MOBILITY PATTERN AND CONNECTED LIGHTING BASED SYSTEM FOR SMART GRID RESOURCE PLANNING AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling energy resources available to micro-grids of a city based on mobility patterns of people moving within the micro-grids. The mobility patterns can be identified using a network of sensors within each micro-grid for collecting data related to the movement of people within the micro-grids. The mobility patterns can be used to estimate energy demand for each micro-grid and prioritize the energy demands to determine the energy resources that would be suitable for supplying power to each micro-grid. This allows for micro-grids to dynamically and efficiently change their power sources according to predictions about the movement of people within the micro-grids.
