Why An Energy Control Network?
Smart, Fast Local
Decisions
• Distributed intelligence• Zero latency• Automated: no human
intervention
Relevant Information
• Prevent data deluge:
share results• Open/interoperable:
across every device
and network
Bullet-Proof Reliability
• No single point of
failure: 100% survivable• Harsh environments
Infinite Applications
• Start anywhere• Backward/forward
compatible • Add more apps,
over time• Plant-to-Plug solutions
Orchestrated, managed across multiple networks and devices
NET-NET: Lower cost structure, drive revenue, improve customer experience

The On-going Value of an Integrated Switch Disconnect
Remote disconnect For customer change For rental homes For non-payment
Internal trip for maximum power Control peak loads and defer investments in additional
generating capacity Offer “Lifeline Disconnect” capability Remotely change service offering
Prepay support
13
The On-going Value of Power Quality Measurement
Per customer quality of service (QOS) information Under and over voltage Over-current Maximum and minimum frequency Phase loss
Detailed outage and restoration reporting Total number Duration and time Configurable outage threshold
Meet current and future regulatory standards Save cost through preventative maintenance & transformer optimization Opportunity to differentiate service plans based on QOS
14
Data Concentrators
Automates and manages the low voltage network Detects meter additions,
removals, and tampers Establishes reliable mesh
communications Provides flexible, WAN-
independent modem interface Supports time-shifting of
communications to optimize cost
