  1. Sensus Lighting Control A Smart Grid Solution for Energy EfficiencyandDemand Response National Town Meeting on Demand Response + Smart Grid July 11, 2013 Charlie Nobles – Marketing Manager, Lighting Solutions

  2. Sensus - Our Global Vision The leading provider of innovative technology solutions that enable intelligent use and conservation of critical water and energy resources

  3. What We Offer • Smart Grid Communications Networks • Smart Meters • Advanced Metrology • Distribution Automation • Demand Response • Home Area Networks • Smart Outdoor Lighting • Managed Services • Software Peak shaving, event-based load control Energy efficiency and DR

  4. The Intersection of DR and Controlled Streetlighting • Up to 40% of a city’s energy load can be attributed to streetlights • Streetlights comprise 6% of NYC DOT energy usage • Winter peaking locales can see 30 to 60 minutes of early morning overlap • Distribution system based events can have 100% overlap in evenings • Networked lights have programmed on/off and dimming control • User interface supports ‘brown-out’ functions • AMI networks can provide both traditional DR control and networked streetlighting control

  5. The Street Lighting Market • 45M low efficiency street lights in the US to be replaced • Only 3.6% of these have been replaced with ‘passive’ LED lights • <1% of existing street lights have any Controls • Many owned/serviced by utilities and billed on flat rate tariffs • Over 14M low efficiency parking lot lights

  6. The Street Lighting Market Tension • Old Tariff structures • Tension between Utilities and municipalities • Dropping costs of LED technologies • Move toward “passive” LED • All Networked Lighting systems are single application network offerings • Who Owns the streetlights?

  7. Overlap of Lighting and Load Sunrise 7:51 am Typical PE on/off times Sunset 4:44 pm 4:25 pm 8:15 am Twilight 7:17 am Twilight 5:18 pm Programmed ramp up Lights ON Programmed ramp down Lights ON Typical Load Curve for Dual Peaking Utilities Actual twilight and sunrise/sunset times for Portland, Oregon on Jan 8, 2013 Source: “What a Clean Energy Future Looks Like – An Absolute Nightmare”, PA Pundits International March 2011

  8. Networked Street Lighting as a DR application The Climate Group, June 2012 www.cleanrevolution.org Issue: Who Controls the Streetlights? How can the Streetlights be Dispatched?

  9. “Smart Grid” or “Smarter City”? • Demand Response applications typically reside in Smart Grid AMI Solutions • Streetlighting Control applications are typically in special purpose networks

  10. FlexNet Solutions Platform

  11. Sensus Lighting Control - Overview CREE XSP lighting fixture • Integrated Smart Grid Services Platform • Outage detection and alarm notification • Remote turn-on / turn-off / scheduling over FlexNet network • On-board ANSI C12.20 metrology for accurate energy measurement Replace inefficient HPS, Metal Halide, or Mercury lamp technology with new FlexNet enabled LED fixtures. Simple field replacement on existing pole arm for street, roadway, and area lighting. GGL Acorn decorative lighting fixture CREE LEDway lighting fixture SLC Remote Control Based on Needs • Utilization of sunrise / sunset tables for turn-on and turn-off • Reduce energy consumption via programmable dimming control • Demand based delay can help prevent brownouts during peak intervals • Custom groupings of lights can quickly and easily be selected and programmed for emergencies and events, e. g., light enhancement and flashing for increased security Hosted application in the ‘Cloud’ GIS mapping and light asset tracking Multi-tenant application interface

  12. SLC – Customer Response • Deployment underway for replacement of 27,000 street lightings by Fall 2013. • Noted improvement in public park safety and reduction of crime during the Pilot • Estimated annual savings of $2.7M on total annual cost of street light program – Chattanooga Office of Sustainability • Features for Brownout and Peak Demand offsetting • University of Alabama field trial and commitment to replace 3500 campus lights over 2 years • Key driver of cost savings coupled with campus safety and lighting control as part of the school safety response program • 200+ smart electric meters provisioned as well

  13. Summary • With Energy Efficient LED street lighting, with Control, you have the promise of a clear energy efficiency program that has scale, is aggregated, can be dispatched remotely, and can be integrated with other Smart Energy applications on One Network. Energy Efficiency and Dispatched Load Control Thank You!
