DALI drivers and intelligent lighting control provide light-on-
demand
Tridonic supplied the LED drivers that provide the basis for light-
on-demand in the new terminal building. Lighting is an essential
element at the airport. It has to fulfil different tasks and be used
for different situations. The DALI drivers enable these different
requirements to be met – always in line with the needs and comfort
of passengers. Relaxation areas, for example, have low illuminance
levels, whereas reading areas are brightly lit for optimum visibility,
and the restaurant area is sufficiently bright to create the right
atmosphere.
Daxing is the first new airport project in China in which DALI
drivers and a light management system are integrated in the
KNX building control system. Tridonic has supplied the starfish
airport with DALI LED drivers, intelligent lighting control and an
on-demand lighting solution. More than 2,000 LCA one4all drivers
in the premium series are used in the spacious interior of the
new terminal building. The drivers are compact and dimmable.
They are therefore ideal for discreet indirect lighting. Tridonic has
also supplied around 3,000 drivers for illuminating the parking
spaces. The drivers in the premium and premium SELV series are
characterised by their efficient dimming behaviour and optimum
functionality. They therefore meet the requirements for daylight
connectivity over large areas.
“We are delighted to be involved in this globally significant
mobility project. Thanks to our broad portfolio and the expertise
of our team, we were able to quickly find appropriate solutions
and meet the requirements of the airport authority,” said Christoph
Zimmermann, SVP Global Sales & Communication at Tridonic.
“With our solutions we are helping to make Beijing Daxing airport
a pleasant place for millions of passengers.”
Beijing Daxing International Airport – a mega project
In terms of the area it covers, the new Beijing airport is the world’s
largest airport. It was constructed in only four years. It was officially
opened on September 30 to coincide with 70th anniversary of
the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Covering a total
of 1.4 million square metres, it is expected to handle 100 million
passengers a year. Approximately 300 take-offs and landings are
scheduled to take place each day. Designed by architect Zaha
Hadid, the unique futuristic building resembles a starfish from the
air.

Daylight detection, simple maintenance and energy efficiency
The results of the mega project speak for themselves. Thanks to
Tridonic, the airport has large-scale interior lighting with daylight
tracking. The luminaires can be remote controlled in real time and
as accurately as if they were being controlled from the immediate
vicinity. For control purposes the luminaires are combined
intelligently into small groups and can be adjusted independently
and in any way within these groups. Maintenance is very simple. The
drivers automatically provide information on their operating status
and that of the luminaires – again in real time. There is therefore no
need for permanent monitoring, and action is only required when
necessary. Thanks to predictive maintenance, technicians receive
information about impending failures or defective components at
an early stage and can react in good time. This makes their job and
the job of facility managers much easier and also has cost benefits.
The low standby power consumption of only 0.2 W makes the
drivers energy efficient.
ENORMOUS CAPACITY, UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE, RAPID CONSTRUCTION AND SPECIAL,
CUSTOMIZABLE LIGHTING ARE THE HALLMARKS OF THE BUILDING.
