Vadodara Municipal Corporation got National awards for Energy conservation in street lighting

Vadodara Municipal Corporation got the national award for Energy conservation in street lighting second time in just 3 years.
Just read what the BEE presentation talks about our street light controller.
Microprocessor Base
d Intelligent Street Light Controller. (Implemented in the year2008 – Low Cost Saving) VMC has implemented energy efficiency approach in new street light projects in the year 2008 with lighting design approach. Most important feature of this project is Installation of Microprocessor Based Intelligent Street Light Controller with GSM technology for data transfer, remote operation & monitoring of streetlight (SCADA).



Function of Microprocessor Based Intelligent Street Light Controlleris:

1.
switch ON & switch OFF timings at preprogrammed time, which
will take care of seasonal variations (table 1.6A).
2.
Voltage reduction after 11.00 P.M. (i.e. during low traffic density timings)
which gives savings of approximately 40%.
3.
Remote operation & monitoring from central computer.

4. All electrical parameters transferred to central computer after switching ON.
5.
Non working luminaries can be monitored from current (Amp.) at central
computer. Control room operator can pass on the instructions to the maintenance team without doing physical patrolling.
6.
In case of fault, energy saver unit generate & send SMS to the concerned
person looking after maintenance of that area.
7.
In case of emergency, streetlights connected with GSM technology can be
switched ON/OFF.
8.
Day to day monitoring of energy consumption.
