Experimental Study of Higher Harmonics Content in Street Lighting System Current

Abstract

Due to energy efficiency improvement requirements, street lighting system operators tend to reduce the electricity consumed by the lights themselves, and also minimize losses in the system. Smart lighting control systems are commonly used for this purpose. An important aspect of electricity power and quality issues is the higher harmonics content in street lighting system current, which was the subject of experimental research the results of which were presented in this paper.

Design of a Measuring System for Electricity Quality Monitoring within the SMART Street Lighting Test Polygon: Pilot Study on Adaptive Current Control Strategy for Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filters

“…During the simultaneous operation of various appliances, the power quality (PQ) tends to deteriorate significantly. Therefore, there is still room for compensation of higher harmonics currents, which would lead to improvements in PQ.Another way of saving money for street lighting operation is to optimize the performance and usability of this lighting [6,15]. This can be achieved using various control methods.…”
