This presentation explores the significant impacts that major sporting events such as the Super Bowl, World Cup, and the Olympics can have on the electrical grid. As cities and the electric grid evolve to become more sustainable and intelligent, it's crucial to consider the unique challenges and opportunities these events present, including surges in demand and the need for exceptional resiliency. The presentation emphasizes the importance of advanced planning and collaboration among city planners, event organizers, and utility providers to meet the demands of these one-of-a-kind events.

A key component of this strategy is the management of zero-emission electric vehicle (EV) fleets, including buses that transport event attendees and trucks that deliver essential supplies and food to venues. By integrating these sustainable transportation options, cities can reduce emissions and enhance efficiency, aligning with broader smart city goals. Leveraging EV technology also helps cities manage peak energy loads more effectively, as EV fleets can participate in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) initiatives to support the grid during high-demand periods.

With a focus on the integration of renewable energy, predictive analytics, and infrastructure designed to support real-time operations, these practices ensure that Smart Cities are equipped to host unforgettable and sustainable events. By embracing sustainable transportation and leveraging intelligent grid solutions, cities can create resilient environments that not only accommodate the demands of major sporting events but also contribute to a cleaner and smarter urban future.
