BOULDER, Colo. PHOENIX–(–Tendril,
the provider of the cloud platform for the Energy Internet, will achieve
an industry milestone at Plug-In at Grid-Interop this week when its
extensible platform is used in conjunction with multiple Smart Grid
interoperability standards. The company's platform, both in the cloud
and at the network edge, is the first to work with Smart Energy Profile
(SEP 1.x and SEP 2.0 standards to communicate to in-home devices using
ZigBee and WiFi communication protocols at the same time. This
successful demonstration of a migration path to SEP 2.0 removes the
critical utility and regulatory concern that deploying technology with
existing standards will result in stranded assets as future standards
are rolled out. Additionally, it signals the arrival of the next wave of
communications between smart energy devices for consumers, and utilities
and other energy service providers.
"This is a pivotal moment not only for Tendril, but for consumers and
the Smart Grid industry as a whole"
"This is a pivotal moment not only for Tendril, but for consumers and
the Smart Grid industry as a whole," said Kent Dickson, CTO at Tendril.
"It's a 'Mr. Watson—come here—I want to see you' moment and represents
the culmination of years of industry collaboration. The interoperability
standards now exist so that we can meaningfully engage consumers in
Demand Response programs and deliver on the promise of the Smart Grid's
benefits to utilities and consumers. This industry first is the direct
result of our open-standards based platform approach to home energy
management. "
The demonstration shows an A-to-Z Demand Response event from a utility
through to several in-home smart devices, including a WiFi thermostat.
It uses the OpenADR standard and a proof-of-concept of Tendril's next
generation broadband embedded gateway platform to send direct load
control and price signals between utility back office systems, and
third-party Demand Response systems from vendors including Honeywell and
Lockheed Martin, to smart devices in the home including a MMB Research
enabled programmable thermostat and Tendril's smart plugs and load
control devices. Tendril's next generation gateway supports both SEP 1.x
and SEP 2.0 (pre-release concurrently.
Utilities licensing the open-standards based, extensible Tendril
Connect™ cloud platform can leverage existing investment in SEP
1.x-based technology as well as begin to deploy SEP 2.0-based
technology, knowing that Tendril's technology can support both. This
means utilities can avoid stranding assets, continue to provide
consumers with the benefits of the Smart Grid and be confident that
Tendril's open, flexible platform allows a path forward for both the
migration to SEP 2.0 as well as the co-existence of technologies using
both standards.
Tendril will also demonstrate a prototype smart energy application that
delivers a consumer's energy usage data in a simple, common, electronic
format—a concept advocated by U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra, known as the
"Green Button" initiative. In October, the three largest utilities in
California agreed to an action plan to make the Green Button a reality
by the end of 2011. The demonstration will showcase how any utility
using the Tendril Connect platform can generate a Green Button file for
their customers. Tendril has already opened its APIs to app developers,
who in turn can use Green Button data to create new energy applications.
"Presenting consumers with their energy usage information in a unified
format will unleash a host of innovative apps that will empower
consumers and reduce load on the grid. We believe that the Green Button
is the first step toward the larger automated data exchange standards
like Open Automated Data Exchange and Energy Servicer Providers
Interface, which we believe will eventually lead to machine-to-machine,
auto-delivery of information that in turn will drive huge benefits to
the consumer," Dickson said.
Organized by the GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC, Smart Grid
Interoperability Panel (SGIP, National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST, and Clasma Events, the Plug-In at Grid-Interop is
designed to demonstrate to the Smart Grid community that
standards-based, end‐to‐end application interoperability among multiple
vendors is not only feasible, but is being delivered today by the vendor
community in a competitive marketplace. The event takes place from
December 5-8 at the Phoenix Convention Center.
