“Awesense, a startup using wireless mesh tech and software, has
launched to sell utilities energy theft-prevention. Didn’t know it
was such a problem? A Canadian utility has said it’s losing $100
million a year to theft; in India about 30 percent of power is used
illegally.”

“Awesense first tested its system with utility Fortis BC, and
while it hasn’t officially named BC Hydro as a customer, it
did win a $40,000 sustainability prize from British
Columbia’s biggest utility in 2011. The company is also
working with unnamed advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) vendors to integrate its data into their systems,
Steiner-Jovic said, though he didn’t name the partners
involved. Both Fortis BC and BC Hydro are using Cisco
and Itron for their smart meter deployments.”

“The idea that an estimated $202.2 billion in
electricity generated around the world each year
is lost to energy theft or equipment failure may
be hard to fathom. But a Vancouver, B.C.
startup that develops technologies to reduce
grid power losses puts it into more manageable
scenarios. Liz Enbysk

“By selling its services rather than its
equipment and software, Awesense
can serve utilities that don't want to
invest the capital or hire employees
to manage the sensor and data
collection.” Ucilia

“The IP they have is the combination
of the clamp sensor and the software
analytics to spot potential theft. It is a
relatively simple way to do that
doesn't require a lot of upfront
investment.”

Awesense Wireless has created a system that helps utilities solve one of the industry’s most persistent problems: unanticipated losses due to theft or
equipment failure. Approximately 30 percent of India’s power gets illegally siphoned off. In Brazil, 10,000 new unauthorized connections appear every
month. Even in established nations, bill fraud and meter tampering remain far-reaching problems. Unfortunately, utilities have historically lacked
economical or practical means to combat the problem, relying instead on warnings, inspections, lock boxes and hope. Awesense changes the paradigm
by giving utilities the ability to detect and anticipate problems over wide portions of a service territory through hardware, software and networking. The
Awesense system also provides verification, ongoing monitoring and data analysis while minimizing field operations or installed infrastructure. While
Awesense has already helped North American customers like Fortis BC and others recover tens of millions of dollars in losses, it has also begun to
collaborate with ELO Sistemas Eletronicos to bring the technology to Latin America. Awesense Wireless>>
Echelon -- I have known Echelon for many years and what continues to impress me is its ability to create solid products that resonate well with the
smart grid market. The company combines its history and the current market needs to create the right solution for the needs of today while they are able
to scale and expand their products for the future. They understand standards, trends and customers. I suggest you all take a good look at Echelon.

GELI -- I really do think that we'll look back on 2013 as the year that the many capabilities and cost of energy storage finally reached the tipping point.
GELI will be a big reason why. It's difficult to integrate and operate energy storage. GELI goes above and beyond that to optimize it across multiple value
streams such as Demand Charge Management, TOU Energy Shifting, Demand Response -- much more than just backup power -- all in the context of
the grid and the broader electricity market. GELI's core IP is what makes storage so compelling from a cost perspective, and its "interoperable by
design" architecture ensures that any combination of storage and inverters can be used in virtually any scenario. Few companies are poised to be as
disruptive as GELI. GELI website >>
IUS Technologies -- At IUS Technologies, they are innovators. They develop groundbreaking smart sensors ideal for end of line monitoring, which will
enable utilities to optimize to a more efficient electric grid. Their VS series of devices are like nothing else on the market today - both the VS 1000 and
VS 3000 sensors streamline the use of utility radio bandwidth, reducing communication loads up to 95%, and with up to 0.3% accuracy. Although this in
itself saves considerable time, bandwidth and resources - it is the precision, accuracy and cost which make IUS unique. There is no other sensor on the
market that provides this level of accuracy with the low cost of ownership. It is this scale which will allow utilities to place sensors approximately every
mile as necessary in order to create an extremely stable and reliable grid. Recently launched, IUS Technologies is a subsidiary of the Korean based
Vitzro Group and headquartered in Alpharetta, GA. IUS Technologies website >>
Power Analytics -- Continuing on the success of 2012, 2013 will be another banner year for Power Analytics. Power Analytics was just recently
selected to provide the first managed cluster of microgrids in a military environment by ESTCP (DoD's environmental technology demonstration and
validation program established in 1995 to promote the transfer of innovative technologies that have successfully established proof of concept to field or
production use). 2013 will be the beginning of the microgrid cluster concept at three naval bases in San Diego, CA. Under new leadership of CEO
Michael J. Nark, an aggressive marketing campaign will branch out into multiple market segments clamoring for smart grid technologies. Power
Analytics plans to do even more with strategic partners and technology enabling companies this year. On a technical front, Power Analytics will continue
to release enhanced versions of software. Power Analytics website >>
Sensus is leading the way for a NEW smart grid: one for water. In a groundbreaking 2012 survey of more than 180 utilities, Sensus found utilities are
losing $9.6 billion each year from leaked water and utilities worldwide can save up to $12.5 billion a year by implementing a smart water network.
Sensus continues to lead with products and solutions to meet the crisis head-on and by identifying the opportunity and a path toward a solution to justify
the investments by engaging a wide array of stakeholders to safeguard the supply of clean water – including utilities and municipalities, regulators,
investors, industry associations, technology providers and academia.Sensus is certainly worth watching in 2013 as the world grapples with how to
handle access to water. Sensus website >>

