Optimizing the Energy Efficiency of a Lighting Network using Graph Theory
Author:
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss how to make electric street lighting systems more energy efficient by creating an algorithm and mathematical model for optimizing parameters, minimizing active power losses, and finding the best topology for the lighting network when it is being designed or updated. Scientific and technological progress has led to an increase in the complexity of every human being's daily life. Companies, institutions, and countries constantly need to find modern tools to help them make the best decisions. Graph theory has numerous applications to many everyday problems. It can resolve and simplify them. An algorithm was developed to determine the shortest length in the form of a modified Dijkstra graph, with nodes supporting the street lights and ribs being the wires connecting them.
