PowerSurge: A Serious Game on Power Transmission Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an interactive serious game about power transmission systems. The system familiarizes novices with the basic design and behavior of such systems. Using simple drag and drop interactions, power plants and consumers are placed and connected in a virtual landscape that is presented from an isometric perspective. A series of tutorials fosters the user’s mastery in building and controlling a complex system. The advanced user is challenged by tasks such as the redesign of an established power infrastructure to integrate a large percentage of regenerative power plants. Next to the interface, we detail the model that drives the simulation. The methodologies presented in this paper can be applied to a wide range of serious games about complex network designs.

Transmission opportunity limit and contention window are two influenced parameters in accessing the media in the networks based IEEE 802.11e standard. In these networks, every wireless station by setting of its contention window value, determines the chance of access to wireless media. Furthermore, a transmission opportunity limit provides a period of transmission without contact for a station....
