In both measured and calculated values, large active power consumption<br />

variations are noted, with a maximum power variation of approximately:<br />

ΔP 0,2 [kW]. (22)<br />

This value (22) is closed to the rated power of a regular <strong>street</strong> <strong>lighting</strong><br />

lamp (250 W) and higher than the dimmed rated power for the same kind of<br />

luminary (150 W).<br />

The result shows that using a simple comparison between measured active<br />

power values, from the monitored area, in different days, would have resulted in a<br />

false positive result indicating a burned lamp.<br />

Using the proposed algorithm, expected power consumption of each lamp<br />

is computed based on measured values for each reference interval, taking into
