"Peak of performance, F1 Abu Dhabi"
The 5.5km long FIA certified circuit, features twenty one challenging corners which can be viewed by 41,000 spectators housed in the circuits five grandstands. Yas Marina race circuit has a consumption of 80mW of electrical power supplied by a total of 44 generators.
During the Formula 1 Grand Prix, normally held in November each year, the circuit lighting is used to transition the race from a daytime race starting at 17.00 into a full night race by the time it ends 55 high speed laps and 2 gruelling hours later. Once night falls the race can only be completed if sufficient circuit lighting is provided. Clearly any generator failure leading to a loss of circuit lighting would have disastrous effects for the race, or even the FIA championship and the future use of Yas Marina as a Formula 1 venue. The implications for Driver and spectator safety should a loss of circuit light occur are unthinkable…

Solution
The lighting project uses Sices DST4601/PC controllers for the generators, combining capability with reliable operation. The track lighting is divided into 22 different zones with two generators in operation at each zone. A central monitoring station, provides for remote monitoring of the generators, ensuring any anomalies are highlighted to maintenance teams immediately
