Solar-powered LED Street Lighting System Case Study-American University of Sharjah, UAE
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: This report describes an intelligent street lighting system with integrated solar energy resources and mobile application. Based on the rate of 0.45 fils/KW.hr (fils-UAE currency subdivision), it cost AUS (American University of Sharjah) AED 373,852 per annum (AED-UAE currency)due to the usage of conventional high-pressure sodium lamps in their street lighting. In our project, the proposed solution is to replace all of the conventional lamps with LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps in AUS and then control them using motion sensors and further develop a mobile application, using which we can control the switching ON/OFF of the LEDs and at the same time check for defected unit. Solar radiation energy is used to charge the battery during daytime, and offer energy to the LEDs light equipment at night. A dimmable Modula is designed and integrated to the system to dim the LEDs at night from 01:00-06:00am. This system has a double advantage- it utilizes renewable energy and also reduces cost. Keywords: Light Emitting Diode (LED), Power, Renewable Energy, Solar Energy.
