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.
