This paper aims at managing the power consumption in smart cities, especially in urban areas. With constant and tremendous increase in the rate of urbanization in the recent few decades, it has become highly inevitable to prevent the increase in power consumption. This problem can be harnessed in outdoor unit by using positive output Luo converter which consists of three levels of voltage lifting technique to manage energy consumption in street lights by using solar energy. This device periodically activates and disconnects street lamp during the day and night, by detecting the intensity of light via the LDR sensor. This aids in converting low voltage to high voltage of 200-250 Volts using Voltage Lifting Technique and power is supplied to street lights. The usage of three levels of lifting technique makes it possible to supply power even during rainy and cloudy periods. People being callous do not take care to turn off the indoor electrical gadgets after use. Sensors such as PIR sensor and DHT11 can automatically control their usage by switching off the loads when no person is detected in the room. This work reduces power consumption and thereby energy can be saved in the future.
