Ø  Communications Technology

Ø  Interoperability

Ø  Systems Integration

Ø  Security

Ø  Energy Conservation


Communications Technologies – Overview Northern Europe PLC leading, important share of Wireless (GPRS, RF mesh).

United Kingdom GPRS or other wireless options, due to market structure

Italy, Spain, France: 98% PLC, wireless only to access difficult meter points.

North America Dominance RF PLC in rural areas


Communications Technologies: Experiences

PLC

§  Utilities remain in control, independence from telcos

§  Installation and maintenance of data concentrators, some inbuilt latency

§  Prerequisite is full or territorial rollout

§  Robust and inexpensive

Cellular, GPRS

§  Communications is outsourced, reliance on selected telco

§  Independence from electricity grid, low latency data transfer

§  Dependency from network coverage and signal strength.

§  Robust, typically more expensive (modem, SIM+service)

Hybrid solutions result in best performance: Mass deployment of PLC enhanced with GPRS


Next Generation LV PLC

§  OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) PLC

§  Emerging as the next PLC technology in the NAN area

§  OFDM modulation offers two advantages over current PLC technologies:

§  Higher data speed, using multiple signal carriers in the upper part of the CENELEC A band (36 – 90 KHz). Transmission of up to 100 Kb/s.

§  More robust data transmission

§  Transmission of data through the MV/LV transformer (depending on implementation)

CENELEC A band

3 KHz 63,3 kHz 74 kHz 95KHz Frequency

OFDM PLC: Implementations

PRIME

§  Founding members: Iberdrola, Itron, ZIV, Landis+Gyr, Current, ADD, Texas, STM.

§  12 to 48 carriers from 24 to 94.5 KHz, data rate: 19.2 to 76.8 kb/s.

§  Large scale field trials in Spain in 2010 by Iberdrola. Successful pilot in the Castellion region (100k)

§  In deployment at Iberdrola and other Iberian utilities.

G3

§  Founding members: ERDF, Enexis, Itron, Landis+Gyr, Sagemcom, STM, Texas, Maxim, Trialog, Cisco.

§  36 carriers from 36 KHz to 90.6 KHz, data rate: normal mode 3.3 to 34.2 kb/s.

§  Small scale field trials in France. Expected to be deployed massively by ERDF in phase 2 (2014/15)

§  Secure IPv6 routing, coexistence with incumbent PLC protocols.

Plug-in to better energy management with Gridstream MDUS §  Gridstream MDUS is a smart metering software that integrates seamlessly with

SAP® for Utilities §  Meter Data Unification and Synchronization (MDUS)

§  Gridstream MDUS enables the utility to manage smart metering from SAP for Utilities §  Provides a single point of entry

§  No need to train operators to use multiple systems

§  It is the gateway to all smart metering systems

§  Realizes smart metering benefits in your §  Billing processes

§  Contract management

§  Customer service: invoice claims, disablement and enablement of supply, troubleshooting





Ø  Security



Data Security in Smart Metering Networks

§  Security and Privacy was always a priority of Suppliers in the Smart Metering Value Chain.

§  Vulnerability Studies recommend a more rigid end to end approach (e.g. Germany)

§  Protection Profile is based on Common Criteria (CC)

§  The CC is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for computer security certification

§  7 Evaluation Assurance Levels

§  Certification of the devices necessary to guarantee the security of the smart metering infrastructure


Data Security, as proposed for Germany

§  Evaluation Assurance Level 4+

§ Requirements (extract)

§  Strict separation of the communication interfaces

§  Secure the infrastructure against threats from the WAN (Firewall functionality)

§  Concealment of the information flow (phantom connections)

§  only the Gateway or devices in the HAN may establish the connection to an external entity

§  connections are allowed to pre-configured addresses only

§  only cryptographically-protected (i.e. encrypted and mutually authenticated) connections are possible

§  Access limitation to authorized parties only





Ø  Security



Energy Conservation

§ Governments around the globe are committed to energy conservation

§  Support the CO2 Emission targets

§  Bridge the anticipated supply gap following exit scenarios from nuclear power (e.g. Germany)

§  Build their economies on renewable energy sources

[20-20-20 targets by EU]
