A Queueing Model-Based Experimental Analysis of Mobile-Energy Distribution Stations (M-EDS) for Smart City Urbanization

Abstract

Smart devices, terminals, energy grids, houses, users, and companies united under one roof have recently grown into smart cities using various technical tools and ways to communicate, process, and exchange information. Urbanization plays a significant part in developing smart cities among the many application services that smart cities offer. Many users/consumers who live in rural areas commute daily to urban areas for jobs, school, and other purposes. There are not many people there, therefore building comprehensive smart city services would be a waste of time, money, and resources. However, there is a chance that urbanisation may create a small-scale industry for development and a beneficial energy grid for those living in rural areas. A completely functional energy grid is also challenging to build; one must comprehend and determine the parameters before manufacturing. To examine the incoming energy rate from rural areas connected to the primary smart city energy grid, this article presents an efficient Mobile Energy Distribution Substation (M-EDS). Every home's energy inflow rate is assessed, and resources are distributed following the queueing criteria the M-EDS has examined. Two categories—dynamic energy and fixed energy—are used to measure the rate of incoming energy. The suggested mobile energy distribution substation's performance is examined considering these two evaluations, and its benefits and drawbacks are highlighted.
