SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING DAYLIGHT HARVESTING IN DISTRIBUTED SITES
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing operation of one or more skylights of one or more distributed sites to facilitate daylight harvesting, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a lighting control system, one or more skylight-linked lighting circuits from a plurality of lighting circuits by analyzing at least one of site configuration data, site instrumentation data, or ambient data;
determining, by the lighting control system, interception points configured for each identified skylight-linked lighting circuit to switch from daylight utilization to electric consumption and to switch from electric consumption to daylight utilization, wherein the interception points are determined based on at least one of the site configuration data, the site instrumentation data, or the ambient data;
deriving, by the lighting control system, an optimum logic for the operation of one or more skylight linked lighting circuits based on the interception points and current operating schedule of the skylight linked lighting circuits; and
optimizing, by the lighting control system, the operation of the one or more skylights based on the optimum logic.

Abstract
A lighting control system for optimizing operation of skylights of distributed sites to facilitate daylight harvesting comprises a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor instructions, which causes the processor to identify skylight-linked lighting circuits from a plurality of lighting circuits by analyzing site configuration data, site instrumentation data, and ambient data, and determine interception points configured for each identified skylight-linked lighting circuit to switch from daylight utilization to electric consumption and to switch from electric consumption to daylight utilization. The processor is further caused to derive an optimum logic for the operation of skylight linked lighting circuits based on the interception points and current operating schedule of the skylight linked lighting circuits and optimize the operation of the skylights based on the optimum logic.
