HAN Guiding Principles

■ Supports a secure 2-way communication between the AMI Network and the HAN

■ Supports load control integration (e.g., distributed resource dispatch / control / relaying)

■ Provides direct access to usage and other meter data (e.g., kWHr, KW, Voltage, etc.)

■ Provides a platform for future customer owned products which leverage meter data and utility/grid information

■ Supports three types of communications: public price signaling, consumer specific signaling and control signaling

Wireless Control That Simply WorksZigBee® Alliance |Copyright © 2007. All Rights Reserved. CONFIDENTIAL 8

signaling and control signaling

■ Supports communications to other HAN Devices with metering capability (e.g., gas and/or water meter communication, EV sub-metering, PV sub-metering, etc.)

■ AMI Network interface to HAN interface is based on open standards

■ Implementation is appropriate given the high value and relative low cost

■ Potential technology obsolescence is low due to multiple bridging options

■ ZCP certification - ensures all parts of the stack other than the application profile are compliant with the ZigBee Standard

■ Allows network interoperability but does not imply interoperability at the application layer

■ There are currently 40+ ZigBee Compliant Platforms to choose from

■ Application profiles define what messages are sent over the air for a given application

■ Devices with the same application profiles interoperate

■ The ZigBee Alliance publishes a set of public profiles which guarantee interoperability

■ “AMI” profile update

► “Alpha” AMI profile implemented with 4 t-stat vendors, 2 meter manufacturers, 1 energy mgmt SW provider

►Next scheduled milestone is for end of year

►Expect testing labs to be able to certify products by early 2008

Proposed AMI “clusters”

■ Price Cluster (Support for different energy providers, multiple rate labels, multiple currencies, multiple commodities, and both consumed and generated prices)

■ Simple Metering Cluster (Support for multiple commodities (gas, water, electric, etc.))

■ Demand Response and Load Control Cluster (Support for temperature

■ Demand Response and Load Control Cluster (Support for temperature adjustments, % load reduction, mandatory events, and multiple tiers)

■ Secure Communications Cluster (AES encryption provided by stack on a per-link basis as well as an overall network key)

■ Anonymous Price Broadcast Cluster (Support for anonymous pricing signal broadcast to any device)

■ Messaging Cluster (Support for predefined and custom messages)
