1 Bob Warden IP Metering and the Smart Grid WAN Revolution October 27, 2008

2 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.

3 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 durations

4 Societal Benefits Enabled by a Smart Grid Initial estimated impact (US, 2010): billion kwh annual energy savings Equivalent to reducing million metric tons of CO 2 Equivalent to taking 4 to 20 million cars off the road Source: EPRI

5 Building for Future Needs Platform for service offerings and support utility business model evolution Enable improved operations and increased operating efficiencies Increased distributed generation and PHEV penetration Extend energy efficiency to the end of the wire Integrate behind the meter applications Minimize stranded costs Manual meter reading Monthly kwh reads Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) One-way or two-way Monthly kwh reads Interval data Basic theft detection Outage/Restoration Detection Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) On-demand reads Programmable load intervals Bi-directional and net metering TOU, RTP, CPP pricing options Demand response Smart Meters Solid-state platform Integrated communications Integrated disconnect switch > Remotely disconnect > Remotely connect Power quality data > Voltage readings > Current readings > Power Factor > Frequency > Detailed power outage data Remote programmable Remotely upgradeable Internal expansion port > Future functionality Utility of the Future Energy Management Services > Residential, Commercial Home area network gateway > PLC (i.e. LONWORKS) > RF (Bluetooth) Web-based applications > Demand response > Prepayment > Load control > Revenue protection > Web move in/out Distribution > Load profiling/engineering > Phase balancing > Transformer optimization > Energy forecasting > Outage and GIS > Work force management > Asset management 0.1k data per Meter increases dramatically 500 k +

6 Smart Grid Intelligent Components Communication & Targeted Infrastructure Benefits Enterprise IT = Services Oriented Architecture (XML/SOAP) Substation Automation Distribution Automation Smart Metering / AMI Behind the Meter Applications Improved reliability Remote breaker operation Improved Voltage Regulation Automated Emergency load reduction Improved asset management Improved reliability Improved PQ Improved system efficiency (Volt / Var Management) Emergency load reduction Reduced equipment inspections Self Healing capability Improved asset management Remote meter reading Remote connect / disconnect Prepaid metering More billing options (weekly, bi-monthly or monthly) Auto On site outage reporting Meter accuracy improvement Energy Efficiency Peak Load Mgmt Demand Response Rates CO2 Offset from peak reduction Reduction of technical losses due to better modeling Reduced energy theft Improved public safety Desire to Grow Applications and Data Access 6

11 Save A Watt (Beyond the Meter) Avoid Building More Power Plants Renewable Integration In Home Displays H2O UCM PHEV Smart Meter Home Automation Smart Thermostats Whole House Energy Manager Mobile Support

12 Save A Watt Portal Showing Digital Home Energy Information reduces Peak Demand

13 Echelon DigitalHome Ecosystem In-Home Displays Energy Aware Appliances Television Interfaces Web Portals Routers and switches Computers Switches & Outlets WiFi Enabled Phones 13

14 Network Energy Services Vision EDMS Applications GPRS EVDO Around the meter Through the Meter Google Gadgets 14 Smart Grid Network: WAN selection is not dependent on meter Public Networks all the way to customers Multiple devices can use the WAN Communication to the home can go through or around the meter Customer choice of HAN Gas, water meters Single Platform Works Everywhere RF LAN Streetlighting

15 Need Options to Solve RF Problems Mixed Use Buildings Storefront on street level apartments above 3-4 floors Zero front lot line comes right to sidewalk Locked Cellar access in street/ sidewalk

16 Cellar meters require remote comm access 2 thick stone walls, sidewalks in front, metel cellar doors, individual locks 6-8 electricity and gas meters

17 NES meter with RF Expansion card Antenna RF card (IEM) Open Interface for 3 rd party development card Badger Orion 17

18 Apartment and town homes Often a cluster of buildings and transformers around a parking lot - sometimes closed metal cabinets RF? PLC Subnet Sharing IP Connection

19 Echelon NES - IP Meter All-in-one residential meter IP in the Meter Open WAN, LAN cards Leverage TCPIP processor and 2 USB interfaces Ethernet, WiFi, Cellular, RF Mesh Open HAN hardware and software interfaces gas/water/electricity meters in-home devices Street lights Load curtailment devices 200 A Integrated disconnect ANSI IP Meter 19

20 IP Meter WAN Card Open standard WAN Card interface supports Ethernet CDMA/EV-DO GPRS/UMTS LTE Utility RF and RF mesh High-power Wi-Fi for metro Wi-Fi areas WiMAX any USB/IP enabled wired or wireless WAN Partner Program and Developer s Guide Factory integrated Field replaceable 20

21 Summary Key Concepts - Utility of the Future Open, IP standards invites innovation from outside the utility industry Leverage Public Networks all the way to customers Multiple devices can use the WAN WAN selection is not dependent on meter technology Communication to the home through or around the meter Customer choice of HAN A Platform That Works Everywhere 21
