VARGAS, Carlos; GUAMAN, Jesús; RODRIGUEZ, Katherine  and  RIOS, Alberto. Design and Implementation of CLOUD/GIS Platform for Management, Operation and Control of Photovoltaic Lighting Systems. Rev Politéc. (Quito) [online]. 2020, vol.45, n.2, pp.19-30. ISSN 2477-8990.  https://doi.org/10.33333/rp.vol45n2.

This article describes the design, simulation and implementation of a prototype for the management, operation and control of a photovoltaic lighting system from a Cloud / GIS platform. The Cloud / GIS platform controls the luminosity level of LED luminaires and integrates a Geographic Information System, GIS. The electronic prototype of LED lighting was installed at the Technical University of Ambato. The automatic lighting control prototype is programmed for two forms of operation: the days from Monday to Friday, and Saturdays and Sundays. Likewise, a methodology for analyzing the economic and environmental impact associated with the implementation of a platform for the management, operation and control of photovoltaic lighting systems is proposed. Finally, a comparative analysis of the economic and environmental impact of conventional public lighting systems was carried out, without any control of luminosity, in front of a public lighting system integrated to a Cloud / GIS platform for the management, operation and control of LED luminaires.

Keywords : Public lighting; Cloud Computing; Control; Photovoltaic Lighting; LEDs.
