Smart city — Platform for emergent phenomena power system testbed simulator

摘要

Due to climate change issues, fossil fuel depletion and increasing economic pressure, "smart" cities will have significantly altered physical, social and economic systems, built upon smart infrastructure. Key infrastructure is energy, with focus on electricity. The paradigm of physical, data transfer and information flow layers of the smart city power grid is shown. Challenges of the new urban development arising from the presented paradigm of the future power grid are defined and tools for approach to creation of an testbed simulator with respect to new hazards defined. The goal is to create a platform for analyzing emergent phenomena in future power systems, based the electricity infrastructure of a smart city.
