SMART for the utility VERY SMART SMART for EVERYONE • Customer • Utility U ili • Environment • Economy • The future of The future of energy

As smart meters help utility customers b become smart customers . . . t t Simple ratepayers are transformed into Simple ratepayers are transformed into smart customers A truly smart meter will support a “plug and play” energy dash board inside the customers home or office.

Car makers knew this 30 years ago. meter The econom T A smart energy dash board will also present gas information.

And, water information Think about it. When you fill up the car you know what the gasoline cost is and how much you are buying. the gasoline cost is and how much you are buying.

EnergyCite™ presents such a smart energy dash board for utility customers . . . . Plug & play; no difficult installation steps required U.S. Patent: 7,379,791 E.U. Patent rights granted Additional patents pending ; U.S., China, E.U., & Israel Let’s go under the cover.

What’s In A Smart Meter? • Volt meter (volts) Volt meter (volts) • Current meter (amperes) • Calculator (Watts, kW, VARS) C l l t (W tt kW VARS) • Clock (Watt hours, kWh, accumulated) • Memory (parameter registers, ANSI) • Micro-computer chip (runs everything) Micro computer chip (runs everything) • Radio transceivers (LAN-WAN) VARS • All electrons are created equally. • All electrons are not delivered equally. All l t t d li d ll I V • Work performed by electrons is a function • Work performed by electrons is a function of power quality. 1 HP = 744 Watts

IMPROVED OPERATIONS: CSUM systems can collect primary data such as voltage, current, and g phase angle. A wealth of additional information such as power factor information, such as power factor, can be derived from the primary data data. This information is valuable for This information is valuable for both utilities and their customers. SUBSCRIBER SIDE BILLIING: Subscriber side billing is another Subscriber side billing is another example of how a CSUM system can reduce costs for both utilities and their reduce costs for both utilities and their customers. Such a meter system is able to (1) calculate and display each bl t (1) l l t d di l h customers’ monthly bill, (2) reconcile each bill at the end of the month with taxes, credits and regulatory offsets . . . , g y

CREDIT LIMIT AND PREPAID CREDIT LIMIT AND PREPAID SERVICE: In addition to its ability to calculate monthly bills, a CSUM system with thl bill CSUM t ith subscriber side billing will make it easy for utilities to establish a credit limit for each customer and also to t o eac custo e a d a so to offer a prepaid service . . . SECURE COMMUNICATION AND SECURE COMMUNICATION AND HACKING DETECTION: A CSUM system will (1) securely encrypt all communications to prevent t ll i ti t t unauthorized access to private information, (2) detect any cyberspace hacking attempt by those seeking to ac g atte pt by t ose see g to do harm to the nation’s transmission and distribution system and distribution system . . .

NEW TARIFF OPPORTUNITIES: A CSUM A CSUM system will also support the t ill l t th future use of a variety of new rate tariff structures. These can be time of use , peak demand, and critical peak p , p demand tariffs currently in use or proposed for use proposed for use CLASS OF SERVICE: Examples of Class of Service include: Examples of Class of Service include: (1) maximum current in amperes, (2) guaranteed maximum period of service d i i d f i interruption, (3) guaranteed minimum and maximum over and under voltage and (4) guaranteed levels of power and (4) guaranteed levels of power factor deviation and harmonic content.

REMOTE CONNECT, DISCONNECT & CLASS OF SERVICE CHANGE: A CSUM system can remotely connect, disconnect and change the class of disconnect and change the class of service saving the utility money. This feature is especially helpful when feature is especially helpful when people move into and out of residences. It is also important when id It i l i t t h enforcing collections. SUPPORTS ELECTRICITY RETAILERS: A CSUM greatly enhances the effective operations of electricity retailers in deregulated markets by g y directing meter data to a specific retailer retailer.

REMOTE UPDATE: REMOTE UPDATE: L Lastly, any embodiment of a CSUM tl b di t f CSUM system must provide for the remote download of updates and improvements of the software- p firmware operating system. This will insure that hardware paid for today insure that hardware paid for today will not become obsolete . . . .
