Taiwan's street lights use IoT technology to reduce electricity consumption

Due to the large number of street lamps in Taiwan, China, it is difficult to calculate the power consumption individually, and the monthly electricity bill is mostly used. The fixed monthly payment principle of single street lamp is NT $ 200 (the same below), and IoT technology and LED lamps are used. Significantly reduce power consumption, but also allow the use of data return power, how much to pay much, compared to 70% of traditional street lighting greatly reduced electricity bill.

Calculating about 130,000 street lights in Taipei City, if it is still a traditional street light, the monthly electricity bill will have to bear the cost of 26 million yuan. If the LED smart lighting system is used, the information of the street lights will be instantly returned. The Taipei City Government can pay according to the actual electricity consumption, Limit, a single monthly electricity can reduce 18.2 million yuan.

Du Li, marketing manager at Philips Lighting in Taiwan, said saving energy is no longer limited to using less power, but how to intelligently manage information gathering and enabling the Internet of Things to open the wave of big data analytics. Each street light can be instantly rerouted over the wireless network. Information, government units can be more effectively managed, not only saving electricity at the same time improve administrative efficiency.

For example, Du Li at present China Taiwan's most common failure of street lights, the public must inform the relevant units, government agencies will send staff to repair, but with the wisdom of street lights, once the street lights immediately anomalies can be immediately repaired to reduce the risk of accidents, And the use of data analysis, allowing more accurate control of electricity.

Regardless of government agencies or private companies, hope that by means of big data analysis, more sensitive control management; China Taiwan Philips Lighting Xu Yongtao, general manager, said the smart street lamp system can automatically detect and return abnormal signals, adjust the brightness, short and short control of the collection Data, so that power saving easier.
