In Oradea, Energynomics și SmartiCity organised in the Council Hall of the City Hall the first of their joint conferences dedicated to the preparation for smart cities in Romania. In his speech, Dorin Chisăliță, Head of eCity Romania, Enel X Romania, first mentioned the LED urban, indoor and pedestrian lighting solutions from Enel X.
“When we move from an old solution to an LED lighting solution, we make a very big reduction in energy consumption, somewhere between 40% and 60%. Then, we can come up with remote management solutions and adaptive lighting”, he added, presenting two case studies. The first was a lighting infrastructure modernization project that consisted of supplying GDS Talede Plus LED technology equipment and carrying out work to replace the existing lighting fixtures, pole attachments and network connection elements with new, state-of-the-art ones. “We are talking about 663 luminaires replaced and the addition of 37 new luminaires, in a project costing around 80,000 euros and an execution period of 5 weeks”, explained Dorin Chisăliță.
A second project was financed with AFM funds and led to a reduction in energy consumption of about 55%. “This municipality will have no maintenance costs for the street lighting system for the next five years,” he said.
Remote management can make consumption more efficient than just switching to LED technology. “The remote control system can be integrated with motion sensors, so that we have adaptive lighting relative to the road, without shadows. We can also provide remote management and adaptive lighting solutions with cameras so that the light is turned on successively when there is traffic”, he added, presenting some case studies in this regard.
In the segment of digital services, Enel X is present with its own YoUrban application, which includes several solutions, including remote management. “We can incorporate 95% of the solutions on the market. We can integrate here smart traffic lights, pollution sensors, weather, video cameras and other smart city solutions.”
