  1. RMS Organization

  2. Feasibility • The Issue • Demand for a Solution • Our Solution • Budget • Schedule • Target Market • Competition • Conclusion

  3. The Issue Increasing demand, wasteful usage, and finite resources lead to resource shortages.

  4. Energy Use Per Capita Energy use per capita and per dollar of gross domestic product, 1970-2025(index,1970 = 1)

  5. Energy Consumption by Fuel Energy consumption by fuel, 1970-2025 (quadrillion Btu)

  6. Spot-Checked global electricity consumption source: US Department of Energy

  7. Using energy wisely is no secret. It's simply a matter of awareness, knowledge and planning. –Dominion Virginia Power’s Website Virginia Power also maintains that by being informed and improving efficiency, energy consumption can be reduced by 15%

  8. Demand for a Solution

  9. Energy Production & Consumption Total energy production and consumption, 1970-2025 (quadrillion Btu)

  10. Energy Price Projection Energy price projection, 2001-2025: AEO2002 and AEO2003 Compared (2001 dollars)

  11. RMS Survey Result Number: 12Do you think you are using your resources as efficiently as possible? Yes: 40 of 138No: 98 of 138

  12. Our Solution to the Problem How RMS can increase efficiency and reduce waste

  13. What is RMS? Online tool to bring real-time consumption data to the consumer. Allows for online bill payment, access to current usage data, water/gas leak warnings, and usage statistics Functional Component Diagram

  14. Hardware • Application Server • Database Server • Cisco Router

  15. Software • Red Hat Linux (Latest Version) • Oracle 9i • Apache Web Server • Java Server Pages (JSP)

  16. Other Components Involved

  17. Goal To develop a cost-effective utility monitoring system to enable consumers to make informed decisions in consuming resources more efficiently.

  18. Preliminary Schedule Planning: 3 Months Web design and programming: 3 - 4 Months Database Design and Programming: 3 - 5 Months Hardware & Environment Configuration: 2 - 6 Months Testing and Debugging: 2 - 3 Months

  19. Preliminary Schedule

  20. Budget • Software: • Database and Application Server: Oracle9iAS - $10,000 per processor license • OS: RedHat Enterprise Linux AS $2,499 • SSL Certiticate - $200 • Hardware: • T3 Line - $15,000/month • Cisco PIX Firewall - $32,000 • Cisco Routers - $3,000 to $5,000 ea. • Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch - $2,600 ea. • Servers - $4,000 ea. • RAID Storage - $5,400 ea. • Workstations - $3,000 ea. • Laptop PC’s - $2,500 ea • Labor: • Oracle Certified DBA - $80,000/year • Oracle Developer - $60,000/year • Systems Administrator (RHCE) (CCNA) - $80,000/year • Java Developer/Webmaster - $50,000/year

  21. Preliminary Sizing Calculations • 2 web servers + 2 spares = 4 web servers • 100,000 users x 10% concurrent users = 10,000 users • 10,000 users x 1 database server/500 users = 20 database servers • 20 database servers x 1 raid storage/db server = 20 raid storage • 2 processors/server x 20 servers = 40 processors • 2 NICS / server x 24 servers = 48 network connections. • 48 network connections x 24 / switch = 2 switches + 2 spares = 4 switches

  22. Preliminary Sizing Calculations • Software: • Oracle 9iAS: 40 processors x $10,000/processor = $400,000 • RedHat Enterprise Linux AS = $2,499 • SSL Certificate $200 x 2 = $400 • Software Total = $402,899 • Hardware: • T3 Line $15,000 month x 12 months = $180,000 • Cisco PIX Firewall = $32,000 • Cisco Router = $5,000 • 24 servers x $4,000 = $96,000 • 20 RAID Storage x $5,400 = $108,000 • 4 Gigabit Ethernet Switch x $2,600 = $10,400 • 6 Workstation x $3,000 = $18,000 • 6 Laptops x $2,500 = $15,000 • Hardware Total = $464,400

  23. Preliminary Sizing Calculations • Labor: • 1 Oracle DBA x $80,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $112,000 • 1 Systems Administrator x $80,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $112,000 • 2 Oracle Developers x $60,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $168,000 • 2 Java Developer/Webmaster x $50,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $140,000 • Labor Total = $532,000 • First Year Total Cost = $402,899 + $464,400 + $532,000 = $1,399,299

  24. Funding • Federal: • The Inventions and Innovation (I&I) Program - U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) • Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) Grant Program • The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program - DOE SBIR program fund grants • The STTR Program, created by Title II of the Small Business Research and Development Enhancement Act of 1992 • USDA SBIR Program • National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment, and Economics (NICE³) Grant Programs • State: • Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) Programs • Virginia's Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program

  25. Target Market • RMS will be packaged as a service that utility companies can offer their customers • Multiple utility companies sign up with RMS to consolidate utility data • Risks www.cs.odu.edu/~kimtiaz/cpi/risk.php • Limitations www.cs.odu.edu/~kimtiaz/cpi/goals_obj.php
