Naiduniya representative, Indore. Street lights across the city will now turn on and off according to the weather. They will be controlled by the Centralized Control Monitoring System (CCMS) under the SCADA system. Information about the low or sufficient light according to the weather will reach the signal control room from the street light and the street light can be turned on or off directly from there. This entire process will take 20 seconds.
There will be information about about 150 street lights on a panel in the control room. This system will also help in preventing electricity theft. As soon as the load on the street light increases, the information will reach the control room. The new system will save about Rs 2 crore 72 lakh per month for the Municipal Corporation.
