An Embedded System for Power Saving Of Street Light Controller

K. Y. Rokde, M. J. Hedau

Abstract: This paper is about an saving of power for street light controller using Embedded technology. In the todays era of electronism, power is always concern a major issue, though we have limited resources for power generation. It is Power saving and energy conservation concept which in another context can be power generation. In other words power saving is power generation. The Street lights which consume lots of power if it can be used in proper operative mode and time bound conditions then it can be prove to be great efforts to these power savings. This paper is on street light controller mainly focuses to control operations of street lights in group, so that proper light conditions has to be maintained on street lights with alternate ON-Off control according to time bound conditions. Secondly light measurements and input voltage measurements also forms the part of work which in turn avoid unnecessary switching of the lights and forms the part of protection by giving proper voltage operative conditions. All these protections which contributes in increase efficiency of power utilization with increase life of street lights makes the saving of national revenue in form of saving of power, saving of natural resources with the technology advancement. The cost of generating the electricity is very high. We cannot store the electrical energy. Therefore energy conservation is very important.
