 "New normal” vs “Smart”?
 "Smart" and Energy
 "Smart" and Cities
 Conclusions

3.  The concept behind "the new normal" is
that we are halfway in the transition to a
brave new digital world and this is
probably going to be a very complex
period for everybody living in the
developed world since it will require many
people to leave their comfort zone on a
large number of topics and to cope
necessarily with several situations that
nobody will be able to avoid anymore
(e.g.: access ubiquity, privacy issues,
sensors pervasivity, information overload,
etc.)

What’s “the new normal”?

“New normal” or “Smart”?
 Technology is the cause and the
enabler, but also the victim of this
transformation, since the old way of
thinking, doing, managing infrastructures
and platforms is radically being turned
upside down by the change in the viewpoint
that will come with this flip.
 What I will talk about today is that the new
so-called "smart" paradigm is just a way to
label this flip since smart is exactly about
information, intelligence, integration and
innovation.
Let's look at some examples

5. “Smart” and Energy
Building Energy Management
Systems for the control and supervision of the energy-related
technological infrastructure of buildings networks
Smart MicroGrids
Systems for the generation, distribution and control of the energy flows
at local level
The interfacing and integration of Smart Building with Smart Microgrid opens up
major benefits for both the building operators and the utilities.
They are already interconnected through the former consuming approximately
40% of electricity generated and delivered through the grid network.
These facts make it imperative that they are connected in such way they can
achieve the maximum benefits in reducing energy consumption and at the same
time for Smart Building to feed clean energy into the grid to meet the utilities need
to reduce CO2 emissions by gradually closing down central fossil generating plants.

6. Digital Building
Operating System
o Efficient use of energy, operational effectiveness and tenants
satisfaction.
o Compact and effective unified cockpit providing real time
awareness of all the information needed to operators and
management to guide the operations and to be alerted in case
of serious events
o Highly reliable single aggregation platform, which continually
acquires, stores and elaborates information collected by several
building sub systems (HVAC, Elevators,..) and external
information such as weather forecast.
o Sophisticated algorithms for expected thermal profile and
occupancy prediction ; this forecast is used to Identify the best
start-stop time for each HVAC to reduce the associated energy
bills

7. Microgrid
Main features
A Microgrid is about:
• the structures, equipments, sensors, connections, information
sinks and control rooms
• the available services to the community users

8. Energy Efficiency - use
case
 Privately owned real estate company, managing around 40
buildings (1,3Msqm) located in Manhattan
 Selex ES provides an innovative situational awareness “cockpit”
based on the analysis of real-time data intelligence from legacy
independent building systems (HVAC, BMS, Occupancy
Counters, Elevators, Fire and Security Alarms) integrated into a
single learning machine able to perform and propose actions to
proactively correct, adjust, and re-commission these systems for
total performance optimization, efficiency and reduced carbon
footprint.
 The pilot version showed a payback in less than
6 months
 The project is under deployment in 16 skyscrapers

9. Smart Energy for
Defense
 Military bases need to maintain operational surety of power
supply through trusted reliable and resilient generation and
electrical distribution system
 All the critical loads must be served without any exception while
priority loads are to be served based on current generation and
load conditions
 Military bases need to forecast exactly fuel consumption,
minimize its consumption whenever possible and keep it to a
safe level against possible contingencies
 Military bases are expected to generate savings on the cost of
procurement of electrical energy and to start to trade energy as
a market operator
 Finally the energy resources of the military basis may support
the operations of the external grid in case of impending
problems such as power mismatch and instability
REQUIREMENTS

10. Smart Energy for Defense
The typical generation and distribution system
(Microgrid) may consist of :
 A MV electrical substation and a few LV substations
connected to the external grid
 A number of diesel generators, that provide the
bulk of generation coupled with photovoltaic arrays
and possibly local energy storage
 Fuel storage tanks
 Loads (divided in critical and conventional with
different priorities)
 A local SCADA that may have connection also with
the control and dispatching system of the external
network operator
THE SCENARIO

11. Smart Microgrid
 The Smart micro-grid dispatcher provides the
necessary control and regulation actions on
generation, utilization and distribution
 The Smart Micro Grid approach moves intelligence
where it is required and coordinate the behavior of
each component
 Operational research is coupled to Artificial
intelligence to manage operations of active and
passive components and the flow of energy
 A streamlined Energy Mgmt Decision Support
System is provided to the operator
The smart microgrid approach allows bases to
operate with or without the external grid, in either
an “islanded” or a grid-tied configuration.
This approach permits cost savings as well as
energy reliability and energy security.
In addition to being smaller, the power generation
integrates a diversified fuel mix, including secure
on-site fuel storage and PV arrays with newer
renewable and sustainable energy technologies

12. “Smart” and Cities
THE CONCEPT
A three tier model
• Distributed sensors for data collection
• Integrated and interoperable Secure
Networks and Communications
• Innovative and open applications for all
stakeholders
plus
an intelligent Control Center for
unified City Operations

13.  Safety and Security (physical, occupation, moral, family, health and property) are one of
the primary needs according to Maslow's pyramid
 For this very reason it is one of the most evident elements of evaluation of the
"smartness" of public administrations worldwide
 The convergence of different technologies can enable
typical models of "sense & respond" to effectively address
the problems of context
 This condition, together with the use of networks
of "Emergency Response" allows the creation
of applications and services that help combat urban crime
and support emergencies operators

Use of advanced technology for security
 Security of the “Content” (Urban Security)
A Smart City needs to improve the safety of citizens using
technology in a smart way to ensure:
- Prevention and control of the risks of the territory
- Prevention and control of crime
- Social inclusion
 Security of the “Container” (System of Systems)
A Smart City is a container of technologies, networks and
systems and therefore it is necessary to ensure integrated
and convergent security of the platform connecting all the
subsystems (many of which are Critical Infrastructure).
The new Digital Smart Cities raise two kinds of problems in
terms of security:
Better Safe than Smart?

17. A new conclusion
The examples we discussed point to the fact that
in order to be successful in this brave new digital
world, in order to be able to lead the edge and to
intelligently support the evolution, the
information, innovation and integration
requirements of clients and partners, technology
providers must understand the shift and ride the
wave of change or, rather, ride the wave of the
"design to change” embracing new disciplines,
e.g.: agility, OODA loop, re-use, streaming data,
mobility, etc.

18. For a system integrator active in the
Defence, Security and Smart markets, such as
Selex ES this digital evolution also marks a new
paradigm in the “dual use” approach.
We believe that many of the new digital
technologies, derived from large investments in
consumer markets, of the smart environment will
constitute a new powerful dual capability (from
consumer to professional, from IT to industrial
automation, from civil to defense), that we will be
able to leverage to help our customers reach their
new normal goals!
A smart conclusion
