Context
A smart grid is an evolved grid system that manages electricity demand in a sustainable, reliable and economic manner. Designing and understanding this energy transition can be complicated. To demonstrate the behaviour of a small part of the grid, a smart grid simulation table is designed and built consisting of several 3D-printed miniature modules interconnected by different types of power lines (high, medium and low voltage) simulated by LED strips. The table is to serve as a simulation tool for providing basic understanding on the functionality of the Smart grid concept and it is intended for students, teachers, government officials and other stakeholders involved in the energy transition. There are several interested customers for this demo table: educational institutions (Hogescholen, ROCs), electricity network companies (Alliander), municipalities, and many firms involved with energy. We are developing the prototype (2.0) of the Smart Grid Demo Table in partnership with Alliander B.V.
