses the major advantage of system independence while regulating the output power. The computed and measured results clearly illustrate the effectiveness of the new method.
