Dublin Airport - Terminal 1

The D.A.A. (Dublin Airport Authority) is responsible for the operations in and around Dublin and Cork Airports. Dublin Airport handles upwards of 16 million passengers each year.

CASE OVERVIEW

Terminal 1 is 44 years old and has welcomed over 400 million passengers during that time. The building has endured much wear and tear €10 million was invested to transform the Arrivals Hall and façade of Terminal 1.

The renovations included new flooring, a replacement ceiling, lighting, including an upgrade to the emergency lighting and the removal of desks currently situated in some window areas to allow natural light in and a new look to the front of Terminal 1.

When completed, the Arrivals Hall will be brighter, more spacious and modern. All restaurants will be located in one area while services such as the Tourist Information Office, Bus, Travel and the Information Desk will be grouped together making the floor layout more user friendly and intuitive for customers.

The goal is to create a greatly enhanced passenger experience for all our customers travelling through Terminal 1.

SOLUTION

The brief was to supply a reliable DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) controlled emergency lighting system to Terminal 1. The whole system was to be controlled from a user-operated PC. All parts of the emergency lighting system were to communicate their status to the PC. Terminal 1 maintenance staff were to use the reports generated from the PC to carry out targeted maintenance.

This was achieved with the use of 6 pairs of identical sine-wave static inverter systems. Each pair of systems would supply a dedicated area in the terminal building. The sine-wave inverters all operate in a passive off-line mode, reducing the wear on inverter components. The lighting load is supplied via an internal bypass, from the airport mains supply. When the supply fails, the inverter will supply the load.

Each system is a single phase-in/single phase-out system and is capable of tripping a distribution fault up to 6A.

The lighting control system will monitor the status of each static inverter and indicate any faults on the user head end PC.

The emergency lights are all operating at 100% output, reducing the number of lights to illuminate a given space. All emergency lights are controlled by a DALI based lighting control system. Every ballast connected to the DALI control system will transmit status to the user head end PC (once it is correctly commissioned).

SUMMARY

100% light output from designated emergency luminaires.
N-Light panels were used to support automatic testing and reporting.
Designed to be simple to use and intuitive with live system status diagnostics for instant information.
Support facilities teams and provide the ability to check the system remotely and identify faults seemlesly.
SmartCharge technology within the emergency products provides energy efficient charging maintenance, reduced operating temperatures and optimum service life of NiMH batteries.
