Smart Street Light Poles Demonstration

This project is aimed at demonstrating new services and benefits of LED Street Lighting including new technologies that can integrate with LED Controls/Remote Monitoring to provide additional functionality and capability. These additional capabilities include signage, cameras, microphones, environmental sensors and charging of devices.

This report provides insight into the kilowatt-hour (kWh) energy consumption of four smart street light poles in Covina, California over approximately one year of operation. It includes information and analysis of the poles' total daily, monthly, and seasonal kWh usage consumption. Additionally, it provides insight into the operation of individual technologies mounted on each pole. Report Overview Evaluating Power and Energy: The report comprehensively assesses the performance of four smart poles in Covina, focusing on their power and energy consumption. Analyzing Time Periods: The initial section of the report provides insights into the operational patterns of the poles, detailing consumption across various periods, including weekly, monthly, and seasonal trends. Insights on Individual Poles: The subsequent section delivers a detailed analysis and summary of each individual pole's performance. Recommendations Based on Data: The report concludes with practical, data-driven suggestions aimed at enhancing the operation and overall efficiency of the smart poles. Appendix with Additional Details: The Appendix following the main report offers more detailed data on each pole's performance, including daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal data, and comparisons between days of operation.   This report aims to provide a holistic understanding of the dynamic field performance of Covina's smart poles during the evaluation period via data-driven decision making, to assist SCE in understanding the true performance, grid, load profile, and sustainability impacts of smart pole deployment.
