Editor's Notes
- We are an energy control networking company – not a communications company. Been specialized in this area for 20 years.Delighted to be here – As I said in my first earnings call, I think ELON is the best kept secret in the industry. Truly unique, innovative technology, lots of invaluable experience, huge installed base of happy customers.
- As you know, we play at the edge of the grid – high volume, low cost, scalable to millions of nodes. We are not GE, ABB, even Cisco making low volume, high priced products
- You know our customers. They buy and they buy again. NRGI is a good example…
- Now let’s talk about the difference between a control network and a communications network, and explain why making our grids smart is not as simple as building an “Internet” on top of the grid. Internet is about centralized data and decision-making. That is fast enough and reliable enough and survivable enough for email, facebook, even general ledger. Not fast enough for controlling electricity. To do that we need to get the decision rules out to the edge of the network, close to where the decisions need to be made. Only then do we maximize reliability and survivability, and minimize delays. Let me illustrate with an example of PHEVs in a neighborhood attached to a transformer…

- And all of this great software goes inside hardware purpose-built for the smart gridECN 7000s have lots of built in connectivity to different networks and sensorsAnd, just like COS, they are designed as open platforms, with the ability for anyone to add additional networksNo limits, no licenses, no restrictions
- Intelligent distributed control is at the heart of the COS platform. While intelligence is distributed, the entire network of Edge Control Nodes is managed centrally, easily, and efficiently…COS Apps run on the Edge in the ECN. Distribution automation systems leverage data from the low voltage grid provided by COS Apps in near real-time.COS Apps deployed for residential areas provide intelligence and control for low voltage assets like NES Smart meters, or existing AMR and AMI assets, even PV and solar – in near real-time, automatically, and independently - maximizing response time, customer value, grid reliability, and energy efficiency.Key points to makeThe COS and the ECN 7000 series bring monitoring and control to the edge of the gridThis is different than other solutions available before now:About control networking not data networking – explain the difference quickly (compare & contrast)Its all about enabling apps for a smarter grid.One platform for all vs. unique product per appReduces hardware and infrastructure costs (important) Breaks down barriers between networks, devices and protocols – unlock the potential of the smart grid; create an environment for innovationOpen to all -- no limits, no licenses, no restrictions But where do those apps go when they fly into the ECN. They plug into the COS framework
- COS System Services are built on the Linux operating system, use a secure, fault-tolerant, wear-leveling file system, and have modern firewall and routing capabilities for a state-of-the-art, intelligent smart grid integration and communication platform. But the system services are just the start…
- Simplified development management
- Built-in Productivity. Add more apps. Open to innovation.
