Streetlight Monitoring & Control
i.ILLUMINATION SOLUTION
The Power-One HIQgrid™ i.Illumination™ Streetlight Monitoring
and Control System provides remote streetlight control, optimizes
streetlight uptime, extends lamp life, facilitates lamp replacement,
enhances public safety and reduces street lighting costs substantially
when deployed on a community-wide basis. The full function solution
is scalable up to hundreds of thousands of controlled points.
The i.Illumination Streetlight
Monitoring and Control System consists of digital sensing
and control units that are positioned along utility power lines.
These remote streetlight
control units capture and relay coded data to collection
terminals that "isolate" the digital data streams from
the high-voltage electric current being carried on the same power
lines. The remote
streetlight collecting units then communicate the data via
ISDN, Ethernet, GSM, GPRS or microwave to IBM eServers™ running
ESRI Arc View™ geographic information software that can pinpoint
equipment in need of maintenance or replacement anywhere on the
utility grid. This makes it easy for technicians to respond to
fault and failure signals, and faults often can be corrected
and failures forestalled by remote streetlight control.
The Control Unit collects and stores information
about the lighting system operating conditions. This information,
along with the Control Box identification code, data-stream package
is sent to the next component (the Collecting Unit) through the
grid using a powerline modem.
The Collecting Unit receives and reads the
data-stream packages and sends the collected data via ISDN, Ethernet,
GSM, GPRS, Tetra or microwave to remote monitoring servers for
central streetlight monitoring and control.
The data is available for an integrated digital control system
through an "Application Protcol Interface" that allows communication
with all standard SW environments.
The data interfaces with ESRI ArcGIS control
software. GIS is a system of computer software, hardware, and
data to help manipulate, analyze, and present information that
is tied to a spatial location. This means that by using the ESRI
ArcGIS software, the exact location of each streetlight is display
on the screen as well as providing visualization of analysis
of the data.
