Flexible Energy Management Model is a smart grid simulation presented as a 3D model simulation. This interactive display allows viewer to monitor the energy flows on augmented model reality island. Through interface buttons viewer can adjust environment parameters such as wind, sun radiation,… which results in energy flow changes.
Through playful interaction Flexible Energy Management Model enables to understand possible gains through innovative management and development of smart grids.
