Original Abstract

One of main challenges of estimation consumption of electrical energy is determining of exact switching on and switching off time of public lighting system. During the year the exact switching on time depends especially on latitude. During the day the exact switching on time depends on longitude. But switching time of municipalities lying on the meridian can be different. This time depends on distance between municipalities and this difference is changing during the year. Minimum occurs during the spring and autumn equinox. Maximum occurs in summer and winter solstice. This fact can play significant role in estimation of consumption of electrical energy of public lighting system. This article deals with estimation of error size in determination of electric energy consumption generating from neglecting correction of municipality latitude location. At the same time it evaluates the importance of settlement uniformity on the exact area. The correct electrical energy consumption estimation allows better public lighting system evaluation within the same state. Based on this estimation better measure of decreasing electrical energy consumption can be done. And this caused some economic and ecological benefits.
