ABB challenged the future leaders in engineering to get creative and demonstrate how they would design an interactive smart grid city model and integrate smart grid technology into an Australian city of their choice. The winner secured a grant to construct their Brisbane city vision model to be displayed at ABB s upcoming Automation and Power World Australia event at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Queensland.

At the close of submissions, each Smart Grid City Model entry was reviewed by an ABB judging panel that analysed their concepts including design and aesthetics, proposed use of smart grid technologies as well as overall construction feasibility.

Their greener and smarter city concept was inspiring with the introduction of distributed energy resources utilising renewable energies, "ABB s efficient HVDC and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) technologies along with automated substations, dynamic pricing, advanced metering infrastructure and real time communication which are essential to a smart electricity grid were incorporated in the submission. The winning entry was prepared by University of Queensland students John Puckett and Henry Wang with Professor Tapan Saha acting as the supervisor. Saha said, This was an excellent opportunity for the students to immerse themselves in a real-world future application."
