The primary goal of the proposed architecture is to build an adaptive, scalable, and reliable system to support energy provisioning with limited infrastructural planning. Our vision focuses on two use-case scenarios: promote electrification and energy sharing in isolated rural areas, and support emergency response crews in disaster relief situations. Both scenarios rely on the deployment of an autonomous micro grid based on movable generators and renewable sources which will dynamically reconfigure itself and adapt to changes with minimal user intervention.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE Green Technologies Conference}, pages = {315–321}, numpages = {7}, keywords = {Ad-hoc Network, Smart Grid, Self-Organization}, series = {GREENTECH '13} }
