Smart Solar-Powered Lighting System for Smart Cities
Highlights
As of 2017, globally 70% of all electricity was generated by burning fossil fuels [1], a source of air pollution and greenhouse gases
According to the statistics discussed above, most of the lights in cities around the world are still manually operated. These lighting systems use HID lamps or high-pressure sodium lamps as the light source which consume an enormous amount of energy and release a lot of heat
This paper presents an economic and efficient design of a solar powered streetlighting system
Summary
As of 2017, globally 70% of all electricity was generated by burning fossil fuels [1], a source of air pollution and greenhouse gases. A major part of energy supplied to cities around the world is consumed by streetlights and path lights. According to the statistics discussed above, most of the lights in cities around the world are still manually operated. These lighting systems use HID lamps or high-pressure sodium lamps as the light source which consume an enormous amount of energy and release a lot of heat. Since they are manually operated many problems like maintenance issues, timing and connectivity issues arise. The use of IoT enables automation of any system and helps simplify various problems involved in an otherwise manual setups
