PLC-Enabled Digital Power Supply for Street Lights
The PLC-enabled Digital Power Supply (DPS) is a state-of-the-art module consisting of a power driver integrated with gridComm's GC8800 module, which is based on gridComm GC2200, a proven robust OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) PLC transceiver chip. The DPS along with gridComm Master Light Controller GC1330/GC1338 and gridComm Street Light Management Software (SLMS), together form a complete Smart Street Light control and management system and it enables real-time control and automatic scheduling of switching on and off, and dimming levels of individual lights from a central location. The DPS also provides metering functions for real-time monitoring of operational status, power consumption, current, voltage, and power factor of individual street lights. Different luminary DPS options, such as LED, Sodium Vapor and Metal Halide, are available.
