Smart Street Light System Integrated with Internet-of-things based Sensors for Energy Monitoring

Abstract

In this proposed work, two prototypes are implemented, one is for smart parking and the other is for monitoring the energy consumption of the same. With the implementation of IoT based Street Light System in the field, nearly 60-70 percent of electricity saving can be achieved as compared to conventional systems. Here, this system is not only controlling the switching of the street lights ON/ OFF but these electricity consumption details can be monitored remotely through another developed prototype. It is demonstrated that for a single pole electricity consumption is nearly 1.2KW load per pole which results in power consumption of 14.4KWh from evening 6:00 PM to morning 6:00AM with conventional system. The implemented system is energy efficient in terms of energy saving, which is nearly 9.6KWh can be achieved per day on each pole with same specifications. Moreover, real-time implementation of the proposed system is also demonstrated. IoT is a key technology in healthcare sector for managing, monitoring and controlling the medical devices, services and processes with the basic sensing and actuating components.
