ICT Networking
• Everything/Anything over the Internet Protocol (IP) has put pressure on – i) Processing/handling of data
• routers, switches, terminals, servers, software programs/ routines/services.
– ii) Storage of data • memory, buffers, caches, disks.
– iii)Transmission of data • physical and logical transferring and exchange of data.
– iv) Network mobility, security, multihoming and management.

ICT Services
• Major evolution in the way information systems are designed, built and operated.
• Disruptive innovations – Web 2.0, Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).
• New delivery / business models – Cloud Computing, Software as a Service (SaaS),
mobile operating systems, Open Source Software.

Linked Data
• Accessible web content has far outpaced technological progress in retrieving and sharing that information.
• Semantic web is a new way of representing digital content in a form that is more easily machine understandable and interpretable for users is well under way
23 May 2012 OSi Utility Seminar 2012
12
Access Technologies
• New deployments such as LTE (4G) and Fibre to The Home (FTTH) – will offer increased network capacity and
bandwidth to customers, will pave the way for more real-time applications.
• Virtualisation of carrier networks is also on-going and starting to define new business models and new areas of application.
23 May 2012 OSi Utility Seminar 2012
13
Internet of Things
• Ubiquitously connecting intelligent devices and sensors.
• Sensors will become active participants in business, information and social processes.
• Offer new possibilities for contextual and environmental information sensing, processing and analysis.

ICT Security
• Must consider end users interests in trust of the system – including security,
– resilience,
– data protection,
– privacy (the right to be forgotten).

ICT Trends: How does this apply
to the Utilities Sector
How does this apply to the Utilities
Sector
• Smart Energy Grid
• Environment
• Transport- Mobility - Logistics

Future INternet for Smart ENergY
Smart Energy Grid
Implementation
• Distribution Networks
– Demand Response Management, virtual power plants, establishment of micro
grids, reconfiguration of the network, optimisation of power flows and energy
storages
• Regional / Microgrid
– an important and visionary electricity grid scenario to analyse ICT requirements
• Smart Buildings
– significantly differentiate the energy requirements, characteristics and foreseen
solutions
• Electric Mobility
– infrastructure for energy provision and management
• Electronic Market Place for Energy
– define rules, roles and parameters and transaction guidelines that will govern this
ecosystem
Electric Mobility Scenarios
Environment
• Monitoring and control solutions to optimise the Smart City – For waste management, public lighting, water and
gas networks, parking, to name a few.
• Each application involves a complex chain of data, processes and stakeholders, but with a common purpose – to provide end‐to‐end service for the citizen.

Transport- Mobility - Logistics
• Manage transportation systems in more efficient ways, –combating congestion,
–reducing energy consumption and pollution,
–Making the most of multi‐modal solutions.
