  1. UL and The Smart Grid January 25, 2012 Derek Greenauer Global Government Affairs Manager UL LLC Derek.Greenauer@ul.com

  2. WE ARE A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD • At UL, our mission of working for a safer world since 1894 is at the core of everything we do. • Advancing safety through careful research and investigation • Preventing or reducing loss of life and property • Promoting safe living and working environments for all people

  3. DELIVERING UNMATCHED EXPERTISE & THOUGHT LEADERSHIP • From the adoption of electricity to the advent of wireless interoperability, UL is the leading voice for global safety. Our deep knowledge and expertise make us invaluable in: • Developing standards • Creating codes • Researching safety breakthroughs • Helping customers design, produce, package and sell safer products

  4. WE PROVIDE GLOBAL MARKET ACCEPTANCE Our Marks are on more than 23 billion products worldwide, per year, signalingpeace of mind to consumers, customers, businesses and governments.

  5. AND HELP YOU NAVIGATE GLOBAL TRADE • UL helps you navigate: • Complex country compliance issues • Regulatory and trade challenges • Marketplace demands • Supply chain management

  6. THE DEFINITION OF SAFETY IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING • Safety is evolving. Complex issues of today have replaced concerns of the past. And the safety landscape of tomorrow is yet to be defined. • Chemicals • Food and water • Infrastructure • Initial adoption of electricity • Medical devices • Nanotechnology • New sustainability breakthroughs • Renewable energy • Wireless integration

  7. Smart Grid domain architecture – products Transmission & Distribution Industrial/ Consumer Generation Meter Factory/ Building Automation, HEMS, EV • Transformers • Insulators • Disconnect Switches • Switchgear • Power conversion equipment • Substation equipment • Large Wind • Photovoltaic • Energy Storage • Invertors • Small Wind • Meters • Smart Enabled Appliances • Plug-In Electric Vehicles

  8. Smart Grid offers demand side management and load leveling opportunities • Smart Grid benefits • Allows the usage of power more efficiently, reducing GHG emissions and increasing reliability of electricity service. • Enables load leveling of electricity supply and demand, so that more variable, renewable energy can be added to the grid. • Empowers consumers, enabling them to exercise more control over their use of electricity Electricity supplier Electricity consumer Charge decision Home and Industrial Automation Intelligent grid Demand analysis Vehicle to grid Creates a new world of automated and control based device components and systems that are needed to support a more efficiently functioning grid

  9. Smart Grid Concerns Include Communications Protocol Fire & Electrical Safety Communication Protocols Software Cyber Security Functional Safety Interoperability

  10. Changes in network monitoring and control systems requires evaluation of new features but also raises safety and security concerns Do I interfere with other devices? Can I connect? Can I be hacked? Do I respond correctly to right input Can I work with others? Is the data collected private?

  11. Global Opportunities The worldwide smart grid market will grow from $20B USD in revenue in 2010 to $100B USD by 2030.4

  12. Industry needs to define opportunity and alleviate customer concerns • Customer concerned with new-legacy equipment compatibility and increased costs • End users expect device to operate within a system and struggle with evolving cyber-threats “Consumer perceptions may be at odds with the smart grid value proposition as portrayed by the utilities. Consumers are also concerned about data privacy”1 “…for utilities, there are still barriers we need to overcome. Several examples include the need to change consumer behavior, ensure cost-effectiveness, overcome financial constraints and perceived grid complexity, and maintain grid reliability and cyber security. Policies, legislation, regulations and international technical standards are still being formulated and are continuously-evolving.”2 We believe standards are the only path to interoperability. We believe that by standardizing as many architecture layers as possible, we'll get economies of scale and higher-quality products. “Without proper testing and certification, using an agreed-upon set of criteria, you can't trust that devices are actually interoperable,”3 • Christina Haddad; “Smart grid engagement: what customers expect” Smart Grid News.com; Nov. 22, 2011; http://www.smartgridnews.com/artman/publish/Business_Business_Case/Smart-grid-consumer-engagement-what-customers-expect-4256.htm • Matt Gilmore –Consumers Energy (Smart Grid Today October 2011) • “MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority delivers keynote speech at Smart Grids Conference” AMEInfo.com; Nov. 22, 2011; http://www.ameinfo.com/281941.html?n=industry_Energy,%20oil%20and%20gas

  13. Industrial Cyber Security • As industrial control systems rely more on computer and network systems to monitor and control processes, security problems can be passed on to industrial processes, putting production and human safety at risk. Cyber-attacks can damage or shut down critical infrastructure such as the electric power grid, water treatment plants and oil and gas pipelines. • Examples: • In July 2010, Stuxnet virus infiltrated an Iranian nuclear facility and changed the rotational speed of the motors that a Siemens PLCs controlled, allegedly setting Iran back 2-3 years from developing a nuclear weapon. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2qd6xXbySk&feature=player_detailpage
