A micro-distributed ESS-based smart LED streetlight system for intelligent demand management of the micro grid

초록

Currently, many researchers worldwide are focusing on creating a novel service model by integrating IoT (Internet of Things) technologies with ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) to increase energy efficiency by reducing power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper examines the problems related to the current integrated ESS (Energy Storage System) in a smart grid: high installation costs and low management efficiency. To solve these problems, this paper studies the development of a micro-distributed ESS in an intelligent LED (Light Emitting Diode) streetlight system, and its low-cost installation and high management efficiency in a micro grid. Through the application of this system, the initial installation costs can be reduced by using micro-distributed ESS and IoT-based intelligent energy management, facilitating power monitoring of the streetlights and energy efficient demand resource management in the micro grid. This provides a more intelligent and efficient environment, such as in a smart-city.
