Abstract
This paper focuses on the development of an energy efficient street lighting remote management system making use of low-rate wireless personal area networks and the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) protocol to get a duplex communication, necessary for checking lamp parameters like lamp status, current level, etc. Because of the fact that two thirds of the installed street lighting systems use old and inefficient technologies there exists a huge potential to renew the street lighting and save in the energy consumption. The proposed system uses DALI protocol in street lighting increasing the maximum number of slave devices (ballasts) that can be controlled with DALI – originally it can only have 64 ballasts. Some aspects regarding the lighting control protocol and the communication system are discussed, presenting experimental results obtained from several tests.
