Energy Saving Project for Street Lighting on ESCO Basis


BOOT PROJECT:

This is a first ESCO project for Municipal Street Lighting for Municipal Corporations in Andhra Pradesh. All the investment for the project is made by REAL ENERGY (ESCO) and the savings due to reduction in Energy bills are shared by REAL ENERGY and Vijayawada Municipal Corporation for a period of 5 years. After 5 years the equipment will be owned by VMC and the total savings will accrue to the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation.

    WORLD CLASS TECHNOLOGY:

    Lighting LUX level is controlled by a microprocessor, based on incoming voltage and the time of the night. The system provides a programmable interface to adjust the lighting level according to the traffic pattern on the street. The system has an inbuilt data logger for storing the energy data for six months. The data can be down loaded to a PC through RS 232 interface. Switching on and off of the panels is done automatically according to inbuilt data base of sunset and sunrise times of the City. The panels are provided with self protecting and diagnostic features. These are the latest and most advanced panels available in the world.


    ONLINE METERING AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM:

    The Lighting control panels are provided with digital energy meters and GSM / GPRS modems and an IP server,. Real time energy data is transmitted to a central data base server. The system will provide reports of energy consumption per day, per week or per month and provide online monthly bills to APTRANSCO. Energy consumption data can be viewed and reports accessed from anywhere through internet. In addition to energy metering, the system also will help in identifying defective panels and fused lamps in a circuit and help in maintenance.
