4. ETSI TC PLT and Smart Grids
Some use cases
Long distance communication : access to isolated houses
Real-Time : Customers profiling enabling good predictions in demand = no need to use an additional power plant
Micro- production : better knowledge of energy produced to balance the network
Demand-side management : boilers are activated during the night when electricity is available
Smart building : significant cost reduction on energy bill through remote monitoring
Any disturbance due to a storm : action can be taken inmediately based on real-time information
Security features Fire is detected : relay can be switched off rapidly
Smart car : charge of electrical vehicles while panels are producing

8. Real-time information available for the consumer
What is my electricity, gas or water consumption since Monday ?
Are my solar panels efficient ? How much did I produce ?
Through any display device :
Connected tablet, PC, Mobile phone, TV, …
What is my carbon footprint ?
How much will be my electricity bill ?

10. New standards are required
Existing IEC standards are based on specifications developed 14 years ago to address the AMR application.
Standards for AMI and Smart Grid must take into account new requirements and stay valid for the next 15 to 20 years
Higher performance
Seamlessly upgradable

16. ETSI-PLT Smart Metering Activities
ETSI DTS/PLT 26 : Command and Control
Specify the for Wide Band Low Rate Command & Control PLT. This specification is to enable Home Area Network in the context of Home Automation applications and Smart Grid. The specification covers PHY and MAC/DLL layers and includes a coexistence mechanism with high rate PLT.
Low rate means < 1 Mb/s, high rate means more than 10 Mb/s.”
