Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for controlling a streetlight lighting operation. The system includes a plurality of streetlights, pole controllers associated with one or more streetlights and segment controller for a set of streetlights. The segment controller is configured to generate control signals based on control criterion that are translated as commands to the pole controllers to operate the streetlights. The operation of streetlights includes switching on, switching off or dimming of the streetlights. The method described herein also includes receiving feedback from the pole controllers that is useful for monitoring and maintenance operations.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for managing energy consumption for efficient recording, monitoring, control of electricity or energy usage and payment collection for the same. The energy consumption recording method for managing energy consumption multiple host users, comprises steps for collating electricity meter data from each meter associated with the each host user, through a data concentrator unit, wherein the data concentrator unit comprises at least one sensor for each electricity source associated with the each meter. Method further includes a step for translating the electricity meter data from each meter into the meter indicative parameters for each host user, communicating these meter indicative parameters to a meter data management database, and recording the meter indicative parameters for each host user in the meter data management database.
