“Smart Grid” is more than Smart Metering

Where IC Vendors Can Help Technical Requirements of the Grid –Low Cost Sensing Solutions need to be deployed across the network –These solutions must be capable of harvesting “real” information from raw data –This real information must be turned into “actionable intelligence” (i.e., recommendations for control, dispatch and/or network operations) –This “actionable intelligence” must be integrated into the utility’s operational systems –Some of these operational systems must be allowed to become background, automated, control applications –Any automated control applications must be able to control end points with validated results Required Smart Grid Building Blocks –Distributed intelligent sensing and control nodes (grid sensors) –TWO-way, open, high speed, low latency communications –Edge and back office analytics software

Business Models and Standards There are HUNDREDS of projects across the country – all “testing out” various business models and technologies to support the Smart Grid movement ( ac6d7d21187&ll= , &spn= , &z=4&om=1) Ultimately, the power utilities must see value (i.e., ROI) in putting in the required capital IP, Homeplug, Zigbee, are standards widely accepted in Smart Grid pilots today; IEEE gaining attention DNP3 and IEC61850 are used for distribution and substation equipment communications World needs a Smart Grid that can utilize these standards and allow for true OPEN integration (defined as allowing a provider to independently build solutions that can seemlessly connect to the network once granted security and permission by the utility) of multi- vendor ecosystems.

The Smart City Project in Boulder, CO $100M Project (85% paid by the utility) Driven by the “Smart Grid Consortium” (formed Dec. 2007) Xcel Energy (utility) Current Group (Smart Grid TM hardware and software) Accenture (project management) GridPoint (IT platform for utilities) OSIsoft (data collection and management) Smart Synch (metering) Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (protection, monitoring & control across transmission lines Ventyz (work management software) Estimated June completion Enel S.p.A. of Italy completed the first Smart Grid city experiment in the Telegestore project. Proven to deliver annual savings of 500 million € at a project cost of 2.1 billion €.
