DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLAR FED INTENSITY CONTROLLED STREETLIGHT

Abstract

SPV based LED Streetlight has advantages over other conventional lighting systems as no power  conversion is needed. LED work on DC and energy optimization is possible by controlling the duty cycle of the LED driver. The components of Solar Fed LED Street lighting system are SPV array, MPPT, dc-dc converter and battery unit. In this paper, the intensity of solar fed Street light is controlled from traffic hours to non-traffic hours which results in saving the electricity consumption. A hybrid street light model is also designed and developed. The simulation studies are performed in Matlab-Simulink environment
