Abstract

The paper analyses the power-quality effects of connecting LED luminaires to street lighting installations. The power quality impact of LED luminaires and the implementation of smart control systems are discussed. Several power-quality measurements have been performed to determine the effect of connecting multiple LED luminaires to the electrical power network. Three LED street lighting systems were selected, each equipped only with LED luminaires of different power ratings and numbers, produced by different manufacturers. The measurements were performed at the lighting connection box, and the results are presented and discussed for each case.
