Attention Students
Submit a video about Smart Grids for a chance to win 500 EUR
• Submit a 1-3-minute video showcasing the benefits of smart grids or innovative smart grid concepts.
• Videos will be posted on the IEEE SmartGridComm website for visitors to vote for the best video.
• Top 3 will be selected from votes, and from these the winner will be selected by the committee.
• Winning video will be shown at IEEE SmartGridComm, where the winner will receive 500 EUR.
We
invite students to submit a video presenting fresh and original views,
which may stimulate the research community. In particular, we welcome
short videos (duration: 1 to max. 3 minutes), which present original
visions in either one of the following two categories:
• Explain
innovative smart grid concepts: Dream up new applications, user
interfaces, technologies, scenario’s enabling, or enabled by, smart
grids. These should be at least conceptually explained; providing some
technical solutions is not mandatory, but can be a plus. For example,
describe a new smart phone app that allows to monitor your energy
profile and provide incentives to reduce your energy usage (or
stimulates use of “green energy” coming from renewable sources).
•
Showcase benefits of smart grids: i.e. why do we believe smart grids
are necessary, what challenges do smart grid concepts/technologies
solve, etc.? For example, provide some quantification of energy
requirements for electrical car charging and an how to deal with it
using an appropriate control mechanism.
Submissions are to be sent to SmartGridComm_Student_Video@comsoc.org by August 19, 2011.
Videos
will be screened by a jury for compliance with the scope of the
competition as outlined above. The approved videos will be posted on the
IEEE SmartGridComm website, where visitors will be able to vote. From
the votes, the top 3 will be selected, and from these the winner will be
selected by the committee. The winning video will be shown at IEEE
SmartGridComm, where the winner will receive 500 EUR.