Article: A start-up emerges to use wireless mesh and the cloud to fight energy theft
Author: Katie Fehrenbacher
Awesense, a startup using wireless mesh tech and software, has launched to sell utilities energy theft-prevention. Didn’t know it
was such a problem? A Canadian utility has said it’s losing $100 million a year to theft; in India about 30 percent of power is used
illegally.
tweet this
Utilities call energy theft — like when an indoor marijuana farm taps directly into a high voltage line for its super bright lights — a “non-
technical loss” or a “commercial loss.” It’s a bizarrely mundane term to describe thefts which cost utilities billions of dollars in losses a
year around the world. For example, Canadian utility BC Hydro has estimated that it’s losing a shocking $100 million each year from
power theft.
That security problem is what a young Canadian startup called Awesense has emerged to tackle. The company, founded back in late 2009, has
developed a product that uses power line sensors connected through a wireless mesh network combined with a cloud-based application. Utility workers
can use the combo to remotely monitor and learn details about how much power their companies are actually distributing, versus how much power is
being measured by their billing systems. In other words, “how much revenue they’re losing,” as Awesense founder and CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic
explains it.
Awesense’s technology is a mobile solution — utility workers clamp on the power line sensors wherever they suspect theft is happening, and if no theft
is being detected they can simply move the network to another part of the grid. The sensor nodes create the ad-hoc mesh network amongst themselves
(via the 915 band in North America, for all you wireless spectrum geeks out there).
The capital expense of the networks are low enough that Awesense has now decided to start selling theft detection
as a service. Awesense will install the technology for utilities for no upfront cost, and then take a cut of the revenue
saved. Steiner-Jovic says over the past few years they’ve realized that there’s been a lot of interest from utilities for
the theft-detection product, but that utility budgets are often times small and rigid.
In addition to growing its theft detection-as-a-service this year, Awesense is hoping to grow its list of international
customers, where energy theft is a massive issue. Currently it has customers (it’s not disclosing the names other than Fortis BC) in Canada, the U.S.,
and Latin America, and it’s looking to expand more into Latin America as well as Asia Pacific and Europe. India has some of the highest theft losses in
the world, with close to 30 percent of the power in the country lost to theft (check out some photos of the crazy jerry-
rigged power grids of Old Delhi). The former Soviet Union has almost 50 percent. Brazil is at 15 percent.
To date, Awesense has been mostly bootstrapped, and just raised a “seven figure” round from angels last Summer.
Steiner-Jovic says the company could be interested in raising a venture round in the future to grow its business. Applying
IT tech to the power grid and clean energy is still an area where startups have been able to get funding from some
venture capitalists, despite the difficult funding environment for most cleantech.

Article: Startup Clamps Down on Energy Theft
Author: Martin LaMonica
Awesense attaches clamps to power lines to pinpoint sources of electricity theft, which costs utilities billions of dollars a year.
A clamp sensor is attached to a power line with standard power line tools and, through a cloud application, can help determine if
electricity is being lost through theft. Credit: Awesense. Billions of dollars worth of electricity is pilfered every year, sending power to
individual homes and businesses as well as more large operations, such as marijuana farms.
A study from the Electric Power Research Institute in 2006 estimated that “non-technical losses,” or losses from theft or tampering, was $6.5 billion. That
number is much higher in other countries where tapping into power lines is routine, both by people who can’t afford electricity as well as big companies
and the well-to-do, according to the World Bank, which says energy theft is particularly severe in India, Brazil, and other parts of Latin America.
Reducing energy theft is one of the justifications for advanced power meters because they are accurate and, since they continually send consumption
data to utilities, can quickly spot unusual activity. In 2009, the World Bank published an analysis of energy theft and recommended that advanced meters
be put in place because, among other reasons, theft raises the prices of electricity for others. Losses during distribution and transmission in India, for
example, were as high as 38 percent in 1999, which was cut to under 20 percent by 2008 in large part by controlling theft, according the World Bank.
But often thieves will simply tap power lines before they reach the meter or, for more sophisticated theives, draw power from high-voltage lines, says
Mischa Steiner-Jovic, the CEO of Awesense, a company he founded three years ago to tackle energy theft. Its theft-detection method doesn’t require
smart meters, offering a relatively simple and inexpensive way to pinpoint where power is being diverted illegally.
Awesense sells a sensor that a line worker attaches to power lines. The battery-powered clamp measures the amount of current flowing through,
calculates power consumption, and sends the data back to Awesense’s hosted application called SenseNET.
By comparing actual consumption to billed electricity, the back-end software can determine if some theft is happening in that area, usually within a day,
according to Steiner-Jovic. The clamp-on sensors are normally only in place temporarily and then moved to another spot.
On Tuesday Awesense is announcing a managed service where it will do the work of attaching monitors and generated the data. Instead of having a
utility buy the system, Awesense will be paid by sharing savings from throttling theft.
The system has been used by a “handful” of utilities in North America and the Vancouver-based company plans to expand into Europe in the first quarter
with pilot tests, Steiner-Jovic says. In its first trials, the company found theft can add between $50 to $200 in electricity bills a year. The company has
been funded by a round from angel investors last year.
It’s also a very dangerous to tap live power lines, which can cause shocks or fires, according to Michigan-based Consumers Energy which deals with
70,000 cases a year. “Not only is energy theft illegal it is also a safety threat - to those who tamper with electric utility equipment, to the general public
and to utility workers who can be injured or killed by hazards left behind by the culprit,” said Chuck Walls, vice president of customer financial operations
of ComEd in a release about its help in convicting a local man for stealing power.

Article: Startup fights power thieves, pot growers
Author: Kirsten Korosec
Billions of dollars worth of electricity is stolen each year by folks tapping into power lines to bring free
energy into their homes, businesses and increasingly, to their indoor pot growing operations. It’s an
incessant global problem that’s expected to get worse as demand for power grows.
Awesense, a Canadian startup that has remained largely under the radar since its founding in 2009, has
launched a service to help utilities curb power losses and recover revenue lost by theft, transformer
overloads and other equipment failures.
The company has developed a product called the SenseNET system, which combines hardware, data
analytics, networking and advanced monitoring to pinpoint power losses from equipment failures and
power diversion (aka theft) caused by meter tampering or wire “tapping.”
How it works
The heart of the system is the SenseNET Monitor, a networked sensor that clips onto transmission and distribution lines. Utility workers can attach a
networked sensor in less than two minutes with a hot stick or a truck to wirelessly monitor that particular section of the grid via a laptop or tablet in real
time. The sensors, which are connected through a wireless mesh network, can help the utility identify inefficiencies and power theft. Once the problem
has been fixed, the utility can move the sensors to a different section of the grid.
Canadian utility Fortis BC is using the sensor technology. An unnamed U.S. utility with about 34,000 meters and 1,800 miles of energized lines has
deployed the SenseNET system under a service contract. Utilities in Malaysia, Turkey, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic also will begin trials of the
service in the first quarter of the year.
In the past, Awesense sold its technology as a turn-key system to utilities. Now, the company is selling it as a service that doesn’t require the utility to
make an upfront capital investment. Once a utility signs on and begins using the service, Awesense is paid through a percentage of recovered revenue.
Global problem
Those recovered revenues could be substantial. In India alone, about 27 percent of the power generated gets siphoned off through theft, costing the
nation’s distribution companies an estimated $16 billion a year, according to India’s Central Electricity Authority. Globally, $202 billion worth of electricity
generated is lost each year due to technical failures or theft, according to World Bank estimates.
Energy theft is a problem in developed nations as well. Energy diversion, like when an illegal pot growing operation taps into a power line, costs U.S.
utilities an estimated $6 billion a year, making electricity the third most stolen commodity behind credit card information and cars, according to data
provided by Awesense.

