The article presents the main problems of street lighting associated with the presence of large volumes of electricity losses, which are the reason for its irrational use. A method for solving these problems through the use of energy service contracts is described. The possibility of implementing these contracts together with state support mechanisms is considered, which allows for an integrated approach to achieve the main goals of modernizing street lighting systems aimed at ensuring energy conservation and improving energy efficiency. The results of the application of this approach are presented on the example of the Smolensk region, which justify the feasibility of its use.

Introduction: This Literature Review article is the result of a research on the current situation of smart public lighting systems with light-emitting diode (LED) technology in cities around the world. Problem: How convenient is it to use smart public lighting system with LED luminaires? Objective: To review the context of smart public lighting with LED technology. Methodology: Within this project, a lit review was conducted with more than 50 academic articles found in different databases such as: IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ScienceDirect etc. The selection criteria of the information followed the revision of articles from 2006 to 2018, and also, took into account their installation and performance in different cities and places of the world. Furthermore, articles on polluting and inefficient technologies were excluded. Conclusion: Considering the current context in which LED smart public lighting is, it is more likely to be implemented in the future. Results: Smart LED street lighting systems are more efficient in energy use, leads to savings in costs in medium terms, and finally, present a lower environmental impact compared to conventional lighting systems. Limitations: The review focuses on energy efficiency and economic aspects, not on social aspects. Originality: Smart LED public lighting systems have been researched within the economic and energy efficiency context.

The City

Investing in the optimal measures for improving the energy efficiency of urban street lighting systems has become strategic for the economic, technological and social development of cities. The decision-making process for the selection of the optimal set of interventions is not so straightforward. Several criticalities-such as difficulties getting access to credit for companies involved in street lighting systems refurbishment, budget constraints of municipalities, and unawareness of the actual energy and economic performance after a retrofitting intervention-require a decision-making approach that supports the city energy manager in selecting the optimal street lighting energy efficiency retrofitting solution while looking not only based on the available budget, but also based on the future savings in energy expenditures. In this context, the purpose of our research is to develop an effective decision-making model supporting the optimal multi-period planning of the street lighting energy efficiency retrofitting, which proves to be more effective and beneficial than the classical single-period approach and has never before been applied to the considered public lighting system context. The proposed methodology is applied to a real street lighting system in the city of Bari, Italy, showing the energy savings and financial benefit obtained through the proposed method. Numerical experiments are used to investigate and quantify the effects of using a multi-period planning approach instead of a single-period approach.

This article describes an innovative method for measuring lighting levels and other lighting parameters through the use of aerial imagery of towns and cities. Combined with electricity consumption data from smart electricity meters, it was possible to measure the energy efficiency of public lighting installations. The results of this study also confirmed that lighting measurements, installation material, luminaire position, and electricity consumption data can be easily integrated into geographic information systems (GIS). The main advantage of this new methodology is that it provides information about lighting installations in large areas in less time than more conventional procedures. It is thus a more effective way of obtaining the data required to calculate the energy efficiency of lighting levels and electricity consumption. There is even the possibility of generating street lighting maps that provide local administrations with up-to-date information regarding the status of public lighting installations in their city. In this way, modifications or improvements can be made to achieve greater energy savings and, if necessary, to correct the distribution or configuration of public lighting systems to make them more efficient and sustainable. This research studied levels of street lighting and calculated the energy efficiency in various streets of Deifontes (Granada), through the use of aerial imagery.

Energy Service

The need for development of new efficient technologies in the modern world arises from growth in resource consumption. One of the main consumers of fuel and energy resources in Russia is a housing and utility complex. More than half of the buildings in the country were built more than 40 years ago. Despite the fact that the buildings, for the most part, have not yet their service life expired, the systems that provide electricity, heat and water to housing and utility services are in an unsatisfactory condition, they are morally outdated and do not meet modern needs. In recent decades, many developments that bring significant savings in resources appeared, both by reducing losses during their transportation, and by introducing technologies that optimize using of the resources. Implementation of such projects, although it brings tangible savings in resources, requires significant financial investments. Households and large municipalities often do not have an opportunity to find such significant money at a time. A solution to this problem can be involvement of an energy service company, which at its own expense implements a project to improve the energy efficiency of using resources, and then, within several years, it will receive some income for cost of saved resources. The article examines one of such projects, presents possible ways of implementing energy service activities, and presents the results of financial and economic calculations of consequences of a potential investor’s participation in such a project. As a result of implementation of the energy service project, electricity consumption will decrease by 15 %, the saved funds will allow the investor to have the return on investment from participation in the project in the amount of more than 25 % per annum, and the customer will significantly improve reliability and quality of providing the population with electricity. Results of the research conducted by the author demonstrate a great potential of practice of implementing energy service contracts for solving priority tasks of increasing the energy efficiency of the housing and utility complex.
