This post consists of some facts and some dreams…

In the future that I believe in, almost everything will be connected and integrated with each other. You will be able to control and plan your everyday life in a new way. I believe in smart transportation plug-in hybrid vehicles that is part of the community transport system. I think that the smart vehicle will adjust its time schedule after my moves and pick me up when I need it and drive me wherever I would like to go. The people waiting for me know exactly when I will arrive. The plug-in vehicle batteries can be charged anywhere in the grid.

Does it sound too futuristic?

In the future that I believe in, you don’t need several cards in your wallet for bank accounts, shopping bonus cards, ID etc. You are the ID yourself by using your eyes or your fingerprints and perhaps with only one card.

Ok, what does this have to do with a Smart Grid Infrastructure?
It’s easy. Without electricity the civilization stops and this is just the beginning.
The utility companies are in the perfect position for creating new flexible and reliable services and products. In the Smart Grid everything will be more flexible and it will be easy to monitor what’s happening in the grid and automatically adjust to it. You will be able to minimize distribution losses, detect leaks, peaks and outages and much more.

There could be much more than just energy and water.

To be able to communicate in the Smart Grid you need to set up an infrastructure for telecommunication. Telecommunication will be a key in the future to come so why not build a network that all customers also can use to get access to the Internet at the same time and make some money on it? Some utility companies have decided that they don’t want to become a telecom company and stops. Other utility companies build a backbone network instead and invite telecom operating companies to use it for its traffic. This enables a deregulated market which is good for the end customers.

Here’s a link to one utility company in Sweden that provides an open city network.

With a Smart Grid Infrastructure you will be able to adapt to new services and products.

It doesn’t translate the text perfectly but is a little help at least!

This video is a commercial from Echelon where they talk about smart cities.

“A complete smart city is one in which there is an invisible network of devices that are smart, they can communicate. And each of these devices can control themselves.”
-Bea Yormark. President and COO, Echelon

“Buildings are the major user of electrical energy. 65% of the electricity is used in buildings.
Just taking building control system and the devices in buildings and making them energy aware and making them intelligent and communicating will reducing the energy by 20-30%. The cost is very little, it will pay for itself very quickly. Echelon makes this open technology and the metering infrastructure but we don’t deliver in use products. We depend on thousands of companies to do that.”
-Ken Oshman. Chairman and CEO, Echelon
