11. Growing Demand
for ZigBee Smart Energy
ZigBee Smart Energy is the standard of choice
for Energy Management and Smart Metering
ZigBee Smart Energy is bridging the gap
between the power grid today & the Smart Grid
of tomorrow
– Using ZigBee Smart Energy today can improve in
building energy efficiency, comfort and convenience
all at the same time even without a smartgrid or smart
meter
– Households with digital tools controlling temperature
and price preferences saved on average 10% on utility
bills
ZigBee Smart Energy is an essential element in
managing micro/distributed generation, energy
storage and electric vehicles

12. ZigBee Smart Energy
Deployments
40+ million ZigBee electric meters being deployed
by over 11 utility companies in the USA
– Major deployments in California, Texas,
Michigan & Virginia
– An additional 40 million meters (from utility
RFPs) in the USA are in various stages of
business case development and rate approval
with local regulatory bodies
State of Victoria in Australia upgrading all its
meters
British Gas selected Smart Energy for its multi-
million meter roll out and will start deployment
shortly

13. ZigBee Smart Energy
Roadmap
Enhanced Network/Communications options
– Integration with ZigBee IP stack
– Support for multiple communications protocols
– Exploits the benefits of wireless and wired
Support for Forward-Thinking Developments
(EVs, Distributed Generation, Energy Storage, etc.)
Support for regional needs
Working closely with ESMIG, IEC, EPRI,
AHAM, SAE, Wi-Fi, HomePlug and others

15. White Goods Implementation
AHAM study, published December 2009 (link below)
Energy pricing will be the key driver in engaging
customers in the smart grid; open standards must be
used, and consumer privacy must be respected
Publicly announced moves in the past several months
have shown white goods manufacturers are seeing
this as a market opportunity worth investing in
Other major consumer-electronics companies
following suit (joining ZigBee Alliance, certifying
products, etc.)

18. Indesit Company and Freescale
Semiconductor have collaborated to
produce a smart washer that uses a
Freescale ZigBee node, allowing it to
adjust its cycle starting time
according to the variable energy
cost, accessing information from the
local power utility via a ZigBee
enabled Internet connection to the
Smart Grid. The Indesit Company is
a leading European manufacturer
and distributor of major domestic
appliances.
