1 Becoming the wireless standard for tomorrow s smart grid Tobin Richardson Director, Smart Energy ZigBee Alliance

2 Agenda Discussion of smart grid drivers Role of ZigBee Alliance & Smart Energy Profile Development

3 Drivers for the Smart Grid Achieving Changes in Generation Load Renewables Variability Storage Distributed resources Reduce peaking Energy management Plug in vehicles Reliability and security Source: George Arnold, NIST Improved measurement and control Risk-based methodology Requires Automated management, operation, control 2-way flow of power and information Interoperability at many levels Standards 3

4 Smart Grid Infrastructure Ecosystem Picture courtesy of Grid Net 4

5 Broad Areas of Smart Grid Standardization Devices used in the Smart Grid Physical Interfaces Information and data structures Communications

6 Some Groups engaged in Smart Grid Standards European Standards Organizations - CEN, CENELEC, ETSI Global Organizations- ITU, IEC, ISO/IEC JTC1 MIIT, CAS in China METI, MIC, ARIB in Japan IEEE: P2030 Smartgrid Guide and IEEE g Smart Utility Networks and a whole host of other activities IETF Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) on plug-in vehicle communications and the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) for White Goods UCA OpenSG Industry Alliances like ZigBee

7 Technology Alliances Establish interoperability marks against specific standards for ZigBee, IEEE Provide testing and certification programs against standards Help drive market adoption through marketing and promotion

8 Customer Benefits of Standards Interoperability of devices Lower cost devices Choice of vendors, solutions, benefits Time to market (benefit for mfgrs also)

9 ZigBee Alliance Overview Organized as an independent, neutral, nonprofit corporation in 2002 for WSN Standards Development Result: ZigBee enables the Internet of Things and--- it is happening now not tomorrow Open and global-- ~ 400 companies worldwide Activities include: Open Standards for wireless sensor and control Product Certification and compliance programs Branding, market development and user education Only Standard which meets key network requirements for an IoT Self organizing, self configuring, self healing mesh networks, low cost, low energy consumption, scalable to very large sizes, high levels of security, based on open global standards

10 Requirements for HANs Gas Meter Electric Meter Water Meter Utility Utility AMI AMI Network Network ZigBee HAN Energy Gateway Lighting Controls Tstat HVAC System Smart Appliances Home Automation System Retail products Competitive market/ No vendor lock-in Low cost Solutions for the Global Market Large pool of people who understand the technology High levels of security

11 ZigBee Smart Energy Profile Supported Features Include: Basic metering [measurements, historical info, etc] Demand Response (DR) and Load Control Pricing [multiple units & currencies, price tiers, etc.] Text messages Device support for Programmable Communicating Thermostats (PCTs), Load Controllers, Energy Management Systems, In Home Displays (IHDs), etc. Security to allow consumer only, utility only, or shared networks Support for water and gas

12 Goal is HAN Side Energy Management Optimize Energy Consumption Avoid load peaks Through Customer settings Time of Use pricing Green Energy availability Extra Home Automation Services Enabled: Remote Control Remote Assistance Appliance customization Cycle downloads Configuration Upgrades

13 Where does ZigBee Fit? Programmable Communicating Thermostats respond to pricing signals and grid disturbances Rooftop Solar provides renewable energy coincident with peak demand Fixed Electricity Storage Batteries stores off-peak power to use during peak periods and backs up Smart Appliances Respond to grid disturbances and shifts consumption during peak demand periods Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles draw energy from its roaming plug-in location. It can store energy for utility use. Source: wsj.com 13

14 Energy Awareness Drives Behavior

15 Source: Reliant Energy Achieving Consumer Participation is Key

16 Ecosystem of Stakeholders Utilities and Retail Energy Providers Government and Regulators Outreach to other standards & requirements bodies such as OpenHAN (within UCAIug) Security Experts internal & external AMI and Meter Vendors Demand Response and Load Control Vendors White Goods Vendors Thermostats Displays Smart Appliances System Integrators Semiconductor Manufacturers

17 ZigBee Smart Energy Certified Products

18 ZigBee Smart Energy Deployments Tens of millions ZigBee electric meters being deployed by utilities 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

19 AHAM Communications Study This technical assessment finds that these application protocols, and the media capable of delivering them, are the best performing protocols for Smart Grid targeted applications for a consumer audience. October 2010

20 Next steps for ZigBee Smart Energy Public Application Profile ZigBee Smart Energy Profile 2.0 Development IP stack Smart Energy Profile clearly described in UML Objects derived from IEC CIM (61968) and Web services Standards Selection (IETF, etc.) SDO feedback Well-defined end-to-end architecture Continuing momentum 2.0 Schedule & Milestones Continued Stack test events into Q Stack certification events in Q Application protocol testing to proceed in parallel Once stack testing is completed we can move into product testing and certification Later in 2011 expect products to be ready

21 External Influences US NIST and SGIP NAESB IEC OpenSG EU (ESMIG, OFGEM, etc.) AU (WSAA, etc.) SAE SGIP F2F 2011, Nashville, TN

22 Smart Energy Key Dates & Activities Public comments on SEP 2.0 AppSpec APRIL 26 th! Texas implementation of ZSE and consumer adoption devices in market (ongoing) UK, Australia, other implementation of ZSE Pilots and tests with ZSE U.S. and globally ZSE 2.0 completion in 2011 ongoing public comment, specification refinement & interoperability testing Adoption and ratification of ZigBee and SE specifications by sister SDOs ongoing Member meetings 3x/year Seattle/Wuxi/Barcelona
