EUROPE commitments on energy efficiency with 20% targets by 2020 USA Stimulus Package allocating more than 4$ Billion for Smart Grids CHINA State Power Grid Corp new plans to build a “Strong & Smart Grid” by 2020 … but…. (cid:190) Real deployments may require different smart grid technologies depending on local regulations and specific application needs and strategies (cid:190) Long term investments are required to build large scale Smart Grids … so…. Flexible, reliable, field-proven, cost-effective and future-proof technology solutions are mandatory for Smart Grids success 4 ITALY pioneering Smart Grids World Wide providing enabler technology (cid:190)Started in 2001, ENEL Telegestore is today the largest ever AMM (Automated Metering Infrastructure) deployment worldwide involving more than 30 Million customers in Italy with 2.1B€ investment recovered in 4.5 years payback. (cid:190)The meter for “Telegestore Project” today embeds a complete set of semiconductor components from STMicroelectronics (Power Line Modem, Microprocessor, HV protections, memories, power management, …) (cid:190)The key element of the smart Metering evolution, in the heart of Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) project , is the Power Line Communication Modem technology able to transmit data through he Power Line network (cid:190)The ST7538 Power Line Communication Transceiver IC is totally designed, developed and produced in Italy by STMicroelectronics Today Italian Utilities as ENEL, A2A, AEM, ACEA have deployed AMR/AMM systems based on ST Power Line Communication technologies (cid:190)A complete kit of semiconductor components and new 28 kbit/s technology generation Modem, STarGRID by STMicroelectronics, developed, designed and produced in Italy, has been chosen by ENEL group to provide the new Advanced Meter Management system (cid:190)It will be used by ENDESA in 2010 to install more than 13 Million smart electronic meters in Spain with improved robustness and security (cid:190)This new solution will use the ENEL Power Line Communication protocol stack, named SITRED, which is going to be open to the market, so making it available for all the stakeholders who want to adopt a reliable and proven system on more than 50 million meters worldwide. 5 SSTT ssoolluuttiioonnss ffoorr SSmmaarrtt GGrriiddss (cid:131)Energy Meters (cid:131)HAN for Home Automation (cid:131)Connectivity solutions for energy & control data transmission (cid:131)Outdoor Smart Grid (Photovoltaic, Plug-in Electrical Vehicle, Street Lighting) •• SSmmaarrtt ggrriidd ddeelliivveerrss ssmmaarrtt eenneerrggyy ffrroomm ssuupppplliieerrss ttoo ccoonnssuummeerrss uussiinngg ddiiggiittaall tteecchhnnoollooggyy ttoo ccoonnttrrooll aapppplliiaanncceess aatt ccoonnssuummeerr''ss hhoommeess ttoo ssaavvee eenneerrggyy,, rreedduuccee ccoosstt aanndd iinnccrreeaassee rreelliiaabbiilliittyy aanndd ttrraannssppaarreennccyy.. 6 Energy Meters from Low-end to High-end by functions by features Low • kWH measures End • LCD Display Meter • Storage Calibration Data ++ POWER: Standard Functions: COMMUNICATIONS • Anti Tamper DC for electronics & Overall housekeep and Communication protocols. battery tamper monitor.
