Five market trends that are re-shaping C&I energy management and procurementOmar Saadeh
The market for building energy management and procurement solutions is vast and today’s large electricity customers are exposed to an increasingly complex array of opportunities. A growing number of new solutions and upgrades continue to promise enhanced energy consumption and awareness, streamlined day-to-day business processes, and improved operational efficiency. Apart from proven applications such as demand response or commercial solar, an emerging class of utility and wholesale programs further offer energy managers new options to optimize their investments and realize positive project cash flows.
As we build out our C&I Customer Network and coverage into energy procurement and management for large energy consumers, we expect to produce more content in these areas. We’re happy to include folks in this space and take briefing from solution providers including vendors, developers, ESCOs and utilities. Please do reach-out.
The symbiotic relationship between smart cities and smart grids. The integration of city infrastructure with electric utilities infrastructure is indeed a natural way of building a system of systems to deliver a secure resilient grid through the emergence of integrated utility micro-grids.

Medical device development is increasingly under market pressure to reduce deployment time in critical care facilities. Further, budget cuts in critical care facilities drive process innovation mostly realized through a holistic integration of IT systems across departments (hospital information systems, PACS and modalities). One important leverage to reduce development cycle time and to control complexities of software along the life-cycle is to use model-based engineering approaches. Such new technology adoption is still in its early adoption phase. Less than 10 percent of organizations (in the medical device industry) use such approaches. As more and more clinical workflows start to be IT-supported > 60% (end of the ’90 only ~ 30%), model-based engineering brings viable solutions to large software development efforts (> 5000 requirements) in multi product lines. This talk will discuss implemented model-based engineering in Requirements Engineering, Architecture Design as well as outline what is planned for the system test by means of an imaging platform project carried out in Siemens Healthcare. Our own experience and an underlying business case show concrete cost savings in the project planning, testing and complexity reduction of the imaging platform architecture using a model-based requirements engineering approach. Further, the current status and requirements of engineering tools will be discussed. The talk ends with best practices developed as well as key take aways.

Connected Mobility: The Digitalization PerspectiveSteffen Schaefer
Städte wie München und Stuttgart verzeichnen einen Rückgang von privatem PKW-Besitz, besonders unter jungen Bevölkerungsgruppen. Als Ersatz steigt die Nutzung des klassischen ÖPNV; häufig in Kombination mit Car Sharing, Bike Sharing, Ride Sharing oder der Nutzung von Taxis.
Um für den Reisenden die Nutzung zu vereinfachen, werden zunehmend Mobilitätsdienste verschiedener Anbieter miteinander kombiniert. Klassische ÖPNV und Fernverkehrs-Unternehmen bieten heute vielfach auch Car Sharing und Bike Sharing. Mobilitätsdienstleister aus der Automobilindustrie empfehlen im Bedarfsfall intermodale Reiseketten und verkaufen ÖPNV Tickets. Neue Player spezialisieren sich auf ‚Mobility as a Service (MaaS)‘. Es entwickeln sich vernetzte, intermodale Mobilitätsdienste.
Eine sehr wichtige Rolle spielt dabei Informations-Technologie oder Digitalisierung: Smartphones und das Internet der Dinge, gepaart mit der Verarbeitung und Bereitstellung von Echtzeitinformation in der Cloud sind Eckpfeiler des ‚Transportation Internet‘. Der Vortrag beleuchtet diese Entwicklungen und berichtet von Erfahrungen bei der Implementierung einer IT Plattform.

Steffen Schaefer : How Digitalization is enabling new Mobility ecosystems | Z...Zinnov
Keynote delivered by Steffen Schaefer, Head of Innovation for Mobility Management, Senior Principal at Siemens AG
Urban roads are clogged; Public Transport is at its limit in many places. But demand for urban mobility is only growing. It is predicted to triple by 2050. New mobility services like car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing are widely emerging. Demand Responsive Transport and self-driving taxi services are becoming a significant new mode in urban transport. They are all largely possible due to new (digital) technologies. Digitalization is highly disruptive to the Mobility ecosystem. The value however of Mobile Internet, Internet of Things, and Cloud Computing is very clear. Aggressive and well funded new players who understand these technologies are entering the market. Traditional main line and public transport operators, Automotive OEMs, taxi companies, and road authorities must act, otherwise they will be left behind. And transport legislation must be adapted to create a suitable framework for a new ecosystem. The large number of mobility services from various providers brings a host of options to the traveler, but also certain complexity. What apps do I need for which region? Packaging and simplification of mobility services is essential. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will help to do so, in a model that is very similar to Telco industries. A scalable, digital mobility platform will form the backbone of all mobility infrastructure and services.
Industry 4.0: Merging Internet and FactoriesFabernovel
Industrial IoT and connected objects for factories are part of our research at FABERNOVEL OBJET, our activity dedicated to IoT.
The future of industry is at the crossroads of internet and factories. Some call it INDUSTRY 4.0 or FACTORY 4.0 in reference to the upcoming fourth industrial revolution. Governments and private companies in Germany, UK and the USA have acknowledged the importance of industrial IoT and its central role in future industrial transformation.
The adoption of Industrial Internet has both near-term and long-term impacts and will be characterized by the emergence of new models such as the “Outcome Economy” and the “Autonomous, Pull Economy”.
We believe that INDUSTRY 4.0 is a growth opportunity for industrial companies, and have decrypted this very phenomenon in the following presentation.
Siemens success story - Gamification in employee engagement - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
Plantville is an innovative, educational and fun way for Siemens to engage customers, employees, prospects, students and the general public while driving awareness of Siemens technologies and brand.
How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles between cloud, APIs and native hardware/software configurations.

English version presentation VREG Round table 2010-10-5 smart metersDirk Van Evercooren
Introductory presentation for the round table on smart metering in Flanders. Survey results for households and small and medium business energy customers.
The aim of the project is to minimize the queue at the energy meter billing counters and to restrict the usage of energy meter automatically, if the bill is not paid. The project also aims at proposing a system that will reduce the loss of power and revenue due to power thefts and other illegal activities. The work system adopts a totally new concept of “Prepaid Energy Meter”. The GSM technology is used so that the consumer would receive messages about the consumption of power (in watts) and if it reaches the minimum amount, it would automatically alert the consumer to recharge. This technology holds good for all electricity distribution companies, private communities, IT parks and self-containing housing projects. The implementation of this project will help in better energy management, conservation of energy and also in doing away with the unnecessary hassles over incorrect billing. The automated billing system will keep track of the real time consumption and will leave little scope for disagreement on consumption and billing.It is observed that one of the faulty subsystems contributing to the huge revenue loss in Nigerian Power Sector is the metering and billing system. Errors get introduced at every stage of energy billing, like: errors with electro-mechanical meters, human errors while noting down the meter reading; and error while processing the paid bills and the due bills. The remedy for this drawback is a prepaid energy billing. There are clear results from many countries, where prepaid system has reduced the revenue loss by a large amount. A GSM-based Energy Recharge Interface which contains a prepaid card equivalent to a mobile SIM card. The prepaid card communicates with the power utility using GSM communication network. Once the prepaid card is out of balance, the consumer load is disconnected from the utility supply by the latching Relay (contactor). The power utility can recharge the prepaid card remotely through GSM/SMS mode base on customer requests. The results obtained shows good system performance. A prior billing is bound to do away with the problems of unpaid bills and human error in meter readings, thereby ensuring justified revenue for the utility
