"Sustainable Economic Ecosystems" will power the transition from the Industrial Era to the Era of Sustainability. Begin here to learn more about the construct and the emergence of Smart Villages.
2. We are Developers of Smart Economies
Past:
• Food and Water are basic necessities to human life.
• Human Society expanded as farming communities began to trade.
• Industrial Societies evolved as;
• Electrical Systems became available
• Communication Systems became available
• Transportation Systems became available
Today, 50% of the Human Population lives on 1% of the available
landmass worldwide. This phenomenon has occurred as
Industrialization has led to jobs and increased services
that support ever more dense population centers.
Today:
Water and Food continue as basic human necessities.
Electricity, Communications, and Transportation are basic societal
necessities. All Economic Systems depend upon these 5 critical components.
The Problem:
Industrialization has led to significant if not catastrophic damage and is
harming the water that we drink and the food that we eat. Greenhouse
Gases are contributing symptoms. WASTE is the root cause of All
environmental issues and we are working to correct it.

3. The Energy System is Highly Inefficient, Unintelligent, and
relies upon Mechanical Controls
Industrial Era Energy Systems
create environmental WASTE
from extraction, manufacturing,
production, and at the end of
their energy production life
cycle.
All energy use results in loss.
Here that loss is shown as
rejected / thermal energy
losses or waste heat.
Today, the US consumes 100.2
Quads or Quadrillion British
Thermal Units (BTU). A BTU is
a unit of measurement for
energy expressed as heat.
3,400 BTU = 1 kilowatt hour.
67.64 Quadrillion BTU’s or 19 Trillion kilowatt hours shown as Rejected Energy in the US alone is WASTE that is
mistakenly measured as GHG and a leading factor in Global Temperature increases.

4. The Pandemic Impacted Energy System is Highly Inefficient,
Unintelligent, and relies upon Mechanical Controls
In 2020 America used 7% less
energy than 2019. During this
period Solar generation
increased by 19% while Wind
grew 10%, Natural GAS was
down 2% and declined 11% in
the commercial sector. The
declines in use were offset by
increased use of Natural Gas
in the Electricity sector which
added to renewables and
reduced coal consumption.
Rejected energy dropped 7%
while use in residential
increased 2%. Thermal loss
continues to be the root cause
of loss in the US energy
system.
All energy use results in loss.
62.3 Quadrillion BTU’s shown as Rejected Energy in the US is WASTE that is mistakenly measured as GHG and a
leading factor in Global Temperature increases. Solar Farms will increase planetary temperature and WASTE

5. The Electric Grid Needs Help
GRID is a constant generation
source to plug model and is
largely mechanically controlled.
Renewables are variable
generation sources that
destabilize the grid in its
current construct. Its time to
rethink the grid and move to an
Dynamic Energy system.
The Legacy Electric ..
Deconstruct the grid to bring constant and variable
source systems together for reliability, efficiency,
performance, and increased stakeholder value.
Decentralize via Microgrids
There is no one size fits all solution for Microgrids
therefore each system must consist of the best
locally integrated sources and methods.
Become Nimble and Adaptive
Eliminate the Thermal and Environmental Waste
that is inherent to industrial era energy generation,
transmission, distribution and use.
Deliver Solutions that Eliminate WASTE
Modern Materials Science coupled with Machine
Intelligence increases the ability to deliver highly
efficient, environmentally beneficial Microgrid Solutions

A Network Services Platform that is based on a
common infrastructure system increases security,
reduces cost, reduces energy costs, and transforms
complexity into “operational services networks”
Energy Systems Resilience and efficiency
is impossible without the tight integration
of communication networks. It does not
matter if this is in a building, across a
campus, or across the country.

The Industrial Era Electric Grid is a highly inefficient and
wasteful Source to Plug marvel of engineering. Variable
Source Energy Systems – Wind, Solar and Hydro - can
not replace constant source generation systems.
Its like an apple where the core is the energy producers
or seeds. The ends of the core connect to the skin or
the grid. The grid (skin) delivers energy to the meat of
the apple or the residential, commercial and industrial
consumers of energy.
Wind and Solar are variable sources of production and require a
redesign of the grid if we are to achieve the same level of
service. The Grid must become Nimble and Intelligent while
retaining constant or national cross connects. We must retain
what has been built and avoid catastrophic failure resulting from
a rapid evolution to renewables and added electrification.
The Grid – Apples and Oranges
National Grid –or- Constant Source Generators become the
centerpoint of Microgrids. Microgrids adopt renewables and
consume or offer excess energy to each other while national grid
resources remain available as needed. Its simply a better balance.

13. The Smart City Elements
Decentralized Microgrids break up the industrial era energy
grid in favor of a more resilient, self-sustaining,
environmentally beneficial series of power generating
systems that help to offset the 60% loss of energy
generated, transmitted, distributed, and delivered to the
plugs in your home and business. A properly constructed
“SustaNET” delivers a community wide Hybrid Energy
Services Platform that services all electrical loads and
optimizes for efficiency, return, and profitability.
The Energy Services Platform
Centralized Network Services are not the communications
systems of the past and are necessary in every
Decentralized Microgrid today. These are highly secure,
high performance multi-service networks that improve
security and reduce costs while providing the Microgrid with
the physical, logical, and responsive control elements that
ensure optimum efficiency for formerly mechanical systems
while providing a multi-service property wide
communications infrastructure system.
