August 8, 2015ECI Confidential. Smart Grid Definition 2 Present Mode of Operation: “Transporting energy from major generation sources using mostly non-renewable fuels to consumers who have limited knowledge of their consumption, where outages affecting customers are largely unknown until the customer alerts the network operator” Smart Grid Proposition: “dynamic network for two way energy flows; linking widely dispersed renewable energy sources and large energy sources; providing more dynamic information to customers; facilitating customer choice about energy source and level of consumption; and providing real-time information on the performance of the network”

August 8, 2015ECI Confidential. Smart Grid Motivations Smart Grid Changing Demand Pattern Changing Supply: Renewable Generation Regulations New Opportunities 3

August 8, 2015ECI Confidential. 1. Demand for Electricity is Growing ■ Raising power needs in developed & developing countries ■ Conservatives - anticipated growth in demand of 2% per year, this works out to 50% increase in demand over the next 20 years ■ Flexible Tariff -> change demand pattern, More Complex to Predict

August 8, 2015ECI Confidential. 2. Renewable Generation -> Distributed Generation 5

August 8, 2015ECI Confidential. 3. Regulation – Europe ■ EU initiative ■ Improve energy efficiency by 20%, ■ Increase the percentage of renewable energy by 20% ■ To be accomplished by ■ Mandate includes a directive for 80% of European households to have smart metering capabilities by 2020, and 100% by ■ Standards & Interoperability ■ Network Security ■ Stimulus packages -> Support national economic growth 6
