Abstract
This paper presents the development and validation of a high-performance solarpowered charging streetlight. Our controller incorporates various charging modes, including MPPT charging, constant current charging, and constant voltage charging, and the controller can automatically change the charging mode based on the battery level. The streetlight can achieve brightness adjustment through PWM adjustment. The controller turns off the streetlights once the battery voltage reaches the over-discharge protection voltage. However, turning off the streetlights inevitably results in a voltage rebound above the over-discharge protection voltage. Consequently, the streetlights enter a cycling pattern of illumination and extinguishment. We have addressed this issue by incorporating a voltage rise threshold in the controller program, effectively preventing the streetlights from cycling between illumination and extinguishment. The MCU (Micro Controller Unit) can output multiple sets of PWM waves, where each set can control the on/off state of an LED light group. Combining multiple LED groups enables the driving and control of high-power LED street lights. We designed and constructed two solar-powered LED lighting systems to demonstrate the practicality of our approach. Extensive long-term outdoor field tests validate the robust performance of our control system.
