Intelligent street lighting to be installed in the city centre of Tartu
Tartu City Government
/ The Tartu City Government recognised the tender submitted by Leonhard Weiss Energy AS, with a cost of EUR 112,452, as being successful in the public procurement for the renewal of street lighting in the city centre of Tartu.
The public procurement involves replacing the existing 320 sodium lights within the city centre area of Tartu with energy efficient LED lighting, within the framework of the SmartEnCity project.
Energy efficient street lighting will be installed along Pepleri, Pargi, Kuperjanovi, Õpetaja, Tiigi, Vanemuise, Aida, Lao, Kalevi, Tähe, W. Struve, Akadeemia, Kitsas, Soola, Lille, Vallikraavi, Filosoofi, Lootuse, Kastani, Veski, Kooli, A. Haava, and Näituse Street.
Cityntel OÜ will install management controllers inside of all lighting fixtures, which will allow for the remote organisation of the operation of the lighting (switching on-off, dimming) and to control the performance of the lighting fixtures. In addition to the installation of lighting fixtures, a variety of traffic and environmental sensors will be installed (traffic density, motion, weather, etc.), which will be integrated with the control of lighting fixtures. In doing so, an intelligent street lighting network will be achieved.
The works are being financed in part from the city budget (EUR 70,000), with the remainder coming from European Commission support.
The City of Tartu is participating in the international project SmartEnCity, during the course of which an energy efficient city district operating based on smart solutions will be created from the Khrushchyovkas located in the city centre. One of the main activities of the project is the renovation of Soviet Era apartment buildings into nearly zero energy buildings. A smart home solution will be created for residents of renovated buildings, allowing them to monitor and regulate energy consumption from their home. The smart city district will employ innovative solutions in district heating, street lighting, and the use of renewable energy, and charging stations for electric cars and rental points for electric bicycles will be constructed there. The SmartEnCity project is being funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
