Prototipo para determinar fallas de funcionamiento en luminarias Led de alumbrado público

Abstract

This research project aims to design and develop a remote management prototype to detect malfunctions in LED streetlights, optimize maintenance tasks, reduce operating costs, and enhance energy efficiency. To this end, a functional prototype was built following the steps established in the methodology. It integrates measurement sensors, microcontrollers, and a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) communication module, enabling real-time monitoring of key electrical variables, including voltage, current, power, power factor, and energy consumption. Data is stored and visualized through the Ubidots platform. At the same time, GSM communication facilitates the transmission of automatic alerts and daily status reports on the luminaires. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that the developed system provides high accuracy in measuring electrical parameters, and is capable of efficiently detecting and reporting various simulated faults, such as power outages, voltage drops, surges, current drops, and abnormal energy consumption. This study demonstrates that implementing this system could significantly contribute to the modernization of electrical infrastructure, promoting the concept of smart cities and the efficient use of electrical energy.
