Abstract
The issue of outdoor lighting improvement to reduce the environmental burden in industrial cities and is explored. It is proposed to substantiate the expediency of outdoor lighting networks energy modernization (on the example of Kamianske, Dnipro region) in order to provide city residents with quality outdoor lighting services, increase public safety by effectively illuminating urban space, reducing environmental impact (i.e., reducing light pollution and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere) by optimizing the consumption of energy resources. The previous socio-economic conditions and the volume of energy consumption of the city during 2012–2020 were studied. In order to substantiate the economic efficiency of the project, electrical measurements were used in outdoor lighting control units, measurements of the illumination level of the representative streets were held. Energy modernization with the transfer of outdoor lighting to renewable energy sources (solar panels) with the installation of remotely controlled LED lamps will reduce the actual energy consumption of the city network by 6–7 times, while reducing the estimated emissions of CO2 by 6,215 tons per year. It has been determined that the implementation of the project will save up to 1.8 GW of electricity in street lighting systems compared to the expected total consumption.
