Design and Implementation of an Automatic Solar Panel Based Led Street Lighting System Using Zigbee and Sensors

Electricity has become are indispensable component in the lives of all today. Street lights are one of the most crucial parts for public sector and urban areas. The traditional street lighting System which controlled manually has disadvantages like high power consumption, high cost and there is no effective monitoring system. This paper is proposes an Automatic Solar Panel Based LED Street Lighting System with wireless communication technology and various sensors to facilitate reduced power consumption. The system is connected to ZIGBEE network to transfer the information about street lights by utilizing ZIGBEE transmitters and receivers. The data is sent to base station control to know the status of the street light and to take proper evaluation in case of malfunction. The proposed prototype has been tested in different environmental conditions. The system has achieved 20-22 % of power reduction and economy in maintenance costs. A laboratory prototype was implemented and tested. Experimental results were shown to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
