Abstract :
A novel high pressure sodium (HPS) lamp model is proposed. The proposed model is particularised for 150 W HPS lamps, providing a powerful tool for simulating the behaviour of such lamps operating with low-frequency electromagnetic ballasts or high-frequency switching electronic ballasts. Simulations and experimental results are provided for verification of the model. The model can be easily extended to other rated wattages and kinds of discharge lamps.
