Abstract

The demand for electricity to power auxiliary systems and places in the world increases to promote convenience for all humans. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 made the government to impose a national lockdown and other regulations to control the spread of the deadly virus. This led to the wastage of electrical energy due to lighting in many common areas on campuses, offices, and hostels. Therefore, there is need for sustainable energy solutions in the country such as a smart lighting system, which would be energy efficient, and affordable with less complex operational and control systems. This paper presents the development of an optimized Smart Energy Efficient Lighting System (SEELS) to contribute towards the mitigation of strained utility grid. Therefore, it offered 39.6% savings in energy consumption and expenditure to the consumers with reduced demand on the utility grid.
