Overview of the Linky Program 6 YEARS 35 5 Bn investment 2015 2021 Equipment Lifespan requirement: 20 years. A process of qualification and a dedicated lab, The Linkylab Million Smart Meters 700,000 Data Concentrators Offset by savings on -Non technical energy losses -Remote operations and meter reading - Optimization on Grid management Targets for the mass roll-out -At the peak of the rollout, 30 000 meters and 800 data concentrators installed per day -35 million meters replaced till the end of 2021 -A data collection rate close to 100% (daily basis) 10,000 jobs created in France (direct or indirect) (5,000 jobs for mass rollout)
Linky global benefits DSO New rates / offers Energy cost reduction Better customer care Customer Financial asset management Energy transition plans Employment Grid Adaptation Smart Grids Operational cost reduction Supplier Charge based on measurements vs estimates Remote and quicker services Rich rates and services and enhanced Demand control Local authorities

A tendering process to select partners The timetable for the qualification process : July 2013 August 2014 December 2015 Specifications Pilot series qualification Manufacturing steering Vendor RFP launch Vendor RFP award Mass roll out Start France Prime Minister announces the launch of the RFP to replace meters Awardees: Scaling up the qualification process
Linky meter : main features Electronic Meter ON OFF 1 Breaker The Smart meter is based on its predecessor platform (Solid state meter), and holds the same volume 2 Real time clock It implements 5 new major features 3 Firmware 4 PLC modem 5 Security
Technical requirements Requirements discussed with and validated by the main Stakeholders A technical architecture based on a worldwide standard, supported by the G3-PLC Alliance Services dedicated to the suppliers, the end customer, and the network operator A fully secured solution, with: G3-PLC embedded security mechanisms Encrypted data on the whole chain Phy secured elements at the concentration level Key information systems in a militarized zone Work running Linky organization with firewalls and limited individual possibilities A Linky system validated by ANSSI (same level as BSI in Germany or NSA in the US) A technology already exported in many other countries For any further information, please visit G3-PLC Alliance booth
Metering tests In addition to the suppliers tests, other tests are run or steered by Enedis, on prototypes and pilot series. Some tests are run by EDF R&D and external laboratories Firmware qualification Tests run by Enedis LinkyLab Unitary testing - conformance Protocol Functional Performance DC & M Hardware qualification Interoperability By supplier By production versions DC-M & M-M Stress tests Robustness Endurance Performance 1DC nm Enedis LinkyLab Pre-integration Detection Downloading Collect Services 1DC 1M EDF R&D tests Environment CEM Breaker & Relays TIC / Euridis / Other Metrology / Functional power tests DC & M DC & M M DC & M M Outsourced tests DC = Data Concentrator M = meter FW = Firmware HW = Hardware
Linky Lab : the largest metering lab in the world
Linky Roll Out : a leopard pattern strategy
A six years mass Roll Out 2016 2017 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 MASS ROLL-OUT Up to 8 million meters installed per year 35 000 000 2018 2019 2021
Roll Out status update Meters with G1 technology 2.5 million meters Meter with G3 technology 500 000 meters Communication system performance Data concentrator correctly mapped with the Linky system Meters correctly mapped with the Linky system Average rates 99 % 98 % Field Force Partners : More than 150 ongoing contracts Around 2000 people on the field > 8 meters installed per day per operator Daily meters reading 98 % Remote operations (one shot without retry) 96 %
Data journey Customer Once a day From the portal, the customer can access daily measurements and activate load curve recording (10, 30 or 60 minutes) Energy company (supplier) Once a day kwh Once a month Customer is charged monthly, based on a single register (at the end of the billing period) on request City, local authority The city monitors the results of energy efficiency upgrades of ecodistricts Data are agregated at various scales and anonymous

An hypervision center Linky activity on a daily basis. Key figures for 3 million meters in the field 1200 record books created 800 000 events LinkySup 90% issues solved automatically 200 000 events rejected 600 000 events checked 300 updates on a daily basis 5 000 actions launched 80% of them automatically created by the system
PDA for each fitter, connected to the Roll Out IS The PDA is connected to the meter /data concentrator during the intervention in order to program the device and to insure each step of the procedure is respected
