4 Smart Grid Applications Scenario Smart Grid technology enablers: Energy sensors + pervasive connectivity Massive Smart grid roll-outs must be reliable, costeffective and future-proof to ensure an adequate ROI Power Line Communication (PLC) is the most suitable technology for Smart Grids, by providing the needed ubiquity and low cost of ownership 4

5 1 st Technology Challenge: Standards fragmentation Need for a flexible / programmable technology platform to address multiple and evolving standards worldwide 5

6 2 nd Technology Challenge: integration vs modularity trade-off Need for platform high scalability A Smart Grid infrastructure is made by multiple smart nodes: Data Concentrators Smart Meters User Interface Units Smart s.. Different Smart Grid nodes may require different system partitioning: High system integration when low BOM cost and/or small system size needed; High system modularity when multiconnectivity or interchangeable communication modules needed 6
