Abstract

This paper introduces a miniature experimental set demonstrating a smart city and its components for engineering education. The model prototype simulates the real life loads and energy sources in a small lab scale, employing the ZigBee communications and power control modules for many use cases in a typical smart city. The grids become smarter with the increase of renewable energy systems’ usage, distributed energy production, and the availability of control and communication technologies on power grids. Therefore the education institutions take actions to educate the students on the state of the art smart grid components. As a part of this goal, the miniature smart city model was developed and some interactive software applications have been embedded to mimic the real smart city applications for engineering education.
