Growing Demand
for ZigBee Smart Energy
ZigBee Smart Energy is the standard of choice
for Energy Management and Smart Metering
ZigBee Smart Energy is bridging the gap
between the power grid today & the Smart Grid
of tomorrow
– Using ZigBee Smart Energy today can improve in
building energy efficiency, comfort and convenience
all at the same time even without a smartgrid or smart
meter
– Households with digital tools controlling temperature
and price preferences saved on average 10% on utility
bills
ZigBee Smart Energy is an essential element in
managing micro/distributed generation, energy
storage and electric vehicles


ZigBee Smart Energy
Deployments
40+ million ZigBee electric meters being deployed
by over 11 utility companies in the USA
– Major deployments in California, Texas,
Michigan & Virginia
– An additional 40 million meters (from utility
RFPs) in the USA are in various stages of
business case development and rate approval
with local regulatory bodies
State of Victoria in Australia upgrading all its
meters
British Gas selected Smart Energy for its multi-
million meter roll out and will start deployment
shortly


ZigBee Smart Energy
Roadmap
Enhanced Network/Communications options
– Integration with ZigBee IP stack
– Support for multiple communications protocols
– Exploits the benefits of wireless and wired
Support for Forward-Thinking Developments
(EVs, Distributed Generation, Energy Storage, etc.)
Support for regional needs
Working closely with ESMIG, IEC, EPRI,
AHAM, SAE, Wi-Fi, HomePlug and others
Establish liaison with CENELEC & ETSI
Other Improvements based
on continuing feedback
and Market needs


ZigBee Smart Energy
Certified Products


White Goods Implementation

AHAM study, published December 2009 (link below)
Energy pricing will be the key driver in engaging
customers in the smart grid; open standards must be
used, and consumer privacy must be respected
Publicly announced moves in the past several months
have shown white goods manufacturers are seeing
this as a market opportunity worth investing in
Other major consumer-electronics companies
following suit (joining ZigBee Alliance, certifying
products, etc.)

““The ZigBee Smart Energy Profile is emerging to be
an important protocol for smart grid
communication.”” –– Kevin Nolan, VP Technology for
GE Appliances & Lighting
GE First to Use ZigBee®
Demonstrated a smart grid Protocols for Smart Appliances

CES show in Las Vegas as
part of a smart energy
demonstration with demand
response events


Committed to all appliances connected to the grid
by end of 2011

"By 2015, Whirlpool Corporation will make all the
electronically controlled appliances it produces,
everywhere in the world, capable of receiving and
responding to signals from smart grids,"
-- Bracken Darrell,
Executive VP of Whirlpool Corporation


Indesit Company and Freescale
Semiconductor have collaborated to
produce a smart washer that uses a
Freescale ZigBee node, allowing it to
adjust its cycle starting time
according to the variable energy
cost, accessing information from the
local power utility via a ZigBee
enabled Internet connection to the
Smart Grid. The Indesit Company is
a leading European manufacturer
and distributor of major domestic
appliances.

Facts and Figures

260,000 Meters (electrical) installed
Approximately 8000 Concentrators
Expected to use 7000 repeaters……17 actually used
9 jumps identified, can do 18, have set limit to 10
Infrastructure built to handle 1,1 million meters
3000 GPRS meters
>99% meters on network within 24 hours
Remote disconnect in use
Planning to add district heating, gas and water
metering in our infrastructure


:
Value beyond AMR
Immediate Focus:
– Power Quality and Failure alarms
• Establish a Smart Grid foundation
– Multimetering –– Gas, District Heating, Water
– Advanced Meter Management
- implementation of processes
New Services (among others)
– Individual metering
(heat, water)
– Security Alarm
– ZigBee locks
– Control of street lamps


The Home and Beyond
from a Telecom perspective
Handset is the hub of interaction with the Internet of Things
