Drivers of change Exploding populations, urbanization, globalization and technology are driving change. This creates unique challenges and opportunities for transportation providers.

It took all of history for human

population to reach 2 billion, and only

one generation to more than triple to

nearly 7 billion.

2 billion / 7 billion

2

In 2011 there are 476 urban areas with at

least 1 million people. That’s an increase of

573% from 1950 when there were 83. Over

half the world’s population now lives in

urban areas.

476 cities over 1 million

Water

Municipalities lose as much as 20% of their

water through leaks.

A blackout in the Northeast of the US affected over 55

million people.

Transport Energy

Aging infrastructure requires city action

A major traffic jam in China caused gridlock for 60 miles

and lasted ten days

A mandate for change is a mandate for smart.

INSTRUMENTED

We now have the ability to measure, sense

and see the exact condition of everything.

Today, there are 1 billion transistors for each

person on the planet.

In 2011, 30 billion RFID tags have been

embedded into our world and across entire

ecosystems.

Everything will become instrumented:

supply chains, healthcare networks,

cities and even natural systems like rivers.


IBM Italia S.p.A.

INTERCONNECTED

People, systems and objects can

communicate and interact with each

other in entirely new ways.

The internet of people is 1 billion strong.

Almost one third of the world’s population will

be on the web by 2011.

4% of Telco clients generates 70% of traffic

The Internet of Things — cars, appliances,

cameras, roadways, pipeline, pharmaceuticals

and even livestock—is headed to 1 trillion.


IBM Italia S.p.A.

INTELLIGENT

New computing models manage the

massive amounts of data generated by the

proliferation of end-user devices, sensors, and

actuators.

Every day, 15 petabytes of new information are being

generated. This is 8x more than the information in all U.S.

libraries.

We can respond to changes quickly and accurately,

and get better results by predicting and optimizing

for future events.

Using advanced analytics, we can generate new info by the

correlation of structured (i.e. data bases) and unstructured (i.e.

social networks) data

Predictive Information can address dynamic process modelling

and adaptation

Every natural system and man-made system

is becoming interconnected, instrumented and intelligent.

What does it mean to become Smarter for a utility grid?


IBM Italia S.p.A.

Better information flow is critical for better water flow

“One barrier to better management of water resources is simply lack of data — where the water is, where it's going, how much is being used and for what purposes, how much might be saved by doing things differently. In this way, the water problem is largely an information problem. The information we can assemble has a huge bearing on how we cope with a world at peak water.” Source: Wired Magazine, “Peak Water: Aquifers and Rivers Are Running Dry. How Three Regions Are Coping”, Matthew Power, April 21st, 2008

Statistical pipe burst/leakage prediction modeling

14 IBM Confidential

Countries invest 5-20% of the total energy to produce quality

water (from pumping to desalination) and water leakage due to

pipe bursting is a waste of water and energy. 15%-30% of water

is lost due to leakage and there is an average of 900 leakage

bursts per year in large cities

End User Value:

Prediction of Pipe Burst/Leakage will help save

water and energy.

Utility value:

Improved Maintenance

Improves Customer Satisfaction

Reduces Overall Maintenance Costs

Reduces Operational Costs

Can be used for all Pipe Solutions (Water, Oil, Gas,

etc.)

Results:

Reduced leakage and energy demands results in a

lower cost solution for the supplier and customer.

Smarter City Analytics – Smart Water: Influence consumption through insights, incentives & engagement

End User Value:

review consumption and understand trends

get alerted about animalies and potential leaks

compare consumptions with similar households

Utility and City value

monitoring of aggregate consumptions

monitoring spatial and temporal anomalies/changes and locate

wastage

demand forecasts and evaluate usage for pricing policies

cross-silo services for better decision support and resource

optimizatimization

Results

Well informed users can reduce consumption by 10-20% with

minimal impact on their comfort level

Solution template that integrates: Data from Smart

water meter, Smart electric meter and Smart phone for

a comprehensive and holistic approach to water and

energy consumption in a city

Distribution of energy from renewable sources


IBM Italia S.p.A.

GridWise Olympic Peninsula Project

Participants used web portal to record their temperature preferences. The utility used this

info to control the thermostats in the participants’ homes linking them to an optimize

exploitation of renewable energy availability

Over 1 year 10% reduction in customer’s electric bills and 15% reduction in peak grid

loads


IBM Italia S.p.A.

Who is Involved in the Project?

Utilities (15 sub-project locations, 8 sites in Washington):

– Avista Utilities (3 sites at Pullman, WA) – Benton PUD (Kennewick, WA) – City of Ellensburg (Ellensburg Renewable Energy Park, WA) – Flathead Electric Coop., Inc.
