IoT-ENABLED SMART

LIGHTING SYSTEMS FOR

SMART CITIES
 INTRODUCTION
• A basic need for electricity is for lighting in public and
private residential areas. Today, approximately 10% of the
total energy distribution is consumed by public lighting.
• In a smart city, the lighting system is integrated with
advanced sensors and communication channels to obtain a
Smart Lighting System (SLS).
• The goal of an SLS is to obtain an autonomous and more
efficient lighting management system.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Each year, in the world, several trillion kWh are expended on
street lighting. According to the International Energy Agency,
the overall demand for public lighting will be 80% higher by
2030 than in 2005.
• On an average, 18%-38% of the total energy bill goes
towards street lighting. Another name for public lighting is
“unmetered load”.
• So a management system is needed for taking autonomous
decisions to ensure efficient power management in public
lighting is proposed.

 COMPONENTS

• LED lamps
• NodeMCU ESP8266
• IR Sensor
• Resistor
• Battery (Power Supply)
 COMPONENTS ( Contd..)
NodeMCU ESP8266 :-
 It is an opensource IoT platform.
 It includes firmware which runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC
 It is a Wi-Fi enabled board.
Setting up the System - Motion Detection
i) Connecting LED’s & Sensors for automatic detection of
vehicles & pedestrians
Setup the connections of the system as follows:
IR Sensor:
IR Sensor NodeMCU ESP8266
VCC 3.3V
GND GND
OUT A0

LED:

LED NodeMCU ESP8266

+ve Pin Digital Pin (D0 to D8)
-ve Pin GND

After setting up the connections, dump the code from Arduino IDE to
the NodeMCU ESP8266 board.
 WiFi Connection

• An available WiFi network’s SSID and Password is provided

in the code.
• Once the code is dumped, the NodeMCU ESP8266 will get
connected to the WiFi network.
• And a localhost ip address will be displayed in the serial
monitor of Arduino IDE.
• The web page with the specified localhost will be used to know
the information about the leds.
Working:- (Sensing)

Initially, all the lamps will glow at low intensity.

The sensors will be idle and their value will be high. (at idle,
1024).
The sensors will be connected to the lamp, so the information
sensed has to be passed to the connected lamps and the lamps
will change their intensity according to the sensor value.
When any vehicle or pedestrians passes on the road, the
sensors detect the motion and the value of the sensor will be
reduced.
Thereby the intensity of lamps are increased to the maximum.
The details about the intensity of the led’s will be displayed in
the web page.
Thus once a vehicle passes on the road, all the lamps nearby
will glow brightly.
Working:- (Fault Detection)

If any LED lamp is not glowing, the sensor will detect it.
This fault of the specific damaged lamp will be passed to the
admin via the WiFi interfaced using NodeMCU ESP8266
module.
The fault message will be displayed in the web page and the
respective admin will take necessary action to repair them.
Power Calculation :-
Let us calculate the power consumption on an average for just 50 street lights in the
existing conventional street lighting system and also in the for our proposed smart
lighting system.

For Existing System,

On an average, the power of an LED street light = 20 watts
Total power consumed per day(17:30 to 06:30) = 20 x 13 = 260 Wh
Total power consumed per month (30 days) = 260 x 30 = 7.8 kWh
Total power consumed for 50 street lights in a month = 7.8 x 50 = 390 kWh
Total power consumed for 50 street lights in a year = 4680 kWh
Power Calculation (Contd..)
Let us assume that , the LED’s will glow brightly during the peak hours ie., from
18:00(6:00pm) to 21:00(09:00pm). On this assumption the light will change it’s
intensity to high for a minimum of 150 times per hour(totally 450 times approx.).
For Proposed System,
On an average, the power of an LED street light = 20 watts
Total power consumed per day (approx. will be bright for 7 hours
[18:00 – 21:00, 5:00 – 6:00]) = 20 x 6 = 120 Wh
Total power consumed including dimmer time = 120 + 40 = 160 Wh
Total power consumed per month (30 days) = 160 x 30 = 4.8 kWh
Total power consumed for 50 street lights in a month = 4.8 x 50 = 240 kWh
Total power consumed for 50 street lights in a year = 2880 kWh

Power units that can be saved = 4680 – 2880 = 1800 kWh (approx.)
Average power conservation rate = 38.46%
STREET LIGHT - POWER
CONSUMPTION
 SOCIETAL IMPACT

• Implementation of SLS in the smart city can reduce power

consumption in indoor and outdoor scenarios significantly.
• Use of different sensors such as light sensor, motion sensor,
etc. in SLS provides flexibility in controlling the light
intensity of LUs which eventually leads to lower energy
usage in lighting systems.
• Power consumption can be reduced as high as 38.46% than
the conventional lighting system.
