Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam

In a context of rising oil prices and a shortage of hydroelectricity, power outages are frequently affecting public lighting in major cities in Vietnam, hence the government's decision to implement a plan to reduce energy consumption.

City authorities in Ho Chi Minh City selected Citelum, after an international call for tenders, to optimize public lighting management in four city center districts, involving 12,000 lighting points.

• Optimizing the quality and continuity of the public lighting service.
• Reducing the amount of power consumed by each lighting point.
• Improving network management and maintenance along with equipment maintenance so as to anticipate failures and detect intrusions affecting installations.
• Building a public lighting control and management center.

Transferring expertise so that the city can benefit from the latest technological progress in energy optimization and installation maintenance.

LUXICOM, developed by EDELCOM (a Citelum subsidiary), handles the control and management functions for the public lighting network from a central control station equipped with computerized management tools for every lighting point.
A dynamic map display allows control of every source.

VIGIEWEB, a computerized installation operating assistance and maintenance solution developed by CITEGESTION (a Citelum subsidiary), provides information on characteristics, forecast failure durations and technical work being carried out on the equipment.
The solution is based on a census of all lighting installations and the network grid.
