The development background of street lamp controllers

Urban road lighting is the main component of urban public lighting. Urban lighting management is directly related to citizens’ travel safety and the establishment of a good city image. Urban lighting management is an important part of urban public utility management. For any city, the street light controller is an indispensable important infrastructure in the entire street light control. When night falls, thousands of street lights illuminate the streets of the city, from the rush of traffic and crowds, to the silence of the night, and the lights guard the night of the city. Nowadays, whether the street lamp controller is energy-saving has become an important indicator to measure the appearance and appearance of a city. It is worth noting that while urban lighting creates a livable environment and provides people with convenience in life, it also consumes a large amount of electric energy. According to statistics, urban street lighting accounts for about 30% of my country’s lighting power consumption. The annual electricity consumption is about 85 billion kilowatt-hours, equivalent to 30 million tons of standard coal. Based on my country’s average electricity price of 0.65 yuan/KWH, only municipal street lighting is used a year. The expenditure is as high as 55.2 billion yuan. For technical reasons, street lighting cannot be adjusted in real time according to grid fluctuations, illuminance requirements, and lighting periods. At present, the power utilization rate of urban street lighting is less than 65%, and the waste of power is quite serious. According to estimates, one street lamp is 10,000. In cities, the annual energy consumption of street lighting alone is as high as 20 million kilowatt-hours. Due to the lack of advanced technology and scientific management, the annual waste of electricity in street lighting is as high as more than 6 million kilowatt-hours.
Today, when energy saving and emission reduction has become an important national policy of our country, the birth of smart street light controllers is like 'sending charcoal in the snow'. The smart street light controllers realize energy saving and consumption reduction with scientific management and advanced technology, which is not only the implementation of national energy saving policies Important content, but also an effective way for local governments to reduce fiscal expenditures. With the continuous development of science and technology, the broad application of the era of big data, energy-saving lamps and control methods are constantly developing. Since the promotion of the 'ten cities and ten thousand lights' and 193 'smart cities' pilot projects, in 2015, the country officially incorporated the 'Internet +' concept into its core strategic development direction. Internet + smart lighting has achieved unprecedented development. The intelligent street light control system centered on Internet IT technology, GIS geographic information technology, and remote wireless remote control technology is playing an increasingly important role.
