The Next Big Thing The Enernet The Intersection of Smart Power and Smart Buildings presented by Brian Patterson, President Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
What is the Next Big Thing? Dreaming Wearable tech? 3D printing? Space travel? Low energy transmissions? Mobile payments?
What is the Next Big Thing(s)? We re Begging for? Security, health, comfort, entertainment Uncomplicated, integrated digital world Reliable, affordable, clean electricity where and when you need it Home, car & office working together to support work, leisure and social needs Logical stuff just happens around me
Beggars are fast becoming choosers Smart Buildings Smart Communities/Cities Internet of Things (IoT) Solar Homes Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) Autonomous Intelligent Control (AIC) Building, Community & Utility Microgrids Distributed Energy Storage H2 Fuel Cell Power Generation Transactive Energy Management Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Electro-active Enhanced Environments
This means market opportunities abound Solar, Fuel Cell and Other Renewable Energy Systems Smart Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Smart Municipal Transportation Systems Internet of Things (IoT) Integration Distributed Energy Resource Systems Artificial Intelligent Controls Building, Community & Utility Microgrids Distributed Energy Storage Systems Transactive Energy Control Systems Electro-active Enhanced Environments Basic Electricity Access Systems

Low Bandwidth High Bandwidth But Smarts can make a power integrator feel dumb Smart Building Communications Protocol Overview Wired Wire, Fiber Optic, Power Line Carrier Wireless Radio Frequency Communications M1-LTE Cellular Networks EC-GSM-IoT Note: These are the major so-called open protocols meaning anyone who is licensed can use them. There are many others that are similar in function but are proprietary and only used by a specific company and/or its selected agents.
The good news is it all needs to be powered!
Smart Homes with Prosumer Microgrids are evolving Includes: Site Based Energy Harvesting/Production Electricity Storage Co-located Loads Appliances, Devices Islandable Point of Common Connection SCADA Communication link
as are Smart Buildings with Enterprise Microgrids Includes: Site based energy harvesting/production Electricity storage Co-located loads equipment, devices Islandable point of common connection SCADA communication link Building Services Power Storage & Control Outdoor Sources Office & Occupied Space Factory or Warehouse Industrial Space Data Center
