Smart led lighting systems implementation in Lisbon metropolitan area

Abstract

The ambition is to build intelligent networks and intelligent cities by improving energy networks and energy supply. Lisbon Clients and Networks Direction (DRCL) has a close engagement with this project and one of the many initiatives driven is the improvement of smart public Lighting management, together with municipalities head offices, innovation clusters and lighting manufacture companies. The project is being developed by EDPD, LED lighting solutions, management systems suppliers, and R&D companies. The objective is the implementation of test scenarios comprehending traditional street lamps and lanterns replacement by LED light, energy efficiency measures, and ultimately the reduction of public lighting energy consumption. The project also includes the installation of sensors and the development of management system that can be remotely controlled with added features of flux reduction, associated with street movement, either by cars or people passing on the street, and a supervision center that can establish energy consumption profiles for each LED lamp.

Knowledge-based decision intelligence in street lighting management

“…Moving to LED-based fixtures, allows to significantly decrease energy consumption [36]. Infrastructure modernization has been the cities' main focus in their pub-lic lighting management policies [37,38]. This fairly straightforward action not only reduces energy and operational costs [39], but it is also the fundamental step for achieving the so-called smart public lighting, without which the higher levels depicted in Figure 2 are not attainable.…”

Revision of Smart Street Lighting LED

“…In Portugal, the structuring of a modern intelligent lighting in its capital, Lisbon, is currently being studied. There are currently plans to install LED luminaire systems that can be monitored for maintenance and have light intensity control in historic centers based on the flow of tourists [64].…”
