Project overview
The Republic of North Macedonia is located in southern Europe, in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula. It is a mountainous, landlocked country. Many of its cities face problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and low energy efficiency. The government hopes to optimize resource management and improve residents' quality of life through smart city technology. From the exploratory stage in 2016 to large-scale implementation in 2021, North Macedonia's "smart city" transformation plan has achieved certain results so far. This transformation plan is an important strategy promoted by the country to promote urban modernization, improve public service efficiency, and promote sustainable development.
Skopje is the capital and largest city of the Republic of North Macedonia. One-third of the country's total population lives here. Its street lights and other lighting are one of the important infrastructures. In addition to replacing LED street lights, real-time remote monitoring of street lights is also one of the important ways to save energy.
Customer Problems
The street light management faces common problems of infrastructure management in typical developing countries, but also has its own unique dilemmas.
1.Low level of intelligence
Relying on manual inspections or simple time switches, lacking remote monitoring, fault alarm and other intelligent systems
2.Waste of electricity
A fixed on-off schedule is used, with no dynamic adjustment based on actual sunrise/sunset times — leading to electricity waste in the morning and evening. This backward management raises municipal electricity expenses by 20%-30%.
3.Unstable power supply
In some remote areas, street lighting may be unstable due to power grid problems. Nighttime lighting blind spots have become high-incidence areas for traffic accidents and security risks.
4.Slow maintenance response and lack of data management
There is a lack of a complete street lamp asset database, and the average fault repair time reaches 7-10 days..
Project Solution
This project enables users to realize real-time monitoring of power consumption, timely fault alarm, scheduled on-off control, astronomical clock switch and real-time monitoring of cable temperature. The number of connected devices is as follows:
ACREL ASCB1 series MCB 770 units
ACREL ASCB1 series 4G gateway 420 units
