What Is Intelligent Street Lighting?
Nov 29, 2016
Intelligent street lighting is expected to become an important breakthrough in building smart cities. The future of wireless WiFi, charging piles, data monitoring, environmental monitoring, poles, and other fields, can rely on street lights and intelligent control platforms to achieve.
Intelligent street light is the application of advanced, efficient, and reliable power line carriers and wireless GPRS / CDMA communication technology, to achieve remote centralized control and management of the street. The system has the functions of automatically adjusting brightness according to traffic flow, remote lighting control, wireless network coverage, fault active alarm, lighting cable security, remote meter reading, and other functions, can significantly save power resources, enhance public lighting management level, the use of urban road intelligent lighting System, operation and maintenance costs will be reduced by 56% per year.
National Bureau of Statistics data shows that from 2004 to 2014, the number of urban road lighting from 10.5315 million to 2301.91 million, and the city road lighting industry maintained a rapid development trend. In addition, in recent years, China's total electricity consumption of lighting accounts for about 14% of electricity consumption. Among them, road and landscape lighting electricity consumption account for about 38% of lighting electricity consumption, becoming the largest area of lighting. Traditional street lamps are generally sodium-based, have high energy consumption and high wear, and LED lights can reduce power consumption, and the overall energy saving rate can reach 50% or more. After the intelligent transformation, the intelligent LED light's comprehensive energy-saving rate is expected to reach 70%.
As of last year, the number of China's intelligent city construction has reached 386, and the wisdom of the city through the concept of exploration gradually into the substantive construction stage. With the acceleration of the construction of the wisdom of the city, as well as the Internet of things, cloud computing and other new generation of information technology widely used, intelligent street light construction will usher in rapid development opportunities. Expected by 2020, China's LED intelligent street lamp market penetration will increase to about 40%.
