The PPT is intended to provide an open discussion on the subject matter covered in the 30 + slides.The knowledge collected and shared here has culminated from thousands of hours with SMEs and practitioners dedicated to the transformation of the power grid, the creation of an industrial internet and finally putting this knowledge to practical use so that a knowledge economy can be realized and sustained for all.
The challenges are daunting but not impossible to overcome.Change is needed in how we solve such complex problems by actively seeking new pathways that are less traveled. One only needs to draw from the courage one needs to take the first step in a thousand mile journey.

5. List of Useful Case Studies
• Verizon – master plan for national datacenters and integration of all major systems in the
integrated revenue domain.
• IBM Emerging Business Opportunities – 43 engagements planning fiber and
wireless services for states, cities, universities, and hospitals
• Milton Keynes – Working with BT on the Data Hub for the smart city program in the
fastest growing city in the UK
• PTRP – plan for shared infrastructure for the nation’s largest medical research park.
• Agile Fractal Grid – a plan for securing the nation’s power grid using cooperative
decentralized control structures in buildings, neighborhoods, and local distribution networks.
• University of California San Diego – 46 active microgrid elements
• Pecan Street – the country’s most preeminent innovation neighborhood – transactive
energy plan with emphasis on personal security and privacy.
• Security Fabric – Intel initiative to secure the Industrial Internet
6. We have about a billion years of evolution that shows
that all higher level organisms have a familiar pattern…
All other approaches seem to die out over time.
Digital control is needed
at each junction point.
Like electricity,
broadband can be used
for multiple things.
The Circulatory System The Nervous System
Electric power distribution and broadband communications are like Siamese twins!
(They can’t go anywhere without each other.)
7. There are two aspects to
the anatomy of the smart city.
• The Brain
– This is the network of
incubators.
– Armed with the fun and
excitement of creativity
– Comfortable beyond compare
– Where the social interaction
evolves the agile
development at breakneck
speed.
• The Nervous System
– Armed with autonomic
modular computing nodes
spread all over the city.
– Connected by red hot
broadband faster than
anything else in the world.
– Reaching every person, every
car, every building, and all the
infrastructure.
This will be where work, learning, and play all begin to converge.
8. The emerging role of electric power
is as fundamental as currency itself.
• The world now depends on
the security, reliability, and
efficiency of electricity.
• A new paradigm is emerging
that will serve the next 100
years.
• It needs to follow the
broadband connectivity and
touch every point of the
infrastructure.
The Agile Fractal Grid
This approach does not do away with
the electric grid of the last 100 years.
But it makes it work more effectively
in this new era of alternative energy.
9. We are now planning to support the 940 rural co-ops
in the U.S. with hybrid cloud/device services.
There are potentially 42 million Americans that will be served by this system.
10. What NRECA has asked us to do.
1. Provide an “applications store” for operational, analytical,
and financial applications for the cooperatives.
2. Participate in the “Substation of the Future” for the remote
equipment and subsystems.
3. Apply the Security Fabric within the emerging Industrial
Internet to protect all communications between the
elements.
The individual cooperatives will have multiple choices
for individual products or applications.
11. The Security Fabric itself operates
at each level in the supply chain.

13. There are actually three layers to the
communications:
1. The national core
2. The regional transmission paths
3. The local distribution paths
It is always important to understand the next larger context
before attempting to design a particular thing.
- Eero Saarinen
14. As our Industrial Internet partner, Internet2, will provide
the secure core DWDM network for
the national broadband reach.
15. The national core network by itself is not enough.
We need a combination of
• traditional carriers,
• middle mile rural providers, and
• power transmission operators with dark fiber
to provide the take-out paths to the substations.
16. The Merit Network provides the middle
mile for the entire state of Michigan.
Detroit is well positioned to be a hub for the rest of the state.

19. There would actually be four networks
sharing the same physical infrastructure.
• When it comes to responding to emergencies and support for the
communities, there are no bounds placed on what policies their
members can have that will lead to the sustainability of their
communities.
• This extends to the option of sharing their infrastructure for the
good of the community in any way they see fit.
• We are examining the possibility of deploying four simultaneous
networks on the shared infrastructure:
– Industrial Internet – for the control of the Agile Fractal Grid
– Generic direct Internet access – for residences and business
– Cellular coverage – for extending cellular coverage
– First responder access – for managing community emergencies.
This is what Smart America is all about.

Our demonstration use case is Milton Keynes, which is the fastest growing city in the UK
The city authorities are concerned that the transport system and energy and water infrastructure cannot sustain the rate of growth in people and businesses
So the Data Hub is being used to enable the creation of applications aimed at enabling growth with no net increase in resources
We have a choice of demonstrations to show you, depending on how detailed you wish to go…
The Data Hub is at the heart of the Smart City. It’s the place that brings together the diverse range of information sources and makes them available to application developers in a standard way, enabling them to rapidly create smart city applications and analytics.
The Data can range from live information from sensors such as sensors on car parking spaces, sensors on busyness and congestion, sensors on use of energy and water, through to satellite imagery, through to information on population densities and crime statistics, through to information from people’s smart phones should they choose to share it
A set of APIs and tools is aimed at Information providers to help make it easy to bring information into the data hub
Whilst another set of API and tools is provided to Developers to enable rapid application development and to connect applications to data
An Information Spine ensures that appropriate data privacy and security is enacted.
Importantly, a Service Management environment makes this all available “As a Service” online, where commercial enablement is a key aspect…
(If questions arise on privacy/security these are best answered by showing how it’s done in the demonstration later).
As well as enabling use of the data, we need to address how to monetise the data, applications, and related services, amidst a complex ecosystem- this is the primary challenge of this Catalyst project.
We achieve this using the concepts of the “Virtual Service Provider” - VSP and the “Virtual Service Operators” – VSO. This uses technology from Bearing Point called Infonova R6, which runs within BT’s Compute Management System (CMS), and is based on TM Forum standards uses approaches in the TM Forum Open Digital Ecosystem initiative.
The VSP acts as the procurement platform, buying in data and services for the Data Hub.
These are then in turn delivered to VSOs who aggregate and sell these to end customers using their own commercial offerings and pricing- which may be applications, analytics, or even white labelled data hubs using their own brand.
The Ecosystem Platform handles all the accounting, billing, cost and revenue allocations within the ecosystem- enabling the ecosystem to operate commercially
This provides tremendous commercial flexibility – where the ecosystem platform provider can enable any organisation to use Data Hub services, to contribute to Data Hub services, or to become their own commercially operable Data Hub.
The best way to understand this is to see it in action…
