8 NES network operating system –Enables choice of off-the-shelf applications –Supports quick development of custom applications and integrations Scalable to millions of devices Redundant architecture Backward-compatible Standards-based NES System Software Web services interface based network operating system Utility Software Web servicesWeb events IP WAN NES System Software

9 Fundamental Design Principles Leverage the power of networks Use best-of-breed standards Network-grade, end-to-end security is essential “Never visit the meter again”

10 Fundamental Design Principles Leverage the power of networks Data networks share expensive resources to reduce cost per connected point –Networked printers, networked servers, shared broadband connection, … Advanced metering networks should too –Spread cost of “expensive” components (e.g., modems, backhaul connection) across many meters and devices The NES system is not a “PLC” system The NES system is not an “RF” system The NES system is a networked system – Leverages the strengths of each to lower deployment cost, lower operating costs, and lower life-cycle costs

11 Fundamental Design Principles Use best-of-breed standards Each element of the system uses standards optimized & proven for that application domain  Meters built on proven metering standards ANSI C12.18, ANSI C12.19  Networks built on proven networking standards ANSI 709, TCP/IP  IT interfaces built on proven enterprise standards XML/SOAP (Web services) Leads to highest quality & security Drives down cost of network connectivity, IT integration –The largest contributors to total cost of ownership for an advanced metering system

12 Fundamental Design Principles Network-grade, end-to-end security is essential Everything is secured –No manufacturing “back doors” around security –Devices are always in a secured state – All communication in secured end-to-end Security begins in the factory Security is multi-layer Keys are random –For example, knowing the unique key of one meter gives you no information for finding the unique key for another meter Unique keys never have to be distributed to field employees

13 Fundamental Design Principles “Never visit the meter again” High level of “base” functionality built into every meter Enable/configure functionality remotely instead of replacing products –Built-in, firmware controlled disconnect in every meter –Hourly metering and multi tariff in every meter –Prepay support in every meter –Power quality in every meter –Multi-channel data logger/load profiling in every meter –… Remote upgrade rather than replacing products –All components support remote firmware upgrade Long-lived, reliable products –Designed for >20 year life with <0.3% annual failure rate

14 Next-Generation Systems Have Already Taken Hold in Europe — Powered By Echelon Technology “…during the tender process, a generation change in technology took place…” — Göran Lundgren, CEO of Vattenfall distribution, from Ny Teknik magazine Smart meters, Mr Conti believes, will give Enel an edge “for the next 20 or 30 years”. — Fulvio Conti, CEO Enel, from The Economist magazine
