5 5. Contextual Addressing
Each device has a unique ID; all reads verified & time stamped Synchronize measurement and control actions – analyze system performance, determine price strategies & monitoring power quality across all or any portion of the network Create group addresses, e.g.: - DR programs - TOU rate plans - customer location Time synchronized messages can be broadcast to combinations of groups Query individual device or the entire system in a simple & effective fashion Real-time monitoring and event alerts Timely Information Time Synchronization combined with the Contextual Addressing feature, enables a utility to detect energy losses, including theft and meters out of calibration, down any segment of a distribution system in a very short amount of time.

6 TUNet Network Overview
Two-way, real-time data communications network Range of WAN options: public/private; used individually or mix & match: 220/900 MHz RF Wired or wireless IP (WiFi, WiMAX, GSM) Broadband including FTTH & FTTP Self-initiating, self-healing LAN for easy deployment & management: 900 MHz; unlicensed spread spectrum shared by industrial & scientific applications Versatile HAN for DR applications: ZigBee or 900 MHz Purpose-Built for Public Power TUNet is efficient, affordable, flexibly deployed and provides the backbone needed for full Smart Grid functionality… all at once or one step at a time.

7 TUNet Components TUNet CONTROL CENTER WAN LAN / HAN Network management
Data repository Interoperable with utility software suites Wireless & wired: - 220/900 MHz, Fiber, WiMAX, GSM Private or Public Networks WAN/LAN collectors RF range extenders 900 MHz Meter communication modules Load control devices Smart thermostats (IHD) Data can be collected monthly, weekly, or daily as required. Each base station can conduct 20,000 transactions per channel per hour, where a transaction may be a detailed on-request energy reading or 8 hours of 15-minute interval data. If greater capacity is required, then it is simply a matter of adding another channel.

9 900 MHz HAN (optional ZigBee)
How It Works TUNet TCC monitors and manages network / stores & routes data IP Communications WAN provides two-way long-range, real-time wireless coverage WAN collectors connect to LAN cluster anywhere within radio range TUNet Control Center WAN 900 MHz LAN Meter transceivers collect and relay data and commands within LAN and back to WAN Home Area Networks support in-home displays & load control devices Multiple LANS connect to WAN to support urban & rural service areas, E/W/G metering and Smart Grid functions: AMI, DR & DA Data can be collected monthly, weekly, or daily as required. Each base station can conduct 20,000 transactions per channel per hour, where a transaction may be a detailed on-request energy reading or 8 hours of 15-minute interval data. If greater capacity is required, then it is simply a matter of adding another channel. 900 MHz HAN (optional ZigBee)

10 TUNet LAN ARCHITECTURE
Collectors anchor LAN and communicate with utility via WAN TUNet meter modules automatically associate within LAN TUNet TECHNOLOGY Utility can communicate with all or individual devices – interval or real time All events time stamped and verified – meter reads, outage alerts & load control actions X LAN automatically reconfigures itself if existing path blocked – trucks, trees, walls, etc. TUNet LAN devices use spread spectrum frequency hopping techniques to communicate using unlicensed channels in the MHz ISM frequency band. Communication between LAN devices utilize encryption and a proprietary frequency hopping spread spectrum protocol that is not impacted by other services in the band and is resilient to environmental noise. The 900 MHz LAN is a peer-to-peer network that is self-configuring thereby requiring no data entry to connect to the network during deployment. The 900 MHz LAN is self-healing such that if a device loses its primary communications path to the network, the device will automatically seek out a secondary path and reconnect to the network. The nominal range between 900 MHz LAN devices is 500 meters nominal; rural TUNet applications in mountainous terrain have operational legs > 2,000 meters. The 900 MHz LAN can daisy-chain, or relay, up to 15 hops between LAN devices before reaching a 220 MHz WAN collector. Click Sequence Utility & WAN backbone RT-3205 with communication via tower LAN – network branches out Poll all devices within LAN – interval read Real time read of individual meter – PQM, outage verification New path established if existing route blocked New path New endpoints – residential New endpoints – C&I and high density New TUNet devices automatically associate within existing LAN residential, water & gas, C&I, load control, etc.

TUNet-enabled devices including ITRON electric meters provide complete support of ITRON ERTs (Electric *SCM, Water/Gas 100 Series *NIM) 4. Itron electric, water & gas ERTs are accessed and read via TUNet-enabled devices (meter, load mgt, smart thermostat, etc.) 5. TUNet communicates ERT (R300/100/60W) data via WAN TCP/IP to TUNet combined head end 8. All ERT data is stored by TUNet and can be integrated with billing and other systems via MultiSpeak® 2. TUNet RT-3505 “sharkfin” collector provides 220 WAN to LAN gateway 6.

42 ERT OVERLAY DEPLOYMENT SCENARIO
Sample deployment scenario for a utility partially deployed with ERTs – transition from drive-by or mobile to fixed network Deployment Sequence Benefits 3) 100% ERTs 2) 80% ERTs Utility A 1) No ERTs 1) Deploy current version CENTRON I w/ TUNet for areas not installed with ERTs 2) Deploy 20% CENTRON II ERT-enabled TUNet devices for select residential areas or customers desiring smart grid functionality (i.e. Prepay, Remote Disconnect, Distributed Generation) 3) Deploy a mix of TUNet- enabled CENTRON I/II, and SENTINEL depending on functionality 1) 1ph residential smart grid for AMI functionality Increased responsiveness to outages/restorations Reduce meter reading costs 2) TUNet reads 80% ERTs % = AMI functionality plus advanced functions to targeted electric customers Extends life of ERTs On ramp to 2-way smart grid functions only where needed (i.e. Commercial & Industrial, Remote Disconnect, etc.) TUNet reads ERTS 1 1 2 2 3 Maximizing values of 1) Use current MVRS software to provide interface capability to CIS t Southwest and northeast – 100% 900MHz-Repeater overlay – areas where there is 100% ERTs Centron 1 meters where are not ERTs End of the line voltage Filling in gaps with current gen product – operational meter reading savings Centron 1 and Centron 2 ERT reading capability and remote disconnect for completing deployment Brad we will review this this afternoon to ensure we have this clear. I anticipate you will revise this page significantly. LEU: -For deployment planning where do you get your route information that categorizes routes into 1) 100% ERTs deployed,   2) partial ERTs deployment or   3) nearly no ERTs deployment.  - Each category utilizes unique coverage, maximizing current deployed assets while accelerating cost reductions through automating early route reading and early deployment of current Tantalus/Itron technology providing PQM, outage reporting and load profile analysis for individual or grouped meters. - How will Measurement Canada recertification impact your deployment?  Where are the strategic areas in your service territory that coincide with labour saving tasks that will allow early cost savings to be recognized?  How we compare the meters due for change out in 2012 with operational benefits and early deployment of current Tantalus/Itron meters & communications infrastructure.    3
