A smart street lighting control system for optimization of energy consumption and lamp life

This paper introduces the optimization of energy consumption and lamp life for smart street lighting control system. The main components of this system are: Monitoring and Management Software, Internet Protocol, Segment Controller, LonWorks Power Line Communication Technology and Outdoor Lighting Controller. The naive exhaustive search algorithm optimizes energy consumption and the lamp life every 30 minutes subject to its constraint. The search space is limited to five dimming levels and the three group arrangements of street lighting lamps. The premier scenario is applied to the smart street lighting control system in order to reduce energy consumption and increase lamp life. The experimental results for a group of 30 400-watt lamps demonstrate the efficacious and operational of proposed method. The total energy consumption is decreased by 20% and the average lamp life is increased by 100% in 12 working hours.
