The Next Big Thing
What is the Next Big Thing? – Dreaming…
• Wearable tech?
• 3D printing?
• Space travel?
• Low energy transmissions?
• Mobile payments?
• Security, health, comfort, entertainment
• Uncomplicated, integrated digital world
• Reliable, affordable, ‘clean’ electricity where and when you need it
• Home, car & office working together to support work, leisure and social needs
• Logical stuff just happens around me
What is the Next Big Thing(s)? – We’re Begging for?
Beggars are fast becoming choosers…

Smart Building Communications Protocol Overview
Note: These are the major so-called “open” protocols – meaning anyone who is licensed can use them. There are many others that are similar in function but are proprietary and only used by a specific company and/or its selected agents.
Cellular Networks
EC-GSM-IoT
M1-LTE
But ‘Smarts’ can make a power integrator feel dumb…
Includes:• Site Based Energy Harvesting/Production
• Electricity Storage
• Co-located Loads – Appliances, Devices
• Islandable Point of Common Connection
• SCADA Communication link
Smart Homes with Prosumer Microgrids are evolving…

Key things to watch for:
• Power things:o Greater use of direct current – digital, non-synchronouso Hybrid Microgrids (AC/DC) – multi source & load deviceso Continued increase in power electronics performanceo Increasing diversity of equipment choices based on particular
use cases – i.e. H2 Fuel Cells, energy scavenging/harvestingo Standardization of interfaces for interoperability
o Communication things:o Streamlining of communication protocols, i.e. Dot:Doto Increased use of open protocols for improved interoperability
o All things: o Increasing focus on integrated Smart Citieso Pressure from new millennials for Smart buildings/carso Monetization of the value of ‘Smartness and Resiliency’
