Lighting using solar energy

In this work, an intelligent smart street light system for remote areas is implemented, the major benefits and drawbacks of SSL are identified, and the feasibility of SSL in remote areas is evaluated using a case study of a remotely street located Real Estate Developer of Cairo University in Bolak Al Dakrour district in the state of Giza, Egypt. The main objective is to investigate the technical design feasibility of standalone solar systems and to evaluate cost benefit analysis of solar LED luminaries compared to convention electrical luminaries, for the outdoor street lighting system with electrical power that generated in solar cells and determine the sizing of system components as well as simulation of lighting arrangements is performed using DIALUX 4.12 software package. The proposed system is made up of a PV plate, a storage system, an LED light, and a controller that regulates power flow and system operation. Results show that the integrated solar street light including motion sensor is used here in this study including LAMP of 15 W LED PHILIPS, 45W Monocrystalline panel, 12 V 37.5 AH Lithium-ion battery and 10 A 12 V charge controller.
