One model is that a building gets a quota of electric power that it is allowed to use. If the building uses more power than its quota, then a significantly higher price for electricity is charged. This way, electric energy providers can plan their power generation in a cost effective manner. A building is assigned a power usage quota. This building has two types of rooms, rooms that have a high priority and rooms that have low priority. The high priority rooms are allowed to use the power according to whatever demand there is at a time, while the low priority rooms are obliged to use the power that is leftover from the quota after the consumption of high priority rooms has been subtracted. The system in this building takes power consumption in the high priority rooms and adjusts the lighting in the low priority rooms such that the quota assigned to the building is maintained. Use Case Scenario Semantic Interoperability
Gateway-KP (GWKP) is capable for updating light information to the SIB and is subscribed for the power consumption data from high priority room.
After getting power consumed value from the high priority room it regulates the light output of LED luminaries in the low priority room using no more than the remaining power quota.
The GWKP also keeps illumination in the room according to the user preference and activity as much as possible.
In case, the power provided to the low priority room is not sufficient to give desired illumination then the lights adjust such that the quota for the building is maintained.
GWKP also updates light information on the SIB.
Conclusions Objective The major goal of this system is to demonstrate interoperability between two sub systems namely OSAS (TU/e-SAN) and NXP lighting system which are based on different architectures using SOFIA Smart M3 approach. System Architecture We developed a power-managed smart LED lighting system composed of various types of embedded devices with different computing and communication platforms, forming a heterogeneous network. The power management information is exchanged between different networks and devices using an ontology-based semantic interoperability architecture, namely Smart-M3. The proposed priority mechanism ensures accurate maintenance of the overall power consumption levels, always keeping it under a given power quota for the building. This behavior is regardless of changing external lighting conditions as the smart lighting system introduced is capable of adjusting light output levels from individual luminaries as well as their power consumption in both LoPR and HiPR.

Lighting system that adapts to user activity and changes light level
All lamps individually send their power consumption value to the SIB and periodically update.
In case, the change in light output is required then the lamps can be adjusted automatically according to the desired illumination.
The sensors and switches are used to maintain the light level in a room according to the preference of a user.
As it is a high priority room, the lighting system uses as much power as needed.