Article: How a Startup Helps Utilities Spot Energy Theft
Author: Ucilia Wang (Contributing Editor)
SAN FRANCISCO -- Stealing electricity costs not only utilities but also the consumers who help to pay for the costs of producing and transporting power.
A startup called Awesense is using sensors and data analytics to help utilities detect energy theft and improve the efficiency of the grid.
The company, founded in 2009 and located in Vancouver in Canada, recently signed up a U.S. utility that agreed to use Awesense's new sales model,
said Mischa Steiner-Jovic, CEO ofAwesense. Instead of selling the equipment and software outright, Awesense can finance the equipment installation
and data crunching and make money by getting a percentage of the revenue that comes from stopping the energy theft or charging a fee. Steiner-Jovic
declined to disclose the name of the utility that has opted for the service contract.
Power companies in Malaysia, Turkey, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic also plan to carry out trials of Awesense' technology starting this quarter, he
added. Fortis BC in British Columbia is one of its customers.
About $220 billion worth of electricity gets lost annually because of theft or technical problems with the grid, according to a report by the World Bank in
2009. Most of the losses aren't due to technical problems, though. Energy theft is a big problem in India: about 27 percent is diverted illegally, according
to its government. Theft amounts to $6 billion per year in the U.S., according to the same report.
"Most power thefts bypass the meters, so it's difficult for utilities to determine where they are occurring," Steiner-Jovic said.
The startup's technology consists of portable sensors that are about 10-inches tall by 1-inch wide and 4-inches deep and weigh less than a kilogram
each. Utility workers can clip them onto wires, where the sensors would measure the current and calculate the energy (in kilowatt-hours) that flows
through the line. Through the startup's own wireless network, the data goes back to Awesense's data center for analysis and are accessible by its utility
customers.
The company has designed its technology for the distribution grid because that is where power theft most commonly takes place. The distribution grid
also is less efficient than the transmission grid because it takes power from the high-voltage transmission lines, lowers the voltages along the way and
sends the electricity to homes and businesses.
The amount of sensors and how closely they are to one another depend on what a utility wants to accomplish. If it wants to simply monitor the energy
flow to a line that serves, say, 100 homes, then it could install one sensor on that line. If it wants to pinpoint more precisely where energy losses are
occurring, then it would move sensors around or add more of them to home in on the cause, which could be theft or technical problems.
The data gives a utility good figures on how much energy flows through and is used in a particular area, Steiner-Jovic said. Otherwise they figure out
overall losses based mostly on numbers that show how much power they've generated or bought and how much they have sold.
Because Awesense's equipment takes stock of the energy flow and demand, it also could help utilities figure out where they need to add new distribution
lines or install power generation equipment, such as solar energy systems, to feed the demand.
By selling its services rather than its equipment and software, Awesense can serve utilities that don't want to invest the capital or hire employees to
manage the sensor and data collection. It also reduces risk for utilities, which are known to take a while to adopt new technologies and would likely
prefer to buy a service rather than invest in equipment from a startup that may not stick around long enough to provide maintenance and fulfill
warranties. Awesense raised its first equity round last year, but Steiner-Jovic declined to say how much.

January 22, 2013
President Obama (above) began his second administration with a renewed call for dealing
with climate change. Taking a swipe at climate skeptics, he said the country must renew
the quest to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. Environmentalists hailed the
renewed emphasis but were still waiting to see more action.
The most obvious test for the Administration will be the decision on whether or not to build
theKeystone Pipeline. Canadians are growing more skeptical that approval will be
forthcoming and Americans both pro and con are calling for a quick decision. Meanwhile,
Gal Luft, writing on Foreign Policy, urged the President to “end the oil monopoly” by
allowing fuels such as natural gas to power automobiles.
The Al Qaeda attack on the Algerian gas outpost has claimed 85 dead, three Americans among them. Seven other Americans survived. The attack was
apparently an inside job with a former driver at the complex providing information that gave the attackers full knowledge of the complex. Algeria is
promising to beef up security but also points out that it was a Canadian citizen who coordinated the operation.
Energy theft is becoming a leading world problem as hackers find it easy to steal electricity from power lines. USAID has promised to help Pakistan deal
with the problem and both Indiahas launched a crackdown. Sri Lanka has managed to cut pilfering by imposing heavy fines. In the US, Awesense, a
small startup, has invented a sensor that can help utilities locate places where power is being drained illegally. But just to top the utilities’
troubles, OilPrice reports amalicious software attack last October kept a major power plant offline for three weeks.
Finally, Inside Climate News reports that tax credits for the wind industry have become so appealing that non-energy companies such as Sprint,
Starbucks and Levi Strauss are looking to invest. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reports that wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, hydro and
tidal energy together added nearly half the new capacity in the US last year. Power Engineering says that renewables are still confined to niche markets,
however, and a Vermont energy expert has told New Hampshire that wind works best in the Midwest and will get very little benefit to mountainous New
England.
One other item that shouldn't escape notice. Jerome Corsi, writing on WND Money, reports that the US is quietly easing the rules allowing Chinese
ownership of oil and gas properties in the US. The reason? We're afraid that if we deny ownership, China might stop lending us money. As they say,
you get what you pay for.

