A new simplified model of compact fluorescent lamps in the scenario of smart grids

Modeling the luminous flux of typical Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) is considered for Light Flicker studies. A simple model of typical CFL with integrated Electronic Ballast of input power up to 25 W is proposed. The model performance is verified for supply voltage distorted by interharmonics. The results of numerical simulations are shown and are compared with experimental measurements.
