instructions

To demonstrate your team’s design thinking process applying artificial intelligence (AI) to a smart microgrid system, your team must be able to justify your design of the product to your stakeholders and/or the company’s leadership team in a professional setting. On November 20th, you will propose your smart grid design to a panel of power industry experts from Duke Energy Florida.

The panel will be listening for:

  1. Your reasoning behind each stage of your smart grid design
  2. How your grid design prioritizes the needs of your community’s users
  3. How your smart system supports your community during outages
  4. How AI is used to improve your design

Remember, your main objective is to effectively communicate all the factors used to design your intelligent system. In this contest, your entire design process represents an intelligent system through which you decided how power will be distributed to your community through a smart microgrid system.