Article: Awesense Wireless and the Movable Smart Grid
Author: Jeff St. John
The distribution power grid -- the part of the grid that carries medium- and low-
voltage electricity from substations to end users -- is mostly “dark” nowadays, with
little in the way of sensors or data for utilities to use to map out just what problems
those parts of the grid are facing, let alone how to fix them.
Bringing light to that darkened distribution grid is the goal of the sensors,
communications and control systems that make up distribution management and
automation systems. DA is a big and growing business -- GTM Research
predicts the U.S. market alone will grow from an annual $1.75 billion in 2012 to peak
at just more than $3 billion in 2015.
All of that gear is designed to sit out on the grid for decades, hopefully returning its
value in improved grid efficiencies and new capabilities over time. But what if a utility
could move its networked sensors from one section of the grid to another, testing
each out, discovering its inefficiencies and fixing them, and then move on?
That’s the idea behind Awesense Wireless, a Vancouver, Canada-based startup founded in 2009 that’s landed some significant utilities as customers,
including hometown Fortis BC andBrazil’s ELO Sistemas Electronicos late last year.
Awesense, which announced last month that it raised an undisclosed round of funding, has mainly deployed as a turnkey service to date, selling utilities
its equipment and training workers to go out and deploy and manage the system. On Monday, it launched a service-based version of the business,
which will allow utilities to pay for the deployment via a revenue-sharing agreement -- and, potentially, allow the startup to expand to customers that
might be leery of investing in all the gear upfront.
The company already has one U.S. utility with approximately 34,000 meters and 1,800 miles of lines using senseNET under just such a service contract,
CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic said in a phone interview. It’s also working with utilities in Malaysia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic, which plan to
begin trials in the first quarter of this year.
“The distribution portion of the grid is the most inefficient portion of the grid,” Steiner-Jovic said. Today, utilities use antiquated methodology to find these
losses, based on math that tries to get around the lack of data, he said. “We’ve automated the entire process for them, and added a lot of technology,”
he said. “In one or two days, they can identify where the loss is occurring, as opposed to weeks and months of analysis.”
Awesense’s senseNET system combines line sensor devices, which can be dropped onto distribution cables by utility workers using so-called “hot-stick”
methods -- no climbing poles and rewiring grid circuitry required. A typical project might include several hundred such sensors, put out over the course of
a few days and connected via the company’s own 900-megahertz band mesh networking.
Once they’re up there, the devices self-network and draw back tons of data on power quality, which feeds into the senseNET software suite that helps
identify key inefficiencies. Those can include technical losses, such as worn-out transformers or sections of current experiencing phase problems -- but it
can also include so-called “non-technical” losses, which is a fancy term for power theft.
Awesense first tested its system with utility Fortis BC, and while it hasn’t officially named BC Hydro as a customer, it did win a $40,000 sustainability
prize from British Columbia’s biggest utility in 2011. The company is also working with unnamed advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors to
integrate its data into their systems, Steiner-Jovic said, though he didn’t name the partners involved. Both Fortis BC and BC Hydro are using Cisco and
Itron for their smart meter deployments.

Many of the utilities working with Awesense are rolling the costs into their grid operations and management budgets, he added -- a move that allows
utilities to avoid having to make a rate case for capital investments. That’s a testament to the fact that deploying sensors to gather data, then moving
them on to the next section of the grid, is a lot cheaper than installing a lot of permanent sensors on all those portions of the grid. Just how much
cheaper, Steiner-Jovic didn’t say, though he described the cost as a fraction of what would be required for a full-blown DA deployment.
It’s an interesting approach to a problem that utilities are only just beginning to tackle. The World Bank estimates that $202 billion worth of electricity
generated is lost per year due to technical failures or theft. Some emerging economies, such as India and Brazil, can see those losses rise as high as 30
percent to 40 percent -- but North America, which has a minimal power theft problem in comparison, still loses about $6 billion a year to “energy
diversion,” according to World Bank figures.
British Columbia in particular suffers from power stolen to fuel illegal marijuana grow operations, with estimates of the resulting power loss ranging from
$12 million in 2003 to $100 million in 2010. Interestingly, one key problem in proving such theft figures is the lack of data of the auditable quality that
Awesense’s system delivers -- making the smart grid a tool in courts of law, as well as in the utility control room.
Not surprisingly, however, Steiner-Jovic declined to comment on whether any of Awesense’s clients were using its capabilities to bust power-stealing pot
grows or other illegal operations -- after all, thieves are on the lookout for utility workers who might be spying on their power use.

Article: and a cloud to quarrel appetite theft
Author: Chrish Owell
Utilities call appetite burglary — like when an indoor pot plantation taps directly into a high voltage line for a super splendid
lights — a “non-technical loss” or a “commercial loss.” It’s a bizarrely paltry tenure to report thefts that cost utilities billions of
dollars in waste a year around a world. For example, Canadian focus BC Hydro has estimated that it’s losing a intolerable
$100 million any year from appetite theft.
That confidence problem is what a immature Canadian startup called Awesense has emerged to tackle. The company,
founded behind in late 2009, has grown a product that uses appetite line sensors connected by a wireless filigree network
total with a cloud-based application. Utility workers can use a combo to remotely guard and learn sum about how many
appetite their companies are indeed distributing, contra how many appetite is being totalled by their billing systems. In other
words, “how many income they’re losing,” as Awesense owner and CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic explains it.
Awesense’s record is a mobile resolution — focus workers clamp on a appetite line sensors wherever they think burglary is happening, and if no
burglary is being rescued they can simply pierce a network to another partial of a grid. The sensor nodes emanate a ad-hoc filigree network among
themselves (via a 915 rope in North America, for all we wireless spectrum geeks out there).
The collateral responsibility of a networks are low adequate that Awesense has now
motionless to start offered burglary showing as a service. Awesense will implement
a record for utilities for no upfront cost, and afterwards take a cut of a income saved.
Steiner-Jovic says over a past few years they’ve satisfied that there’s been a lot of
seductiveness from utilities for a theft-detection product, though that focus budgets
are mostly times tiny and rigid.
In further to flourishing a burglary detection-as-a-service this year, Awesense is
anticipating to grow a list of general customers, where appetite burglary is a large
issue. Currently it has business (it’s not disclosing a names other than Fortis BC) in
Canada, a U.S., and Latin America, and it’s looking to expand some-more into Latin
America as good
as Asia Pacific and
Europe. India has some of a top burglary waste in a world, with tighten to 30 percent of
a appetite in a nation mislaid to burglary (check out some photos of a crazy jerry-rigged
appetite grids of Old Delhi). The former Soviet Union has roughly 50 percent. Brazil is
during 15 percent.
To date, Awesense has been mostly bootstrapped, and only lifted a “seven figure” turn
from angels final Summer. Steiner-Jovic says a association could be meddlesome in
lifting a try turn in a destiny to grow a business. Applying IT tech to a appetite grid and
purify appetite is still an area where startups have been means to get appropriation
from some try capitalists, notwithstanding a difficult appropriation sourroundings for
many cleantech.

