Description
The project proposal envisages the implementation of the energy saving measures prescribed in the prepared energy audit efficiency of street lighting on six streets in Shabla. According to the regulation, the following measures are envisaged: 1. Replacement of luminaires: A complete replacement of all luminaires with modern LEDs with reduced power losses is proposed. Using them will guarantee very accurate achievement of the set lighting characteristics with significantly less electricity consumed. 2. Introduction of an energy management and renewable energy system. The development of smart street lighting is related to the deployment of Internet of Things technologies in the urban environment. This helps to improve the quality of life of the population, optimize costs and provide additional services through the associated lighting infrastructure. Internet of Things-connected systems allow you to adjust the amount of light according to atmospheric conditions, for example, or on a pre-set schedule for each day of the year. One of the most important benefits of this intelligent connectivity is the ability to increase security in the city by tailoring lighting to different emergencies such as road accidents. 3. Establishment of a system for monitoring energy consumption Remote sensing meters will be included in the system, allowing direct access to real-time reading of the energy consumed. 4. Establishment of a system for automation and management of energy consumption 5. Construction of a photovoltaic system to cover their own needs - delivery and installation of 77 standalone photovoltaic lamps. Following the implementation of the system the following improvements will be achieved: • Reduction of purchased energy from an external supplier; • Utilization of energy from a renewable energy source; • Ensuring energy independence; • High level of energy efficiency.
Summary of project results
The problems that are intended to be solved with the implementation of the project are: to increase the energy efficiency of street lighting in the territory of the city; to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; to reduce the municipality''s electricity costs; to improve the quality of street lighting and increase the percentage of illumination; to improve road safety for drivers and pedestrians at night; to increase the production of energy from renewable sources; to increase the expert capacity of the municipality''s employees in the field of renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy management. In addition to reducing direct electricity costs after the implementation of the project activities of the measures, financial savings are also expected from reducing the annual costs of operation and maintenance of the outdoor artificial lighting system. These savings are due to the elimination of the need to replace lamps and the significantly less frequent replacement of lighting fixtures, including labor and material costs.
Complete replacement of all lighting fixtures with modern LED ones, with reduced electrical energy losses.
Introduction of an energy management system and use of RES-The development of intelligent street lighting is related to the implementation of Internet of Things technologies in the urban environment. Internet of Things-connected systems allow for regulation of the amount of light according to atmospheric conditions, for example, or according to a pre-set schedule for each day of the year. One of the most important advantages of this intelligent connectivity is the possibility of increasing security in the settlement through adaptive lighting response to various emergency events such as road accidents.
Construction of an energy consumption monitoring system. For better control of the outdoor lighting system, the delivery and installation of an energy consumption monitoring system is planned. It includes electricity meters with remote reading, which allows direct access for real-time reading of the energy consumed. The data obtained are accumulated in a central server. Through easy access to reports at any time and the possibility of various analyses of energy consumption, a secure mechanism for additional optimization of the lighting system is provided. The system will include electricity meters with remote reading, which allows direct access to read the energy consumed in real time.
Construction of an automation and management system for energy consumption - The centralized system allows simultaneous or sequential switching on and off of street lighting, as well as according to a pre-set scenario, consistent with the regime of daytime natural lighting (during the day and by illumination) for the specific settlement.
Construction of a photovoltaic system to cover its own needs.
Increasing the energy efficiency of street lighting, which leads to improving the living conditions of the population, ensuring safe vehicle movement, increasing pedestrian safety at night and creating a comfortable night atmosphere. Achieving compliance of the level of street lighting with street lighting standards - by purchasing equipment of the appropriate class, according to the recommendations of the survey and installing a management and monitoring system. Reducing direct costs while ensuring high quality of lighting.
Summary of bilateral results
Improved bilateral cooperation with interested stakeholders in the field of energy efficiency to present good practices and future development of the city and the municipality in this regard.
