In this paper, we studied accident-aware smart streetlights to prevent secondary accidents when driving on highways. It used Arduino and sensors to inform drivers of weather conditions, incorporated functions such as LED brightness control according to sunlight and night driving vehicles, and used Raspberry Pi camera OpenCV to learn various traffic accidents, natural disasters, and wildlife.

Streetlights are very necessary for residents also in traditional towns, although they were originally unequipped and their installation were not well-considered for traditional values of the towns. This research attempts to reveal problems on a traditional area as a fundamental study for installation of streetlights in traditional towns.

In this paper, proposed a new lighting control system which can reduce power consumption compared to conventional street lamps and intelligently control the light efficiently depending on whether there is a vehicle on the street. The new lighting control system proposed by this paper detects the presence of cars by collecting and analyzing sounds generated by the movement of cars. Then, the system controls lighting of street lamps based on the above car detection information, and turns on the street lamps sequentially by transmitting the car detection information. Experimental results showed that lightings were controlled based on the presence of cars and that operations of the lamps were made by turning on the lights sequentially by determining the moving direction of cars. This system is considered a technology that can reduce energies by applying to local roads with a few cars moving or national highways where lights are always turned on with low energy efficiency.

The research measured 14 spots including four streetlights, five public buildings, and five officetels to obtain data needed for the improvement of townscape, grasping the characteristics of the design of landscape lighting of Dongdaeguro in Daegu Metropolitan city. The result of the research shows that landscape lighting by outside lightings of buildings had almost no effect and also it was formed with darker landscape lighting due to high buildings that had no effect of outside lighting. In addition, landscape lighting by streetlights have no unity due to different management facilities of the lightstreets.

태양광/풍력 복합발전시스템은 친환경적인 에너지원의 대표적인 복합발전시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 독립형 태양광/풍력 발전시스템을 이용한 가로등 시스템을 구성하여 출력특성을 고찰하였다. 풍력에서 발전된 교류전력을 DC로 변환하여 태양광발전에서 출력된 DC 전력과 공통 DC버스로 전달되도록 하였으며, 공통 직류단 병렬운전을 위해 출력전압을 일치시켰다. 또한 슈퍼캐패시터를 적용하여 발전된 전력의 배터리 충전매체로 활용하여 시스템의 안정성을 높이고 충방전 효율을 증가시키고자 하였다.

전력선 채널 잡음은 전력선에 연결되어 있는 전기기기들에 의하여 변화하는 특성을 갖으며, 이러한 잡음 특성을 극복하기 위한 한가지 방법으로 DS/SS 방식을 적용하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 저속 DS/SS 전력선 모뎀의 경우 낮은 데이터전송률 때문에, 잡음 특성을 개선하기 위하여 Chip 수가 큰 PN code를 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전원 전압에 동기되어 잡음의 양이 변화하는 것에 따라 PN code를 변경하는 방법[1]을 적용하고자 하였다. 전력선 채널의 잡음은 비교적 부하가 고정적인 가로등 전력선 채널로 한정하여 잡음을 모델링 하였으며, 전원전압에 맞추어 잡음의 양에 따라 PN code 길이를 변경하는 FSK 방식의 DS/SS 시스템을 구성하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 적용된 시스템이 전력선 채널에서 효과적 성능을 발휘함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 대기 오염 물질의 방출이 적고, 소음이 적은 환경 친화적인 Ni-MH전지를 독립형 태양광 가로등시스템에 적용하였으며 충방전제어기를 구성하여 출력특성을 고찰하였다. 출력특성을 고찰한 결과 충전 및 방전이 원활히 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 충전시 정전압 충전방식을 사용하였고 태양 전지 출력측에 MPPT제어가 이루어 지지 않은 탓으로 태양전지 이용률이 떨어지며 화창한 날 태양전지의 등가 발전시간은 약 6시간에서 7시간 정도 나오지만 축전지는 오전 중에 충전이 완료되고 오후발전량은 모두 버리게 됨을 알 수 있었다.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery charging control are two important functions for a solar battery charger. The former improves utilization of the available solar energy, while the latter ensures a prolonged battery life. Nevertheless, complete implementation of both functions can be complex and costly, especially for low voltage application such as standalone street lamps. In this paper, the operation of a solar battery charger for standalone street light systems is investigated. Using only one voltage sensor, the solar charger is able to operate in both MPPT and constant voltage (CV) charging mode, hence providing high performance at a low cost. Using a lab prototype and a solar simulator, the operation of the charger system is demonstrated and its performance under varying irradiance is validated.

본 논문은 독립형 태양광 보안등에 적합한 전력변환기를 제안한다. 제안된 전력변환기는 플라이백-부스트 콤비네이션 전력변환기로 하나의 스위치로 독립형 태양광 보안등의 배터리 감압컨버터와 LED 구동용 승압 컨버터의 기능을 모두 수행한다. 또한 기존 플라이백 컨버터의 RCD 스너버 회로 대신, 출력에 직접 연결하여 누설 인덕터의 에너지를 출력으로 전달하여 손실을 줄이는 방법을 적용하였다. 제안된 회로를 검증하기 위해서 PSIM 시뮬레이터를 사용하였으며, 회로의 동작 및 구조를 설명하였다.

Following the signing of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 2015), the world is expanding greenhouse gas reduction activities through comprehensive participation that includes not only developed countries but also developing countries. Major countries around the world are placing high expectations on the effectiveness of total carbon emissions regulation through the carbon emissions market. However, in order to obtain carbon credits, third-party verification is required based on quantitative carbon reduction data. Accordingly, in this paper, we developed an AIoT high-efficiency street light for carbon emissions and conducted a performance analysis study to measure the luminous efficiency of the lighting fixture. To obtain carbon emissions rights, we used high-efficiency LED PKG, developed our own high-voltage PFC, and developed high-efficiency lighting fixtures capable of communication. For communication, the 2.4GHz LoRa method was adopted between the lighting fixture and the gateway. Lens design was conducted through simulation of Korea Expressway Corporation's standard streetlight types A, B, and C. The performance of the streetlight was verified as being more efficient than other existing products through the measurement of luminous efficiency by an accredited rating agency, and it is expected that carbon emissions rights will be obtained by reducing electrical energy through this.
