Construct Automatic Monitoring System for Residential District Street Lamps to Increase Maintenance Efficiency

Abstract:

Residential district street lamps are important public safety facilities for night illumination. Residential district street lamps are numerous, consume a great deal of power, and are difficult to repair and maintain, as they require high costs in both time and labor to maintain individual luminance and a steady power supply to both the system and the lines. An automatic monitoring maintenance management system for street lamps is put forward in this study, which maintains changes in the loop currents of street lamp switch boxes, and uses the function of GPRS to send detected current change values to a control center in order to identify failures of street lamps of different loops, thus, both the cost of maintenance labor and maintenance time can be greatly reduced. The switching of street lamps can be controlled by a control center, and the utility management of energy and safety of the public can be effectively improved.
