Creating a Digital Grid

A Smart Grid is the foundation for a next-generation utility: “The central nervous system."

A single NETWORK where every utility, commercial, or consumer, asset will be energy aware.

Smart Devices respond to grid conditions & utility energy objectives via the Smart Grid Network.

And Will Deliver Benefits to Customers

• Remote initiation, transfer, and termination of service

• Automatic disconnection and reconnection

• Prepaid metering

• Individualized pricing and additional payment conveniences

• Energy efficiency programs and energy savings for residential and nonresidential customers

• Load control initiatives

• Elimination of Meter Access Plan and estimated meter reads

• Increased power quality

Increased reliability, and reduced outage duration s

Societal Benefits Enabled by a Smart Grid

• Initial estimated impact (US, 2010) : 35 – 187 billion kWh annual energy savings

• Equivalent to reducing 23 – 120 million metric tons of CO2

• Equivalent to taking 4 to 20 million carsoff the road

Open IP Networking Architecture Lowers Cost and Increases Flexibility

� IP standards “invites” innovation from outside the utility industry– WAN selection independent of meter

technology

� Leverage network to share expensive components– Multiple devices can use the WAN– Communication to the home can go through

or around the meter– Leverage carrier’s device management

capability – e.g persistent outage alarms

� Open IP transport– Adopt new WAN technologies over time– Greater security and scalability– Powerline + RF network backbone gives

utility Access to All Locations

� Web-services head-end interface– Simplifies integration– Provides scalability, fault tolerance– Enables “future-proof” evolution
