Control of Outdoor Lighting Systems with Long-Distance Communication

This article describes the problem of control of outdoor lighting systems in electrical stations of a transmission system. It describes the problems of controlling lighting systems using the DALI standard. Due to the large size of the power station, long distance communication must be ensured. This article deals with the individual possibilities of communication with luminaires. The operation of the lighting system of the electrical stations of the transmission system is monitored by a programmable logic controller (PLC) control system, which allows for the control and diagnostics of individual types of lighting. The main reasons for controlling lighting systems are energy savings, proper visibility of the camera system, and reduction of light pollution.
