A solution for intelligent street lamp monitoring and energy management

In the past, street lamps were turned on or off by a simple Timer or switch. When a street lamp did not light due to fault or electric leakage, it would not be found until it was reported by somebody or found by patrol men. In addition, sometimes the wires for street lamps were stolen, and because the street lamps were extensively distributed, they could not be completely protected by laborers. Street lamps should be protected by automatic detection devices, and with the continuous development of communication technology, such as Zigbee wireless and G3-PLC power line communication technologies, extensive street lamp monitoring and energy conservation management becomes feasible. This study uses G3-PLC power line communication technology to build a street lamp monitoring and energy management system for street lamp security, trouble display, and street lamp on/off energy management, in order to provide a solution for intelligent street lamp monitoring and energy management for reference.
