Conventional Street Lighting (PJU Konvensional) is a public street lighting system that uses electricity from the PLN power grid or other power plants as its energy source. This system is a form of street lighting that has been used for a long time before the development of renewable energy technologies such as Solar-Powered Street Lighting (PJUTS).
Main Components of Conventional Street Lighting:
- Lighting: Usually uses types of lamps such as HPS (High-Pressure Sodium), MH (Metal Halide), or LED for illumination.
- Lamp Post: Used to support the lamp and its accessories.
- Energy Source: Directly connected to PLN electricity or a generator as a backup.
- Electrical Cable Network: Connecting lights to the PLN power source or other power plants.
- Distribution Panel: Controls electrical current and protects the system from disturbances such as overloads or short circuits.
Advantages of Conventional Street Lighting:
- Stable Light: Direct electricity source from PLN provides a consistent power supply.
- Diverse Lighting Technology: Supports various types of lamps, including high-power ones.
- Suitable for Urban Areas: This system is ideal for areas with an established electrical grid.
Conventional street lighting is often used on urban roads, highways, and industrial areas, where electrical grid infrastructure is already available. However, with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly solutions, conventional street lighting is being increasingly replaced by renewable energy-based systems such as solar-powered street lighting.
