4 Indesit Company Overview 9 manufacturing centres

5 Indesit Company Overview Three Brands, a solution for every lifestyle. 4

6 Indesit Energy 1.0 approach MDAs are responsible for 43% of residential consumption TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY dishwasher Reducing the quantity of water Designing low energy cycles Using higher efficiency actuators and motors Bettering the thermodynamics -60% -75% washing machine fridge 5

7 From Energy 1.0 to 2.0 approach We reached outstanding results but. LIFECYCLE OF INNOVATION CURVE 6

8 Indesit Smart Appliances SMART HOME The Smart Appliance, endowed with additional intelligence and communication capability, becomes an energy actor in the Home Area Network ecosystem SMART GRID Smart Homes are connected to the new Smart Grid 7

9 Indesit Energy 2.0: values and services AWARENESS Energy Cost C0 2 footprint COORDINATED ENERGY MANAGEMENT Active planning and coordination DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT Flexibility in the energy usage to contribute to the grid balancing 8

10 The role of the smart appliances For an effective use of the energy, the Smart Appliance must have an active role in the energy management systems being able to completely control the processes as they are fully responsible for the final result offering, thanks to an active dialog with the customer and the energy sources, a valuable flexibility in terms of time and energy profile 9

11 The major CHALLENGES of this revolution FROM PRODUCT TO SYSTEM NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATION STANDARD Technology Protocol SYSTEM INTEGRATION Business Model: from products to services Appliance producers, Telcos and Energy Utilities as actors of the eco-system Utilities as new customers? CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Why customers should be happy of contributing to the system? Which simple mechanism for customer revenues? Avoid Big brother effect... 10

12 Indesit Smart Washing Machine Smart Aqualtis is the first Indesit WM designed to be integrated in Smart ecosystems, covering a wide range of use cases. Calculation, visualization and dispatch to the HAN of the energy and power consumption before and during the cycle execution Forecast and visualization of the estimated cost for the selected cycle based on time based tariff Visualization of the total power consumption of the house Coordination with the others connected appliances and to micro-generation to optimize the power consumption in the house Scheduling of the starting time to ensure the cheapest or the greenest cycle, always respecting the users constraints 11

13 The Smart Aqualtis speaks Protocol extensions for Smart Appliances: Power Profile sequence of Power phases, the basic uninterruptable elements The cycles are NO MORE MONOLITHIC Status Current Cycle and Phase Time To End Start and Finish Time Statistics To export a whole set of behavioral data Control Start, Stop, Pause Remote scheduling Events & Alerts Door opened Temperature reached Cycle ended 12

14 achievements Technical specifications of the Home Area Network protocol currently under standardization within the Zigbee Alliance An interoperable fully-integrated system comprising smart gateway, smart meter, smart plugs and smart domestic appliances Interoperability test events (including some ZigBee events hosted by An Italian field trial involving 50 users The Jouw Energie Moment field trial Foundation of the Association 13

15 Enexis Jouw Energie Moment Enexis is the independent network company of distribution networks Electricity clients km MV and LV cables transformer stations 14

16 Indesit Company in the Jouw Energie Moment We met Enexis at We immediately realized that our Smart Washing Machine fitted the field trial use cases and we left it to Enexis In 3 months, we integrated it to the system How? Sharing specs and documentation Using a lot of Skype Working hard, with passion and motivation Why? We loved since the first moment the idea of the project To disseminate the E@h protocol To better understand how the Value is divided between user, appliance manufacturer, utility 15

17 Enexis Jouw Energie Moment Existing Infrastructure designed to allow one-directional energy flows Incorporating bi-directional flows (distributed production) and increasing flexibility (intermittent sources) necessary Understand the customer reaction to a flexible usage of energy, based on economic incentive through time to use tariffs and the usage of micro generation (PV) inside the house. 16

18 Pilot Breda 60 energy neutral households Heat pump Solar panels Smart Washing Machine 250 CO2 neutral households Combined Heat and Power Collective Solar panel system Smart Washing Machine 17

19 Zwolle Pilot Muziekwijk 266 houses Solar panels Smart Washing Machine 18

20 Enexis Jouw Energie Moment Smart grid management system takes into account: the local generation (solar panel) the energy day ahead market the local capacity use of the distribution grid the weather forecast The participants will be rewarded by the decreased cost on their electricity bill and / or an emotional stimuli by using their solar panels more efficiently. 19

21 Enexis Jouw Energie Moment Demand Side Management - Promote energy efficiency and cost saving through time to use tariffs (cheap mode) - Promote eco-behavior and cost saving through PV generated energy (green mode) - Integration with the thermal control of the house where: The Netherland (Breda and Zwolle) What: 300+ Smart Aqualtis When: from Dec > Dec

22 Indesit Company in the Jouw Energie Moment What we learned? Public protocols, open specifications and a lively ecosystem of many different industries are the key success factors for interoperability Next challenges: Analyze the huge amount of data flowing from the premises And crossing the fingers for the customers reaction... 21
