Introducing Echelon Market Maker Global Innovator Field Proven Passionate Customers 20 years 97 patents 100M smart devices >1,000 customers First Energy Control Network HQ Silicon Valley “Plant-to-Plug” solutions Commercial, Utilities Echelon Energy Control Network: delivering the open, intelligent, distributed control necessary to realize the $50B+ Smart Grid future 2

  3. A Fundamental Shift Is Underway • YESTERDAY: • Single source, local • Steady-state • Captive consumer • Ubiquitous, cheap • Single business model • TODAY: • Distributed energy sources, global • Erratic demand • Consumer choice and participation • Key GDP component, price pressure • New business models

  4. The Answer: Push Control to the EdgeEnergy Control Network “Push Control to the Edge” Process High Data Volumes, Share Relevant Information Eliminate Failure: Sense and Respond, Drive 100% Reliability Local, Real-Time, Autonomous Decisions Make it Easy to Add Applications, Over Time 4

  5. Why An Energy Control Network? NET-NET:Lower cost structure, drive revenue, improve customer experience Smart, Fast Local Decisions Relevant Information Bullet-Proof Reliability Infinite Applications • Start anywhere • Backward/forward compatible • Add more apps, • over time • Plant-to-Plug solutions • No single point of failure: 100% survivable • Harsh environments • Prevent data deluge: share results • Open/interoperable: across every device and network • Distributed intelligence • Zero latency • Automated: no human intervention 10111001100011000111001 Orchestrated, managed across multiple networks and devices 5

  6. Echelon Energy Control SystemThree-Tier Architecture 100% Reliable 100% Survivable 0 Latency All Powered by Echelon Energy Control Software

  7. Energy Control Products for Utility Markets System Management & Operating System Software ECoS System Software; Element Manager, Diagnostic, and Provisioning Tools; System Middleware Connectivity & Control Devices Data Concentrators, Edge Control Network Platform Smart Transceivers & Devices Smart Meters, NES Embedded Modules for Smart Devices 7

  8. It’s All Coming TogetherLinz Strom AG Customer Example • • • • • • High ROI Feature-rich Safe choice Reliable and scalable Open standards Scalable ecosystem Residential Demand Response Smart Metering Linz Strom AG Data Center Smart Neighborhoods Smart Street Lighting Smart Cities & Streetlights 8

  9. Benefits to Utilities Customer Service CFO Operations CEO • Real-time observability • Give consumers choice and control • Manage across multiple networks and devices • Bullet-proof reliability: 100% available, no single point of failure • Works with existing investments • Reduce fraud and tampering 10-20% • Reduce field headcount with automation and self-healing • Achieve return on investment in 4 years • Cut deployment time in half • Share data across every device and network: open and interoperable • Start anywhere and future proof: add subsystems and applications over time • Increase use of renewable capacity • Embrace and profit from the emergence of smart devices and distributed generation • Cut energy delivery costs 20% by eliminating “peaker plants” • Deliver a superior customer experience by giving customers choice and participation

  10. Example of Smart Meter Architecture ElementManager Networked Energy Services

  11. Smart Meters Meters • Detailed electrical measurements • Active and reactive energy • Import and export metering • Flexible time of use metering • Extended information & alarms • Multi-channel data recorder • Power quality data and alarms • Tamper and theft detection • Connectivity to other meters and devices • Built-in disconnect • On/off • Load limiting/service upgrade to any level • Prepay • Remote firmware download support

  12. The On-going Value of an Integrated Switch Disconnect • Remote disconnect • For customer change • For rental homes • For non-payment • Internal trip for maximum power • Control peak loads and defer investments in additional generating capacity • Offer “Lifeline Disconnect” capability • Remotely change service offering • Prepay support

  13. The On-going Value of Power Quality Measurement • Per customer quality of service (QOS) information • Under and over voltage • Over-current • Maximum and minimum frequency • Phase loss • Detailed outage and restoration reporting • Total number • Duration and time • Configurable outage threshold • Meet current and future regulatory standards • Save cost through preventative maintenance & transformer optimization • Opportunity to differentiate service plans based on QOS

  14. Data Concentrators • Automates and manages the low voltage network • Detects meter additions, removals, and tampers • Establishes reliable mesh communications • Provides flexible, WAN-independent modem interface • Supports time-shifting of communications to optimize cost

  15. Duke Energy, USA • Duke is one of the largest electric power companies in the United States, supplying and delivering energy to approximately 4 million U.S. customers. • Duke has approximately 35,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity. • Duke’s commercial and international businesses own and operate diverse power generation assets in North America and Latin America. • Duke Energy is a Fortune 500 company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DUK.

  16. Benefits of using NES Power Line • 100% GIS Accuracy • GIS data wrong • Constant indexing of transformer and meter • GPS coordinates • Transformer Efficiency • Optimize load and phase balance • Predictive Fault Detection • The PLC signal amplitude indicates weakness and fault

  17. Duke Energy – Utility of the Future

  18. Check Metering Energy Theft • Transformer meter to managed meter comparison

  19. BG Vattenfall Nordic (Sweden, Finland, Denmark) • Operations in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and Poland BG Vattenfall Europe (Germany) BG Vattenfall Poland Case studyVattenfall Group in brief • Europe’s fourth largest generator of electricity and the largest generator of heat • Vision: To be a leading European energy company • Electricity generation, transmission, distribution, sales and trading • Heat generation, distribution and sales • More than 32,000 employees • Turn-over 13,697 MEUR • Vattenfall AB is wholly owned by the Swedish State
