Driven by the dual carbon target, the energy-saving renovation of airport flight areas has changed from an "optional" to a "mandatory question". According to industry statistics, the energy consumption of airfield lighting accounts for about 13% to 15% of the total energy consumption of airports, while traditional high pole lights are mostly timed to start and stop, without dimming ability, and still maintain full power operation during reduced late night flights, resulting in significant energy waste.
Passive operation and maintenance to active intelligent control
Shanghai Sansi will upgrade its high pole lights from a single lighting terminal to an IoT sensing node. Through the self-developed high pole lamp intelligent lighting management system, each lamp can be independently addressed and remotely controlled.
The system supports preset dimming strategies based on flight schedules, such as full power output during intensive flight periods and automatic load shedding during intervals; Natural light compensation can be utilized during the early morning and dusk periods to achieve secondary energy conservation. The actual test of a 4E level airport renovation case in East China shows that after replacing the original 1150W high-pressure sodium lamp with a Sansi 320W LED floodlight, the comprehensive energy consumption decreased by more than 70%, and the investment return cycle was significantly shortened.
Visual operation and maintenance, troubleshooting on the screen
Traditional manual inspection has blind spots: ground personnel cannot immediately know the electrical status inside the light panel, and faults often rely on complaints from the crew or routine inspections the next day to discover. The Sansi system presents the real-time current, power, on/off status, and dimming value of each lamp in a visual interface on the central control screen.
Once the current of a single lamp is abnormal or communication is interrupted, the system will immediately pop up an alarm and locate the faulty pole number and lamp position. The operation and maintenance personnel will bring spare parts to the scene, and the maintenance time will be reduced from days to hours, significantly improving the equipment integrity rate and the safety margin of air side operation.
Data closed-loop, continuous optimization
The system is not limited to monitoring and control, but also has the ability to collect and analyze data. Long term operation records can depict the light attenuation curve and energy consumption profile of each high pole lamp, providing decision-making basis for spare parts planning and preventive maintenance. Combined with the Three Think Visualization LED Display System, airports can also link high pole light power data with flight information and weather data, gradually moving towards a smart airport energy brain.
The Sansi Intelligent Lighting System transforms high pole lights from passive power consuming devices into active energy-saving assets, replacing manual labor flow with data flow and extensive operation with precise regulation. It is a typical landing scenario for the digital transformation of flight zones. Energy conservation, carbon reduction, safety and efficiency improvement are no longer contradictory, but a win-win situation can be achieved through intelligent means.