Article: A start-up fight thieves energy and illegal connections to the electricity network
Author: Bernard Neumeister
Billions of dollars of electricity is stolen each year by people who draw on power lines to get free energy for their
homes, businesses and more to their operations to their operations in pot of growing indoors. This is an ongoing
global problem is expected to worsen as demand for energy grows.
Awesense, a Canadian start-up that has remained largely unknown since its founding in 2009, has launched a service to help
reduce the loss of energy utilities and recover revenue lost by theft, overloading of transformers and other failures equipment.
The company has developed a system called the SenseNET, which combines hardware product, data analysis, networking and advanced monitoring to
identify energy losses from equipment failures and power bypass (such as theft) caused by meter tampering or illegal connections to the son
How does it work?
The heart of the system is SenseNET monitor, a sensor network that clips on transmission lines and distribution. The public employees can establish a
sensor network in less than two minutes with a hot stick or truck to wirelessly control this particular section of the electrical network via a laptop or tablet
in real time . The sensors that are connected by a wireless mesh network can help the utility to identify inefficiencies and energy theft. Once the problem
has been resolved, the utility can move the sensor to another section of the grid.
The operator of Canadian utility Fortis BC uses sensor technology. A service of American public service
anonymously about 34,000 meters and 2,900 km of power lines SenseNET deployed the system via a
service contract. Public services in Malaysia, Turkey, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic will also begin testing
the service in the first quarter of the year.
In the past, Awesense sold its technology as a turnkey system for utilities. Now the company sells as a
service that does not require for the public service to make a initial capital investment. Once the public
service sign and begins to use the service, Awesense is paid via a percentage of revenue recovered.
A global problem
These revenues collected could be considerable. In India, about 27% of the electricity produced is "siphoned off" by the theft, which costs the distribution
companies in the country, an estimated $ 16 billion per year total, according to the Central Electricity Authority in India. Globally, 202 billion dollars of
electricity is lost each year due to technical failures or theft, according to estimates by the World Bank.
Energy theft is also a problem in developed countries. Diversion of energy, such as illegal connection to a power
line, cost U.S. utilities, an estimated 6 billion per year, which makes electricity, 3rd product after the most stolen card
data credit and cars, according to data provided by Awesense.

Article Utilities no longer need to buy SenseNet to benefit from it
Author:
Awesense is offering a new service-based business model for its SenseNet product that helps utilities cut power losses and recover lost revenue from
theft, transformer overloads and other problems. No upfront investment is needed, the Canadian firm added.
British Columbia IOU Fortis BC is using the technology now, Awesense said. Utilities in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Malaysia and Turkey plan to start
trials of the SenseNet service this quarter, it added, and an unnamed US utility with about 34,000 meters is deploying SenseNet under the service
contract deal.
Before adding the service-based approach, Awesense sold SenseNet to utilities. The new deal compensates the firm through a percentage of verified,
recovered revenue or a fee.
SenseNet is “a comprehensive, economical solution combining hardware, data analytics, networking and advanced power monitoring for identifying,
characterizing and verifying power losses from equipment failures as well as power diversion caused by meter tampering or wire ‘tapping',” the firm said.
The system serves as a planning tool for grid operators and power providers, helping customers pinpoint potential vulnerabilities before major losses or
failures occur.
The World Bank estimated $202 billion of power generated is lost per-year due to technical failures or theft, Awesense said, citing India as a prime
example. In Ireland, power theft grew by 50% since 2009, the firm said.
In the Brazilian capitol of Rio de Janeiro, some experts have said the power lost each year to theft “could provide power to 6.2 million homes,” Marcos
Rizzo, VP of business development of ELO Sistemas Eletronicos, said in prepared remarks. ELO is collaborating with Awesense in Latin American
markets, Awesense said.
SenseNet monitors can characterize the power use at up to 100 locations with 99% accuracy, Awesense added.

Article: Awesense Releases SenseNET Service for Economically Reducing Power Losses Due to Theft and
Equipment Failure
Author: Editor
Awesense has announced a new service offering based on its SenseNET solution that will help utilities curb power losses and recover lost revenue due
to theft, transformer overloads and other problems without any upfront investment. The SenseNET system is a comprehensive, economical solution
combining hardware, data analytics, networking and advanced power monitoring for identifying, characterizing and verifying power losses from
equipment failures as well as power diversion caused by meter tampering or wire “tapping.”
The company’s technology is currently in use helping North American customers like Fortis BC and others recover tens of millions of dollars in avoidable
power losses. The SenseNET system also serves as a planning tool for grid operators and power providers, providing customers the opportunity to
pinpoint potential vulnerabilities before major losses or failures occur.
While Awesense to date has sold SenseNET technology systems to utilities, the new SenseNET Service will permit utilities to obtain the benefits of the
technology through a managed service offering. Under the new program, Awesense will collaborate with utility customers on designing, implementing
and managing loss reductions initiatives. Awesense will then be compensated through a percentage of verified, recovered revenue or through a fee.
Utilities do not need to make independent capital investments or dedicate funds from operating budgets: the SenseNET Service effectively becomes a
supplemental source of revenue.
A U.S. utility with approximately 34,000 meters and 1,800 miles of energized lines has already begun to deploy the SenseNET system under a service
contract. The utility loses an estimated 5 percent of its generated power to losses. Utilities in Malaysia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic will
begin trials of the SenseNET Service in the first quarter of 2013 while other utilities are beginning to evaluate the service offering.
“Unanticipated power losses are a growing global problem. Utilities generate billions of dollars of power every year that they don’t get compensated for
and that never gets to their customers,” said Awesense CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic. “Unanticipated power losses and electricity theft also cause fires,
power shortages, injuries among other problems. This is not a victimless crime.”
The World Bank estimates that $202 billion worth of electricity generated is lost annually due to technical failures or theft. In India, approximately 27
percent of the electricity generated gets siphoned off through theft while the peak power demand on average exceeds supply by 9 percent, according to
the Ministry of Energy. Equipment failures and power diversion are often the root cause of India’s chronic widespread blackouts, such as the power
failures of August 2012 that left 640 million residents without power. Power loss cut India’s economic growth by an estimated 1.2 percent annually,
according to government statistics.
Even in the U.S. and Europe losses are staggeringly high: energy diversion costs U.S. utilities and their customers an estimated $6 billion a year in the
U.S., making energy the third most stolen commodity, right behind credit card information and cars. The challenges in catching perpetrators—which can
range from individuals to sophisticated marijuana growing operations–often prevents utilities and law enforcement from taking adequate steps to stop it.
In Ireland, power theft has increased by 50 percent since 2009.
SenseNET changes the dynamic by greatly reducing the capital, equipment and personnel needed to stop power losses while at the same time giving
grid operators and utilities an enhanced ability to find power losses. The heart of the system is the SenseNET Monitor, a highly accurate, networked
sensor that clips onto transmission and distribution lines. SenseNET Monitors can characterize the power consumption at up to 100 locations at the
same time with a 99 percent plus accuracy. Field crews can attach one in less than two minutes with a hot stick or truck. SenseNET Monitors can also
be deployed underground.
TheSenseNET Suite is a complimentary software platform for analyzing data and managing ongoing operations. SensNET Prioritizer detects
abnormalities and prioritizes loss recovery efforts: it mines field data along with data from meter data management and billing systems. SenseNET
CORE, meanwhile, is employed to visualize data, generate reports, identify situations requiring immediate attention and exchange information with
SenseNET Monitors, networking equipment and other components.

