Advance Street Lighting System for Smart City
Abstract
Recently, in the whole world, enormous electric energy is consumed by the street lights. These lights are automatically turn on when it becomes dark and automatically turn off when it becomes bright. This is the huge waste of energy in the whole world and should be controlled. Street lights in India consume approximately 20-40% of the electrical energy produced in the entirenation and the demand for electricity in recent years has increased day by day. In this paper, smart street light is introduced which is IoT based, it aims to automate the light system, also, LEDs are used to assures the low power consumption. The operation of this system is to maintain the intensity of streetlights to 40% of the maximum intensity if no vehicles passing through the road. Electricity theft problem is also address in this paper uses a sudden signal of power drop or phase drop to detect the exact pole at which electricity theft is happening or if that particular street light is faulty. Moreover, all these data are shared through IoT about and can be controlled and monitored by a mobile application.
