This paper addresses strategic decision making issues for the energy management of urban street lighting. We propose a hierarchical decision procedure that supports the energy manager in determining the optimal energy retrofit plan of an existing public street lighting system throughout a wide urban area. A bi-level programming model integrates several decision making units, each focusing on the energy optimization of a specific limited zone lighting system, and a central decision unit, aiming at a fair distribution of actions among these various systems, while ensuring an efficient use of public funds. We apply the technique to the case study of the city of Bari (Italy), to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed optimization model.

Abstract

This paper addresses strategic decision making issues for the energy management of urban street lighting. We propose a hierarchical decision procedure that supports the energy manager in determining the optimal energy retrofit plan of an existing public street lighting system throughout a wide urban area. A bi-level programming model integrates several decision making units, each focusing on the energy optimization of a specific limited zone lighting system, and a central decision unit, aiming at a fair distribution of actions among these various systems, while ensuring an efficient use of public funds. We apply the technique to the case study of the city of Bari (Italy), to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed optimization model.
