The legacy challenge
Many of the assets in place then are still in place now! 4
The energy trilemma….translating the need
Involving customers
in the solutions
Developing energy sources
Reducing/smartening demand
Matching sources and demand
Helping network
infrastructure cope
• Efficiency
• Extend asset life
• Reduce cost of
operation and renewal
Affordable
SecureLow carbon
The energy trilemma
80% CO2 reduction by 2050
5
But – it will be an increasingly complex environment
Ten years ago
• We never thought about energy
• Energy was cheap & CO2 didn’t matter
• One size fits all solutions
Ten years from now
• Something we will all have to think about and manage
• Efficient solutions essential (= usually green)
• Very complex mix of solutions and systems
6
A challenge – the GB energy industry structure

Generation companies
Supply companies
Transmission companies
Distribution companies
Characteristics
• Fully privatised & regulated (Ofgem)
• Separate licenses for each role
• Fixed geography for Transmission & Distribution
• No fixed geography for suppliers
Challenges
• Only the supply company has a commercial relationship with the customer
• Complicated value chain challenges
7
The customer is now extremely important
• Growth in technologies that affect them• Smart meters
• Heat pumps
• Electrification of transport
• Customers wanting more information and more control
• Growing Community interest in energy solutions
The customer is an essential part of the solution
Therefore…..HAVE to keep solutions• customer centric
• simple (IN THE CUSTOMERS EYES!)
• demonstrate clear value

Heat
50% of the heat we generate is wasted• At source (e.g. energy generation)• Industrial• Residential (25% of UK energy consumption)• Transport
Opportunities• Heat saving• Heat re-use locally• Heat conversion and storage• More efficient means of generating, sourcing, distributing or controlling heat
DECC/CSE heat maps maps
22
Cold – recent Carbon Trust report
• Cooling consumes 15% of UK electricity
• By 2030 global power demand for cooling could grow by the equivalent of three times the current electricity capacity of the UK
• Data centres, superconductors, medicine, industry, ‘cold food chain’, vehicles
• UK transport cooling costs £5Bn/annum
• Significant amounts of cold wasted
• e.g. re-gasification of LNG at import terminals – equates to the cost of the gas!
• Potential to create 10,000 new jobs by 2025

The Challenges ?
• Today's transport – the natural choice for everyone - will become tomorrow’s headache!
• The shear scale of demand for transport is leading the UK & NI to grid lock
• Scale of growth is truly astonishing, 35% increase by 2035. With land at a premium, we cannot keep building new infrastructure
• Limited network capacity to sustain growth
• Societal Challenges : Climate change, globalization, the ageing population, migration, security
• Transport is essential in every aspect of our daily lives, supporting the economy, lifestyle and our well being
Lots of associated names
– Integrated Transport
– Intelligent Transport Systems
– Connected Mobility
– Intelligent Mobility
But
– We now have the technology
– We have the Government’s ear
– We have funding
– We have the appetite from problem owners
– We have an appetite from travellers who want a solution
– We have the expertise in the UK & NI
It has not been solved yet as is very complex.
No one has taken the initiative, had the ability to join all elements together, or had a
compelling business case
The Opportunity ?
The approach
• How to move people & goods more efficiently
• How we connect, what to connect, long term targets, new services and business models – Systems thinking and approach
• Align Policy with technologies, public procurement, increase competitiveness, quality of services – provided by UK & NI companies:
• Challenge-Led
• Mission : to position UK industry as a global leader in innovation in Connected Transport
Mission Statement ?
• To improve efficiency of the transport network in the UK & NI, creating an integrated intelligent connected system that utalises the existing infrastructure, with a system engineering approach to integrate enabling technologies, meeting the customer business requirements alleviating the sociatile challenges?
• Transport networks
• Connecting systems
• Existing infrastructure
• Alternative fuels infrastructure
• Systems engineering
• Identify enabling technologies – Autonomy, sensors etc
• Understand what customers / society and business want / will react.
So what’s the starting point

Eddington Transport Study 2006 concluded that
• There is clear evidence that a comprehensive and high-performing transport system is an important enabler of sustained economic prosperity....
• Transport cannot of itself create growth: it is an enabler that can improve productivity when other conditions are right

Urban living in Future Cities
Construction of Buildings
Horizon 2020
Improvement of Buildings
Building Performance
Key ThemesThere are five high priorities – each with a lead specialist
Urban Living in Future CitiesThis is about design for a healthy life
Construction of BuildingsHow do we make the build process flow better?
Horizon 2020We are an island but there are overseas markets and funding to be had
Improvement of BuildingsExisting stock could be made more sustainable
Building PerformanceTo improve building design we need to measure how they perform
Cities need connectivityInfrastructure is essential for citizens to live in high densities
Health is a key opportunity for
innovation
Rails and roads unpopular to
build; essential to live
Energy affordable but
more important always there
Better infrastructure; lower capital
and operational cost
Connected Infrastructure is:The nervous system
Some claim that all
other utilities and
services depend on
telecommunications
Others that energy is
the key utility
But it is clear that
transport relies on
both.
But for others it’s less
clear.

Building Information ManagementA wealth of data for the malevolent amongst us
In the digitalised construction world Building Information Management offers major benefits in cost reduction and speed of delivery.
It also puts a great deal of sensitive information in an accessible place.
SoftwareAn assumption that it needs frequent updating – is there a better way?
It’s not just railways but many
building management systems
that rely on out of date and
obsolete software
Is this a reassuring message to see?
Did you get here by train today?
How do we manage our vital systems cost effectively as technology develops?
BYODBring Your Own Device – Bring Your Own Danger
In a perfect world, IT would maintain full control of every computing device on the network. Then you’d have to worry only about cyber attacks originating from outside the network.
But with the explosion of mobile computing, compromised devices are regularly hand-carried right through the office front door on laptops, tablets, and now smartphones.
Better advanced threat protection solutions monitor outbound traffic looking for connections to blacklisted IP addresses and URLs, which are likely tied to malware.
Inconvenience and costlyAn alternative to ‘leaves on the line’
Direct threat to lifeSwitch off your phone in hospitals – maybe in public too
The Cloud – the future or open door?With all that we fear for our in-house networks should we rush towards the cloud?
