2. OVER 10 YEARS AGO . . . CALIFORNIA RECEIVED NATIONAL ATTENTION

3. USCL and the State of California lead the way
USCL and the State of California lead the way... Revolutionizing metering and AMI
January 2001 California makes world wide headlines
January 2001 USCL begins development of prototype EMS-2020
April 2001 USCL unveils working EMS-2020 prototype at an Open house attended by California State Senator Tom Torlakson
USCL receives letter from the White House regarding its innovative Smart Meter and Customer display products
Senator Torlakson introduces Senate Bill SB-1976; Approved by the California Governor September 24, 2002
Senate Bill 1976 leads to two year SPP pilot project

4. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) begins to mandate AMI for the state’s three Investor Owned Utilities Q2 2004; over 12 million old fashion electro-mechanical power meters will be replaced in California by 2012
Southern California Edison (SCE) files negative business case model with CPUC for AMI; Vice President provides negative testimony at CEC and CPUC public hearing November 2004

5. USCL prepares detailed letter and AMI Team Roadmap PowerPoint for SCE President Robert Foster and personally delivers documents to Mr. Foster’s office January
SCE files 480 page five volume positive AMI business case model largely based on USCL’s letter and AMI Roadmap March 30, 2005
Tom Tamarkin files testimony with the California Public Utilities Commission on the importance of in-home customer energy displays in August 2005

6. with communicating digital meters.
Utilities state-wide are now replacing their installed base of old fashioned electrical meters
with communicating digital meters.
California: million
Nationwide:150 million

7. Often times these are called Smart Meters
But are they Smart?

8. These meters say they’re smart. But, are they?
Probably, not so smart!

9. Meters
can be
made smart!
Here is how . . .

10. Is Josh Hart in the room?

11. Jay Leno’s upcoming joke . . .
Who is Josh Hart?
Jay Leno’s upcoming joke . . .
Josh Hart, leading anti-Smart Meter advocate:
Used PC with his wireless router
Printed material using wireless PC interface
Verified data with his Blackberry PDA
Spent 45 minutes on cell phone with media . .

15. SMART for the utility VERY SMART for EVERYONE Customer Utility
Environment
Economy
The future of energy

18. As smart meters help utility customers become smart customers . . .
Simple ratepayers are transformed into smart customers
A truly smart meter will support a “plug and play” energy dash board inside the customers home or office.

19. Car makers knew this 30 years ago.
The econometer

20. A smart energy dash board will also present gas information.

21. And, water information

22. Think about it. When you fill up the car you know what the gasoline cost is and how much you are buying.

23. Plug & play; no difficult installation steps required
EnergyCite™ presents such a smart energy dash board for utility customers
Plug & play; no difficult installation steps required
U.S. Patent: 7,379,791
E.U. Patent rights granted
Additional patents pending ; U.S., China, E.U., & Israel

24. Let’s go under the cover.

25. What’s In A Smart Meter? Volt meter (volts) Current meter (amperes)
Calculator (Watts, kW, VARS)
Clock (Watt hours, kWh, accumulated)
Memory (parameter registers, ANSI)
Micro-computer chip (runs everything)
Radio transceivers (LAN-WAN)

26. VARS All electrons are created equally.
All electrons are not delivered equally.
Work performed by electrons is a function of power quality. 1 HP = 744 Watts I V

27. Reactive Power Formula

29. IMPROVED OPERATIONS:
CSUM systems can collect primary data such as voltage, current, and phase angle. A wealth of additional information, such as power factor, can be derived from the primary data. This information is valuable for both utilities and their customers.

30. SUBSCRIBER SIDE BILLIING:
Subscriber side billing is another example of how a CSUM system can reduce costs for both utilities and their customers. Such a meter system is able to (1) calculate and display each customers’ monthly bill, (2) reconcile each bill at the end of the month with taxes, credits and regulatory offsets . . .

31. CREDIT LIMIT AND PREPAID SERVICE:
In addition to its ability to calculate monthly bills, a CSUM system with subscriber side billing will make it easy for utilities to establish a credit limit for each customer and also to offer a prepaid service . . .

32. SECURE COMMUNICATION AND HACKING DETECTION:
A CSUM system will (1) securely encrypt all communications to prevent unauthorized access to private information, (2) detect any cyberspace hacking attempt by those seeking to do harm to the nation’s transmission and distribution system . . .

33. NEW TARIFF OPPORTUNITIES:
A CSUM system will also support the future use of a variety of new rate tariff structures. These can be time of use, peak demand, and critical peak demand tariffs currently in use or proposed for use

34. CLASS OF SERVICE:
Examples of Class of Service include: (1) maximum current in amperes, (2) guaranteed maximum period of service interruption, (3) guaranteed minimum and maximum over and under voltage and (4) guaranteed levels of power factor deviation and harmonic content.

35. REMOTE CONNECT, DISCONNECT & CLASS OF SERVICE CHANGE:
A CSUM system can remotely connect, disconnect and change the class of service saving the utility money. This feature is especially helpful when people move into and out of residences. It is also important when enforcing collections.

36. SUPPORTS ELECTRICITY RETAILERS:
A CSUM greatly enhances the effective operations of electricity retailers in deregulated markets by directing meter data to a specific retailer.

37. REMOTE UPDATE:
Lastly, any embodiment of a CSUM system must provide for the remote download of updates and improvements of the software-firmware operating system. This will insure that hardware paid for today will not become obsolete

EMS-2020 Real Time Burn Rate Screens

40. Customer Benefits:
Manage electricity usage by:
Display of electricity cost information
Real time consumption and accumulated cost to date.
Establish, monitor, and control customer established budget.

41. Integration with HAN and communicating “Smart Appliances.”
Customer Benefits, cont’d
Integration with HAN and communicating “Smart Appliances.”
Offers payment choices such as . . .
Displays information on a remote computer or PDA while the customer is away from the premise
Displays locally generated power (solar) in a feed-in tariff environment

42. Local data archiving for customer review.
Customer Benefits, cont’d
Monitors “health” and efficiency of major electricity consuming appliances . . .
Local data archiving for customer review.
Cost effective choices for new appliances based on manufacturers’ ratings and historical use within the premise.

43. Provides for the down load of energy related or other media content
Customer Benefits, cont’d
Customer real time interactive link to utility customer service department
Provides for the down load of energy related or other media content
Allows for the simple operation of Electricity Retailers in deregulated environments thereby offering the customer a choice of electricity companies, plans and programs

44. 30 Years Later, We Return To The Automobile
Israel Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, & Tom Tamarkin discuss Israel’s consideration of a plan to convert all autos and trucks to electric vehicles and the need for new energy sources. Other countries will surely follow.

46. Proper implementation
of Smart Meters:
Transforms Ratepayers into smart customers.
Builds the customer into the Smart Grid and Smart Meter system; complaints related to meter inaccuracies and even the “health concerns” go away.
Creates a win-win situation for utilities, their customers, and meter manufacturers.