“The electricity lost in Rio de Janeiro alone annually could provide power to 6.2 million homes by some estimates. Providing effective solutions to reduce
losses and protect revenue is part of our strategy for Brazil and other Latin American countries,” said Marcos Rizzo, vice president of business
development of ELO Sistemas Eletronicos, which is collaborating with Awesense in Latin American markets

Article: Awesense Announces Launch of its New SenseNET Service
Author: Shankar Pandiath,
Awesense, the leading provider of advanced technologies to economically reduce grid power loss, announced the launch of its new service based on the
groundbreaking SenseNET solution.
The latest SenseNET-based service offering will help utilities to prevent power loss due to transformer overloads, theft, or other problems, without any
form of upfront investment.
The SenseNET solution, on which Awesense’s new service offering is based, is a comprehensive yet economical system that combines the power of
data analytics, hardware, networking and latest monitoring technology to identify, characterize and verify loss of power from equipment failure. The
system also identifies and verifies power diversion caused due to wiretapping or meter tampering.
Story continues below
The SenseNET solution by Awesense is currently deployed in North America, helping clients like Fortis BC and others utilities to efficiently recover ten
million dollars in “avoidable power loss,” due to theft or equipment failure.
This revolutionary system by Awesense has also been designed as an effective planning tool for power providers and grid operators, enabling them to
accurately identify the potential susceptibilities before any major failure or power loss occurs.
Awesense has deployed SenseNET technology only to utilities till date, but the latest SenseNET service will allow the utilities to access the core benefits
of this technology via “managed service offering.”
Talking about power loss, Mischa Steiner-Jovic, the Chief Executive Officer of Awesense, stated that the unexpected power loss is fast emerging as a
major problem. Despite investing billions of dollars in power every year, the utilities and power providers don’t get compensated for same as it never
reaches the customers. There are increasing instances of power theft and electricity loss, in addition to other major problems such as power shortage,
fire and injuries – “this is indeed a crime,” added Mischa.
According to an estimate by the World Bank, almost $202 billion worth of power is lost every year due to theft or equipment failures. However,
SenseNET solution will transformsthis dynamics by way of drastically reducing equipment, capital, and people needed to prevent power loss.
SenseNET Monitor is a highly networked, accurate sensor that is clipped into distribution and transmission lines. It can characterize power consumption
at up to 100 locations with more than 99% accuracy, and can also be used underground.
Under the new service program, Awesense will partner with utilities and grid operators to design, implement, and manage power loss initiatives and
reductions. The company will be compensated on a basis of a percentage of verified and recovered power revenue for the utilities or through a fixed
amount of fee.

Article: Canadian startup puts a collection agency spin on stopping electricity theft
Author: Liz Enbysk
The idea that an estimated $202.2 billion in electricity generated around
the world each year is lost to energy theft or equipment failure may be hard
to fathom. But a Vancouver, B.C. startup that develops technologies to
reduce grid power losses puts it into more manageable scenarios.
According to Awesense:
 Energy diversion costs U.S. utilities an estimated $6 billion
annually – making energy the third most stolen commodity right behind
credit card information and cars
 Power loss and equipment failure are so out of control in India that government statistics suggest it cuts the country's economic growth 1.2%
annually
 The amount of electricity lost in Rio de Janeiro each year could provide power to 6.2 million homes by some estimates, says an ELO Sistemas
Electronicos VP
I talked with Awesense founder and CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic, who uses words like "astronomical" and "almost unbelievable" when he describes the
amount of money utilities – and their customers – lose each year.
"Utilities generate billions of dollars of power every year that they don't get compensated for and never gets to their customers," he says. And those
power losses are passed along, adding $50 to $200 to customer electricity bills each year.
So as Steiner-Jovic puts it, "it's not a victimless crime," especially if you factor in the fires, power outages and injuries that can result.
But catching culprits – who may be individuals trying to avoid high electric bills or sophisticated marijuana grow operations – can be challenging.
And all of that is what intrigued the engineer in Steiner-Jovic, who founded Awesense Wireless in 2009 to solve the power loss problem. Awesense
prototyped its SenseNET solution with Fortis BC in 2010 and then started selling it to other utilities. We told you last month in a story onenergy theft
going from bad to worse about the company's partnership with ELO Sistemas in Latin America.
SenseNET combines hardware, data analytics, networking and advanced power monitoring to identify power
losses from both equipment failures and diversion caused by meter tampering or line tapping. Basically
sensors are clamped onto distribution lines using a hot stick or truck and each sensor can monitor power
consumption at up to 100 locations at the same time. So a utility might deploy several hundred sensors,
which can then be moved around to cover a broad area. Communication is via a self-creating wireless mesh
network.
Steiner-Jovic will tell you that SenseNET is quick and easy to deploy, with rapid ROI. He points to one
customer that achieved payback in a week. And now it gets even more interesting.
Awesense recently announced a no-cost SenseNET-as-a-service offering that has the company collaborating
with utilities to design, implement and manage loss reduction initiatives. Awesense is paid through a
percentage of recovered revenue, sort of a collection agency model for utilities that don't have the budget or wherewithal to tackle the problem
otherwise. Or as Awesense sees it, the SenseNET service becomes a "new" revenue source for utilities. One U.S. utility is already deploying it and
Steiner-Jovic says trials are set to begin this quarter in Europe and Asia.

