Smart Grids and Citizens

A transition towards a smart and decentralized energy system involves changes in terms of infrastructures and technologies as well as changes in social and political areas. Robin Smale will explain this and show how citizens are involved in co-creating a more sustainable energy system. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Obtain a general understanding of how citizens engage within smart grids. Design policies; governance arrangements and coordination structures for resilience planning and response addressing policy-making; public private partnerships and civic engagement. DURATION: 1 short video (~5 min long)

Smart Cities and Smart Citizens

In the video, Ingrid Boas will explain the concepts of smart cities and smart citizens and apply them to the case of smart grids. She addresses risks related to exclusion, access and privacy issues. Who has access to the generated data besides the consumer? And, whose responsibility is it to help balance the grid? LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Assess vulnerable groups; involve stakeholders and governance questions surrounding critical infrastructures including resilience engineering measures to reduce/absorb shocks and stresses. DURATION: 1 short video (~6 min video)

Smart Grids and Inclusive Design

In this exercise, students will explore the possibility of designing smart energy grids using the approach of value-sensitive design. Rather than using a rule-based ethical theory to determine the best objective answer, students will approach the question with a focus on the ways that different members of society will be affected differently, specifically by looking at values and needs.

Smart Cities

Smart cities can profoundly transform an urban system by using ICT technologies to promote sustainable practices. For example, to become carbon neutral, cities need to reform their energy system; this could be done using smart and decentralized solutions. However, there are many challenges to making this transition successful. This set of videos and materials starts with an introduction to gathering and using spatial data and how it can be used. Then, it will give you an overview of smart grids, energy, and mobility systems, showing how a shift towards smart cities requires infrastructure and technological changes. This inevitably changes the social and political landscape as well. Citizens themselves play a crucial role in helping to co-create a more sustainable, smart urban system. Then, we will look at the implications of smart systems when applied in a societal context. In the first module you will learn about the background and possibilities of agent based modeling applied in an urban context. Then you will learn about the threats that (smart) cities face from cyberattacks and what implications a successful cyberattack could have on the functioning of cities.

Smart Energy in Amsterdam

For cities to become carbon neutral, they need to undergo profound changes in their energy system. In Amsterdam, this energy transition is predominantly focused on smart and decentralized solutions. PhD candidate Robin Smale will introduce Amsterdam’s energy transition and he will discuss some of the socio-technological challenges that this transition has created. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Explain shocks and stresses on critical services and infrastructures (CSIs) of STE systems resulting from a range of disastrous events. DURATION: 1 short video (~4 min long)

Amsterdam: Integrated solutions and inclusive governance in a smart city

HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS CASE STUDY: First, please refer to the Teacher's Guide using the yellow "View Materials" button on the left pane. The teacher's guide outlines the purpose, contents, approach, case structure, and technical information of this case study. This case study was curated from other independently published open educational resources and from existing materials on this platform. These resources are also organized by domain. At the bottom of each resource's page, you can see both the city case study and SURF Resilience domain to which it belongs. Click on the case study or the domain name to navigate to the case study homepage or SURF Resilience collection, respectively. OVERVIEW: This case study contains a teaching guide, seven thematic foci, and a gaming simulation. In the first thematic focus, you will discover the dynamics of co-creation across multiple sectors such as air, smart grids, energy, mobility, green spaces, and water. In 'Amsterdam's Air Quality,' you will visit NGOs like the Waag Society where citizens use art, science, and technology to help address air pollution. Then, you will see how big data and the use of ICT may make aspects of life in Amsterdam more sustainable in 'Smart & Livable Cities.' You will learn how citizens help guard against the disappearance of green spaces, traveling to a buttercup farm where you will see how conflicting visions by different stakeholders are integrated to develop urban spaces. Finally, you will discover how a low-lying city like Amsterdam copes with intensifying rainfall in the 'Water Management & Climate Change' theme and learn about agent-based modelling for resilience. To experience this interdependence of different sectors, play the urban resilience game at the end of this set. You will see how disasters impact the urban system and experience the consequences of your choices on how to protect the city.

Second of the 4 A's: Availability

In this module we will discuss the concept of Availability. In module 2 we have learned that 1 billion people still lack access tot electricity services. But what if they do? Does that mean that all their problems are solved? Unfortunately not. Worldwide, there are plenty of examples where people do have access, but powercuts occur so often, that people still cannot always rely on the grid. Also, when becoming more dependent on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, what happens when there is hardly any sun, or hardly any wind? These questions, among others, will be addressed in this module. Outline: The structure of this module consists of two parts: The theory track. After the introduction video there will be video’s on quality of supply, the availability of energy in a smart grid and dimensions of availability. The case track. This module’s case is on the North Sea Wind Power Hub, where multiple organisations and countries work together to improve the off-shore wind farms.
