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


Rooftop Solarprovides renewable

energy coincident with peak demand

Programmable Communicating Thermostats

respond to pricing signals and grid disturbances

Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles draw energy from its roaming plug-in location. It can store

energy for utility use.

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

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 EnergyRoadmap

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 othersEstablish 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 respectedPublicly 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

Demonstrated a smart grid dryer at the January 2010 CES show in Las Vegas as part of a smart energy demonstration with demand response events

GE First to Use ZigBee®Protocols for Smart Appliances


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


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

: Value beyond AMR


The Home and Beyondfrom a Telecom perspective

Handset is the hub of interaction with the Internet of Things