Article: Turkey prepares to hand $5bn to US biz for intelligent electricity
Author: Bill Ray
Turkey will spend $5bn over the next two years creating a smart grid to cope with increased energy consumption, and buying plenty of American kit with
which to do it.
The US consulate in Istanbul put out the figure, Bloomberg notes, as it promotes a two-day conference on the subject. The conference itself is
sponsored by the US Trade and Development Agency, which will see US companies pitching intelligent networks to Turkish utilities, and government
reps, as well as discussing the regulatory environment which will be necessary to meet Turkey's energy needs.
This isn't just about Smart Meters, which only manage consumption in cloud-cuckoo land where everyone uses less power thanks to an LCD screen
smiling at them: this is about generating power in the right place and delivering across the country at the right time, while making sure no one steals it en
route.
The latter is such a problem that a company like Awesense is now offering to trace thefts for free, in exchange for a cut of the saved revenue. Awesense
is a US startup which uses clamps placed on electricity lines, measuring current flow by induction and capable of creating a dynamic mesh (in the ISM
band at 915MHz) to get the data back to the office. Check the flow at two ends of a wire - and if the loss is higher than predicted, you've found a thief.
Just move the clamps and you'll know where they are.
Awesense is already involved in Turkey, but is typical of the way an intelligent electricity grid can be more efficient without relying on consumers to use
less. Last year Turkish energy consumption rise by more than 5 per cent, while production only grew 4.2 per cent, so better solutions are needed.
But creating a Smart Grid will mean working together, and the Istanbul skyline is (as far as your correspondent is aware) the only one in the world
graced with multiple TV transmission masts, because the broadcasters couldn't come to a sharing agreement, which bodes badly for cooperative
agreements.
American companies will have high hopes of selling kit into Turkey, and following the historical route into the Middle East and beyond - Turkey will make
an excellent showcase for what a smart grid can achieve, assuming it can achieve it. ®

Wavefront alumnus Mischa Steiner-Jovic developed
SenseNET, used by power utilities around to world to
detect power theft | Dominic Schaefer
By Nelson BennettTue Feb 12, 2013 12:01am PST
Power utilities around the world lose an estimate $200
billion annually to electricity theft and equipment failure.
That might explain the growth of Vancouver startup
Awesense, which developed a mobile sensor that power
companies can connect to power lines to identify power
losses on their grids.
The company’s headcount has grown to 16 from two in
2009, and it has landed contracts with major power
companies in Canada, the U.S. and South America.
RewardLoop, which developed a QR-code based
customer reward system, has seen similar growth. It has
also struck a major partnership deal with Epson, which will embed RewardLoop in its next generation of printers for point-of-sales systems, 85% of which
use the Epson printer language. The printers will be able to calculate sales and rewards, which the customer can collect by scanning a QR printed on
the receipt.
Awesense and RewardLoop are both alumni of an accelerator program at Wavefront, which is doing a bit of accelerating of its own.
The wireless accelerator recently took on additional floor space at Guinness Tower on West Hastings Street to accommodate an expansion to allow for
more high-tech startups to participate in its programs, like BC Innovation Council’s venture accelerator.
The expansion opens up space for up to 175 entrepreneurs. Wavefront plans to graduate 50 startups over the next 30 months.
The venture accelerator program at Wavefront provides participants with office space, mentoring and access to a wireless lab for testing a range of
hardware and software. It also helps participants access foreign markets and connects them with investors.
“What we got out of the program was a good path to commercialization,” said Awesense co-founder and CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic, who spent a year in
Wavefront’s accelerator program.
“We were well on our way to closing deals here in Canada, but we had nothing in the pipeline. We didn’t know how we were going to expand. We are
[now] an international company and have product in Canada, the U.S., South America and Brazil [and] we’ll be in Europe.”
Because of Wavefront’s connections, investors take companies that have been referred to them by the organization seriously.
“When we phone a targeted investor and make an introduction, it’s treated differently than when that small company calls directly,” said Wavefront CEO
James Maynard. “It set us up for success,” said RewardLoop co-founder Nigel Malkin. “They made introductions that led to virtually all of our funding.
They spend every waking hour trying to figure out how they can help us. We’ve raised over $1 million in financing.”

Article: Energy Theft Goes Global
Author: Sarah Battaglia
When you hear the phrase “electricity theft,” you may automatically picture places like India or Brazil where the number of power outages is
astounding. Unfortunately, electricity thieves can be found in nearly every country across the globe, including the U.S. Whether it’s performing illegal
hookups, tampering with meters, or stealing copper wire from substations, over $200 billion in electricity is lost each year due to equipment failure or
electricity thieves. In the U.S. alone, this crime costs roughly $6 billion annually, which makes it the third most stolen commodity following credit card
information and vehicles.
Reducing, and eventually eliminating, this unlawful activity is one reason why utilities want to install more advanced power meters. Recording consumer
data on a regular basis will assist utilities in detecting any unusual activity, therefore decreasing the amount of money utilities lose and abolishing
additional price hikes for customers.
Brazilian utilities are improving their smart meter technology and working to install these devices on the outside of homes or on top of electricity poles, as
opposed to inside residents’ homes. Last year, a Bloomberg article covering this topic stated, “The meters can detect unusually heavy demand, which
may signal an illegal hookup. They can also be used to shut off service to households and businesses that don’t pay their bills. The devices remove the
human factor from the equation, so customers can no longer collude with dishonest meter readers to cheat the power company.”
Awesense, a Vancouver-based company dedicated to confronting energy theft, is taking another approach to put an end to this crime. According to
Mischa Steiner-Jovic, CEO of Awesense, “Utilities generate billions of dollars of power every year that they don’t get compensated for and never gets to
their customers.”
The company’s theft-detection system features a simple device that has the ability to identify where electricity is being diverted. A small sensor can be
attached to power lines to measure the amount of current flowing through. The sensor will calculate electricity consumption and deliver the data back to
Awesense through their application called SenseNET. Once a comparison of billed electricity and actual consumption is analyzed, the software can then
determine if and where theft is occurring.
The company is working with utilities located in Turkey, Bulgaria, Malaysia, and the Czech Republic, underlining the fact that electricity theft is becoming
a global problem that continues to get worse. Recent incidents have been recorded in a number of different countries. Over the last three years,
Ireland’s major energy supplier has noticed a 50 percent growth in offenders tampering with meter boxes. Last year, a man was sentenced to prison
after stealing copper wire from a PECO substation. It took about two years for a woman in Connecticut to be caught stealing over $3,000 worth of
electricity. Ninety people were suspected as participants of a scheme to help restaurants in Hong Kong lower their utility bills, which eventually cost the
utility millions.
These are just a few examples of how electricity thieves can be located all over the world and how extreme this type of crime can be. Aside from
damage to utilities, electricity theft is a dangerous activity. Tampering with live power lines may result in severe shock, fire, and even death. “Not only is
energy theft illegal, it is a safety threat- to those who tamper with electric utility equipment, to the general public and to utility workers who can be injured
or killed by hazards left behind by the culprit,” stated Chuck Walls, vice president of customer financial operations of ComEd. Some may think electricity
theft is a victimless crime, but judging by Walls’ statement and the effects on innocent customers, that cannot be farther from the truth.

