EFFICIENT SYSTEM FOR REDUCTION OF POWER USING ZIGBEE NETWORK AND SENSORS IN STREET LIGHTING

This paper proposes energy efficient system for reduction of power using zigbee network and sensor in street lighting. The main objective is to design energy efficient based street lamp via appropriate lighting levels control. This system consists of a arm controller, light sensor, motion sensor, current transformer to reduce the flow of current and a set of the light emitting module. While, the controlling and managing of the system is based on intensity of light. Different level of street light brightness has been used for lighting up the street. The system was programmed to automatically turn off or on during the hours of daylight based on the intensity of light and operate during the night. Several numbers of tests have been conducted to test and validate the proposed prototype in the different environment. As conclusion, reduction in power consumption can be achieved through this proposed system and can also know the amount of the time that street is working.
