Engineering Education, 2017 Modeling the Effect of Renewable Energy and Smart Appliances in Energy Reduction of Residential 1 Homes Using GridLab-DI. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND When used in concert, microgrid and smart grid technologies have the ability totransform the way power is delivered. A microgrid is a localized energy grid with a colocated setof power generation sources and loads, with autonomous control, which can operateindependently of the traditional power grid [1]. As a result of this ability for autonomous control,it is possible for microgrids to connect to the main power grid or act in an “islanded” mode.Microgrids can be more efficient than traditional grids due to the

years old and knowledge flowed at a pedestrian pace, compared with today’s “4th Ageof Information(5)”. While the legacy science and engineering curriculum model has produced the talentbasefor tremendous technological advances through the 20th century, many engineering education leaders haverecently amplified calls for a transformation of engineering education to embrace complex systemsthinking, transdisciplinary collaboration, communication, and social impact(6), producing “a whole newengineer”(7). Addressing global grand challenges demands a broader reimagining of university experienceto meet the needs of the 21st century, just as they did to meet the needs of the industrial age(3).
