Energy data services with connected street lighting

Street lighting is a major component of electrical energy consumption in outdoor municipal infrastructures. Developments in light emitting diode (LED) and information and communication technology (ICT) are enabling deep energy savings in street lighting. We consider energy data enabled lifecycle services in the scenario of an upgrade from traditional street lighting to a connected street LED lighting system. Specifically, we present a data application programming interface (API) and methods for lifecycle energy data services covering three key aspects (i) installed power data management, (ii) upgrade savings estimation, and (iii) excess energy accounting. We use energy data from a connected group management lighting system to evaluate the proposed methods.
