Jaipur based Genus Power Infrastructures Ltd. has unveiled a Smart street lighting System, which is an IT enabled Automatic Online Monitoring System with Data Analysis Software.

Unlike the traditional manually controlled system this is very cost effective as it not only measures the electricity consumed but also controls the on/off timings with seasonal variations using the internal Real Time Clock of the Meter and high efficiency low power consuming latching relays.

The meter has been integrated with GPRS Modem so the utilities can communicate and get information about the loads, tampering and consumption patterns. The On/Off switching time can also be changed, by using GSM/GPRS communication modules. This will eliminate a major source of revenue loss to electricity boards due to improper switching of the street lights and will also apprise them of the system parameters on the fly.

It has an built in feature based on astronomical algorithms which precisely calculate the timing of switching the lights on and off based on the exact sunrise / sunset timings on each day for next 100 years at precise longitudes and latitudes. This feature maximizes savings on electricity.

For over a decade "Genus" has been providing technically advanced Metering Products and Solutions through which Electricity Distribution Utilities have been able to control and reduce the Electricity theft and have also been able to improve the revenue recovery.
