the city. • In a Jakarta trial by Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy (MOE) Research and Development Agency, more-efficient street light lamps combined with dimming and scheduling capa- bilities yielded 59% in energy savings. Plus, Jakarta was able to detect electricity theft and reduce maintenance and operational logistics of their outdoor lighting system. • The City of Paris replaced 80,000 light fixtures with a multivendor open system. In addition to saving 35% in both energy and capital expenses, Paris is using its citywide lighting network as the basis for developing Smart City applications. In Sénart en Essonne , a four-city area 35 km south of Paris, an outdoor lighting system has helped reduce the area’s operating budget and maintenance costs while increas- ing road safety. • A state-of-the-art outdoor lighting system controlled by smart technology provides Sau- di Arabia’s Riyadh and Mecca with real-time outdoor lighting control. Now, the cities can remotely turn lights on and off, adjust their intensity through automatic programming or sensors, detect energy leakage or possible ca- ble cuts, and receive an alarm for any unauthor- ised opening of a power supply cabinet door. • Milton Keynes, 45 miles northwest of Lon- don, modernised its outdoor lighting net- work by installing smart electronic bal- lasts and enterprise monitoring software. The city’s lower-wattage street lights – paired with a control network and various sensors – allow lamps to adjust illumination automatically for longer life and less light pollution; cast higher-quality light; and help the city satisfy various EU and worldwide directives to reduce energy usage.
lighting control. • Compliance with European Union, worldwide, and local laws and directives for reduced ener- gy use, CO 2 emissions, and use of high-pollut- ing components such as mercury. • An infrastructure for efficiently controlling future technologies, including Smart City and Internet of Things applications. Real-world examples • Norway’s capital, Oslo, was one of the first cities to deploy a large-scale intelligent, open standards-based outdoor lighting network. Data from traffic and weather sensors and an internal astronomical clock are used to auto- matically dim some street lights, thus reducing energy use by 62%, extending lamp life, and lowering replacement costs. • Elsewhere in Norway, Øvre Eiker, famous as the site of the first major Viking gold find, in- stalled a dynamic outdoor lighting system with PLC transceivers and controllers that reduced street light energy use by 45%, cut mainte- nance costs by 35%, reduced CO 2 emissions, and helped meet EU directives. • Using the new technology, Quebec City saved 30% in energy use, reduced maintenance and inventory costs, increased public safety, and beautified the city’s historical district. • After installing electronic dimmable ballasts and enhanced fixtures controlled by technol- ogy, the densely populated Chinese cities of Dongguan and Shenzhen saved an average of 52% in energy costs; identified cable theft; and reduced the number of maintenance people. • Dublin completed a successful project replac- ing 1300 light points with electronic dimmable ballasts controlled by CMS cloud-based soft- ware. With average energy savings of 35%, Dublin approved the solution for the rest of
