Operation of Public Lighting Networks at Voltage Lower than Nominal

Public lighting networks (PLNs) play a crucial role in urban infrastructure, directly impacting safety and comfort. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of PLN operation at reduced voltage, considering factors such as voltage drop, line parameters, and component capabilities. A case study demonstrates the feasibility of operating PLNs with a wide voltage range, offering insights into potential benefits and challenges. Overall, the study underscores the potential of innovative operational models to enhance the efficiency and reliability of public lighting networks.
