“…Regulators and stabilizers are able to control the voltage according to different parameters such as number of vehicles per hour (Moghadam and Mozayani 2011), weather conditions, or the presence of pedestrians (Zotos et al 2012). Their operation consists of hanging the input mains voltage to a variable voltage within the range from 220 to 170 V (Yan et al 2009).…”

There are very few countries that have provisions addressing the energy efficiency of the whole street lighting system, such as Spain or the Netherlands. Nevertheless, there is not an agreement about how energy efficiency must be assessed. The Spanish Government contemplates it in the Royal Decree 1890/2008 with the goal of improving energy savings and efficiency. However, this has not obtained the expected results. Nowadays, energy efficiency of this kind of systems is assessed using a label. In the case of Spain, this label only assesses one magnitude. The contributions of this paper are two evaluation systems (kiviat diagram and pie chart) which assess five magnitudes: lamps, energy efficiency index, light pollution, renewable energy contribution, and harness of the luminous flux using dimming. After that, a survey was done to study several subjects: (1) if citizens are aware about the efficiency of street lighting systems, (2) whether the sample of colors used in the label is adequate, and (3) if our proposed systems could replace the current evaluation system. Finally, the paper finishes with the conclusions of the survey.

Street lighting has a big impact on the energy consumption of Spanish municipalities. To decrease this consumption, the Spanish government has developed two different regulations to improve energy savings and efficiency, and consequently, reduce greenhouse-effect gas emissions. However, after these efforts, they have not obtained the expected results. To improve the effectiveness of these regulations and therefore to optimize energy consumption, a study has been done to analyze the different devices which influence energy consumption with the intention of better understanding their behavior and performance. The devices analyzed were lamps, ballasts, street lamp globes, control systems and dimmable lighting systems. To improve their performance, they have been analyzed from three points of view: changes in technology, use patterns and standards. Thanks to this study, some aspects have been found that could be taken into account if we really wanted to use energy efficiently.

“…This latest generation street lighting systems have been offering great advantages such as a high degree of information exchange, long-term use, less maintenance needs and costs [11]. Also the paper [12] covers data for a campus lighting (National Center for Scientific Research), where energy saving was achieved through dimming from 18:00÷22:00.…”

Original scientific paper This article describes an energy saving system of road lighting suited for different lighting scenarios. The designed system is applied in a university campus for a 12-month period with a resulting 24,1 % electric energy saving. Within the system high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps are dimmed by programmed microcontroller cards at desired rates according to calendar and clock data in a 12-month period using a designed interface. In addition to energy saving, the designed system allows a remote accessed power analyzer to be used to follow up consumed energy data for the lighted area.Keywords: dimmable lighting system; dimmable street lighting systems; lighting control systems; road lighting Primjena prigušene ulične rasvjete pomoću mikroregulatora Izvorni znanstveni članak U radu se opisuje sustav uštede enrgije kod ulične rasvjete za različite vrste rasvjete. Taj se sustav primijenjivao u sveučilišnom kampusu u trajanju od 12 mjeseci uz uštedu električne energije od 24,1 %. U tom su sustavu u periodu od 12 mjeseci svjetiljke s natrijem pod visokim pritiskom prigušene pomoću kartica programiranog mikroregulatora u odgovarajućim rasponima u skladu s kalendarskim i vremenskim podacima primjenom dizajniranog sučelja. Uz uštedu energije, taj sustav omogućuje primjenu daljinskog analizatora energije u praćenju podataka o potrošenoj energiji u osvijetljenom području.Ključne riječi: prigušeni sustav rasvjete; sustavi prigušene ulične rasvjete; sustavi za reguliranje rasvjete; ulična rasvjeta
