elective courses in the areas ofinformation-communication technologies (ICTs). Such courses should benefit both MSEE andBS REE (Renewable Energy Engineering) programs. When the Covid pandemic occurred inMarch, we modified our plans for actions. First action was to examine the inherent correlationsbetween mobile ICTs and renewables, and second action was related to simulations. In thispaper, we’ll describe the lessons learned in the second endeavor, along with the softwareapplications. For example, 5G connectivity introduces enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)supporting high data rates and low latency, allowing large data flow instantaneously. Massivemachine type communication (mMTC) supports a large number of connected devices includingIoTs. Ultra