Business development initiative to accelerate growth of innovative cleantech small and medium-sized enterprises abroad
March 12, 2013 - The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, announced today in New York City
that 10 promising Canadian start-up companies have been selected as the inaugural class for a new Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) program
for the clean technology (“cleantech”) sector.
“Our government’s top priority remains jobs, growth and long-term prosperity,” said Minister Fast. “To support these efforts, we are committed to helping
small and medium-sized enterprises succeed abroad. This new Canadian Technology Accelerator program—one of six such programs—brings
innovators together with like-minded Canadian companies to accelerate the companies’ access to fast-growing, dynamic markets abroad and in turn
create new high-value jobs at home.”
Canada’s Canadian Technology Accelerator initiative provides Canadian start-up companies with access to unique resources and contacts that can help
them grow internationally. The new program is the first CTA dedicated solely to the fast-growing clean technology sector. It is managed as a joint
partnership among the Canadian consulates general in New York City and San Francisco, with the support of the Business Development Bank of
Canada and Sustainable Development Technology Canada.
By leveraging resources available in New York City and Silicon Valley, participating companies will develop business growth opportunities throughout
the United States and globally through access to the global value chains and multinational corporations in these markets and the risk capital that flows
through them.
REGEN Energy Inc., an industry-leading wireless electrical energy management provider from Ontario, was selected to participate in this new program.
“We are thrilled to be selected for the CTA cleantech program because of the impressive calibre of the participants and networks provided by the
Canadian consulates general in New York City and San Francisco,” said Tim Angus, President and CEO of REGEN Energy. “We are grateful for this
creative initiative and the hands-on assistance provided by Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service, which will help better position us in the competitive
U.S. energy market.”
Canada’s $10-billion clean technology industry consists of more than 700 technology companies, comprising primarily small and medium-sized
enterprises operating in every region of Canada and directly employing more than 52,000 people.
While in New York City, Minister Fast also marked the first anniversary of the New York City CTA (CTA@NYC) program for the digital media sector
(see Harper Government Helps Launch Canadian Start-Ups in Dynamic New York City Market).
“Since its launch in February 2012, the Canadian Technology Accelerator dedicated to the digital media sector has helped 29 high-growth Canadian
digital media start-ups tap into the New York market,” said Minister Fast. “Many of these companies have been able to raise venture capital and close
new deals—bringing high-value jobs and growth to Canada.”
“Being selected by the Canadian government as one of the top technology companies in sports media was a great honour, and our experience in New
York has been incredible,” said Greg Bobolo, CEO of SendtoNews and one of the participants in the program. “Our recent digital and broadcast rights
negotiations with the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing and the Ladies Professional Golf Association were made easier by our involvement
with CTA@NYC.” According to a report by the Information and Communications Technology Council, there are between 2,300 and 3,200 digital media
firms in Canada, employing more than 52,000 people and with annual revenues of over $3.5 billion.

Article: 3 Factors That Could Make or Break the Secondary Transformer Monitor Market
Author: Ben Kellison
Date: March 5, 2013
Despite rosy forecasts for secondary transformer monitors, major threats to adoption are on the horizon.
GTM Research expects the market for secondary transformer monitors to expand rapidly starting in 2014, as technology pilots are concluded.
Right now, secondary monitoring vendors are quickly inking public and private deals with other smart grid vendors to position their products for expected
future growth -- enabled in part by the wide deployment of field area networks and the recent availability of cheaper AMI network interface cards.
Some examples include:
AMI vendors including Echelon, Itron, Landis+Gyr, and Silver Spring Networks are partnering with transformer monitoring vendors to ensure
interoperability and increase the potential value for existing customers.
Additional negotiation and at least one deal has been brought to our attention between monitoring vendors and transformer vendors to embed monitors
within new secondary transformers.
These enabling factors, coupled with increasing distributed generation penetration, the growing importance of asset management, and the expanding
popularity of distribution automation applications, are providing the necessary elements for the secondary monitoring market to grow to more than a half
billion dollars by 2018 before stabilizing in 2019.
It all seems very rosy for players like Ambient/ABB, Current, Elster, Grid 20/20, GridSense, IUS Technologies, and newcomer Telliformer in the mid- to
long-term. However, there are risks that could significantly change the prospects for this market. There are three factors that could create
opportunity, threaten to significantly slow growth, or provide major opportunities for savvy vendors.
1. The current competition from other sensors (including AMI and line sensors).
This first one is obvious, as the lines from the casual observer between LV and MV sensors often blur together as many of the high-level benefits are the
same. The brewing low-voltage/medium- voltage sensor battle in the United States continues to heat up with new entrants like Awesense, Grid Sentry,
and South Korean IUS Technologies entering the market over the last year. More than twenty vendors are currently competing to stake claim on a
market that continues to lack answers to key questions, including the optimal penetration of sensors on a distribution line, the number of independent
sensors that are required if the equipment on feeders is intelligent, and the amount additional value that can be generated from sensors that are more
accurate, more precise, poll more frequently than a rival or include more powerful software or processing power.
2. Improving analytics from soft grid (e.g., GRIDiant), AMI (e.g., Silver Spring Networks), and MDMS (e.g., eMeter) providers can reduce the value of
transformer monitors through the creation of virtual meters in the short and medium term.
Virtual meters can estimate key health parameters at different points on the grid (such as the secondary transformer) to estimate the stress on an asset,
the quality of power, the outage status of a device, and assist with identifying theft. Widespread acceptance of these applications rather than direct
measures could strip potential marginal hardware sales from the market.
3. Competition or cooperation with combined solid-state monitoring and control devices in the medium and long term.
The slow conversion of control equipment to solid-state components from wire-and-magnet equipment will begin to occur in the next five years. If
demand develops for these devices to be deployed in a distributed fashion, the likely inclusion of monitoring and communications capabilities could
provide an OEM opportunity for low-voltage sensor and communications manufacturers to gain market share. However, by opening up another revenue
and value stream versus standalone sensors, it could shut them out altogether. Early indications point to Varentec and Gridco Systems challenging
traditional players ABB, GE, and Siemens in this space. The secondary monitoring market is beginning to look promising, as IOUs are starting pilots with
greater frequency and prices on economy vendor offerings have fallen to as low as $750 a unit. However, significant challenges from software vendors
and disruptive 21st-century solid-state hardware vendors will continue to grow for a market expected to exceed $500 million annually in 2018.
