Electric Grid

Invenia Labs Ltd wanted an illustrative model for their exhibition in California, to help communicate how the electricity grid becomes congested when it is over used. LEDs were used to illuminate the various frosted acrylic buildings: Nuclear plant, coal plant, stadium, residential and commercial. Congestion of the electricity grid was illuminated in red. All elements could be illuminated independently or simultaneously with individual push buttons.

All elements were connected with high tension wires through Electrical towers, substations and transformers.
