Observe the Electric Power Grid With Minimum Investment

IoT Sensor Placement Game

This activity is in the form of a computer game that attendees can play. The objective of the game is to select nodes in a given graph such that all other nodes in that graph are adjacent to the selected nodes. The individuals who identify the least number of selected nodes to satisfy this objective would be declared winners of the game. This game introduces an actual power system planning problem, namely, placing minimum number of expensive IoT sensors to observe the power grid.
