Abstract:
Distribution stations provide alternating current for most streetlights. As a result,
utility companies are required to distribute more power. Currently, however, there is a
possibility of using renewable energy sources for streetlights to reduce utility
company consumption rates. A streetlight will turn on at 40% of its maximum
intensity when there is no object beneath it, according to the program. An Arduino is
set to increase the brightness to 100% if any person or vehicle passes a nearby
streetlight. Upon expiration of the preset time and if there is no object detected, the
intensity gradually decreases to 40%. In the morning, LDR will send a command to
Arduino and the streetlight will be turned off. Battery-operated streetlights normally
operate with electricity stored in them. When the battery is not sufficiently charged,
streetlights will automatically switch to utility power.
