The demand for smart cities has been created by several factors from the governments, society and industry. Thus, smart grids focus on the intelligent management of energy resources in order to maximize the usage of the energy from renewable sources in order to the final consumers feel the positive effects of less expensive (and pollutant) energy sources, namely in their energy bills. A large amount of work is being developed in the energy resources management domain, but an effective and realistic experimentation are still missing. This paper presents a realistic and physical experimentation of the energy resource management. This is done by using a physical smart city model, which includes several consumers, generation units, and electric vehicles.engEnergy resource managementOptimizationPhysical modelsSmart gridSmart citiesconference object
