Development and implementation of an intelligent system for permanent evaluation of light fixtures in a lighting system of transmission system substations

Substations in the transmission system operated by ČEPS, a.s. are currently being modernized and a new system is being developed to ensure control, management and monitoring of lighting systems. This paper includes information about the development of the new monitoring system, especially with regard to ensuring secure and reliable communication between measuring systems and the central control system. The operation of substation lighting is monitored by PAC control system, which makes it possible to investigate different types of lighting. The use of PAC control system is aimed at ensuring reliable operation and control of outdoor lighting, as well as at the monitoring and investigation of remote control lighting systems in the transmission system substation. In this way, better control, greater safety and more effective maintenance may be achieved.
