Abstract

Green technology and intelligent cities are becoming part of the global future agenda. Street light is one of the main utilities in the smart city. A recent post from the Edge Marketing Site has said that the start-up has begun with experiments on intelligent street-light controllers, embedded in NB-IoT to improve street lighting in highways and cities and the development of intelligent cities in Malaysia. The purpose of solar street light with intensity controller and power usage monitor using IoT is to build smart cities with control intensity of LED street light mainly at late night to reduce power consumption. Plus, to develop a sustainable green and smart technology which present in a reasonable investment cost. In additional, to minimize maintenance cost for street light as much lower than existing system and for design an effective street light system which help TNB workers to monitor usage of LED street light by referring data especially at night. This project used solar panel which control by charger controller circuit to charge rechargeable battery. Thus, the supply from battery the LDR will control the intensity of the LED according to external weather. Thus, the current sensor will measure current and power that consume by LED. With reference of ESP8266 WiFi module the data of electrical parameters will send to Blynk Application for monitor power usage. Through this application, it given warning sign if it reaching zero current flowing by LED. This project is about reduce power consumption and minimize maintenance cost as much lower than existing system in Malaysia’s current street lightning system on how to effectively operation of light system.
