Public Lighting and Streetlights
(Public Lighting and Streetlights – Hourly Energy Dataset)
Dataset Purpose
This dataset acts as a base data service for algorithms oriented towards the intelligent and efficient management of public lighting, allowing urban lighting networks to be transformed into adaptive, safe, and energy-optimized systems.
The dataset allows for the analysis of energy consumption associated with streetlights and lighting panels, enabling dynamic dimming strategies, early fault detection, and predictive maintenance, all within a Compute-to-Data environment that preserves municipal data sovereignty.
Scope and Technical Considerations
Given the critical nature of public lighting for citizen security, the dataset is designed to minimize operational and security risks:
- Data is filtered by a specific time period (day, week, or month)
- The resolution is hourly
- Only strictly necessary energy fields are included
- No direct exposure of precise location data or individual status of luminaries
This approach allows for service optimization without compromising security or operational continuity.
Dataset Type
- Private Dataset
- Non-downloadable
- Accessible only by authorized algorithms
- Governed under municipal access and operation policies
- Executed via Compute-to-Data on Empower-X
Users do not access the raw data directly.
Dataset Content
The dataset contains hourly energy data associated with electrical supply points powering public lighting networks and sets of urban luminaries.
Each record represents the energy consumption of one supply point (CUPS) at a specific hour, without revealing sensitive information about the infrastructure.
Dataset Format
The dataset follows a fixed tabular format, common to the rest of the ecosystem datasets.
Dataset Structure
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
cups_id | Supply point identifier (anonymized if applicable) |
timestamp | Date and time of the record (hourly resolution) |
energy_consumed_kwh | Energy consumed in that hour (kWh) |
energy_generated_kwh | Energy generated in that hour (kWh, if exists) |
energy_exported_kwh | Energy exported to the grid in that hour (kWh, if exists) |
In lighting networks, generation and export fields are usually null.
What Each Field Represents
-
cups_id Identifier of the supply point associated with a public lighting network or panel, anonymizing the exact location and specific asset.
-
timestamp Allows for analysis of hourly patterns of switching on, dimming, and consumption linked to urban activity.
-
energy_consumed_kwh Electrical energy consumed by luminaries and control systems during the indicated hour.
-
energy_generated_kwh Energy generated locally (if associated self-consumption systems exist), when applicable.
-
energy_exported_kwh Energy exported to the grid, in case of local generation.
Relation to Algorithms
This dataset feeds algorithms oriented towards:
- Dynamic lighting optimization
- Detection of anomalous consumption
- Predictive maintenance of luminaries
- repair route planning
- Reduction of operational costs and carbon footprint
- Improvement of citizen security
Algorithms access only the fields necessary for each analysis.
Security, Governance, and Audit
- The data does not leave the secure environment
- Dataset download is not permitted
- Access regulated by municipal policies
- Auditable executions
- Results always aggregated or derived
This design guarantees urban data sovereignty and the protection of critical infrastructures.
Summary
The public lighting and streetlights dataset provides a secure, governed, and hourly view of the energy consumption of urban lighting networks. Designed as a private data service for Compute-to-Data, it enables the execution of algorithms for optimization, predictive maintenance, and efficient lighting management, reducing costs and emissions while improving service quality and citizen security.
