thinking about the convergence of information and energy


1. the local view


150 million* IP nodes

housing units

(e.g. smart meters, DSL modems, TV sets, PCs, Printers ...)

* in europe (rough estimation)


mobile devices

* in europe (rough estimation)

500 million* nodes


electrical devices * in europe (rough estimation)

30‘000 million* potential nodes


why smart homes are not fit for mass market

smart installations are 400% more expensive than conventional ones

additional cabling complicates reconstruction

75% of the investment are labor costs

high maintenance costs

1 node costs about 3W = 26 KWh/a = ca 4 €/a

2008 introducing:

the ‚online barcode‘ for electrical devices

2. the global view


10‘000 times more energy than man is using


solar area needed for actual global energy consumption


the priciple development of costs of fossile and regenerative energies

we are talking about a fundamental convergenceof energy and information


the actual energy network


like the GMS network

the future energy network


future decentralized energy logistics scheme

like GSM networks


the open energy globe

new kinds of visibilities for future energy communities


we should not simply focus on saving energy ...


we should think about the transfer towards the digital future of energy !


what can we expected ?


100 times more IT nodes


connected living environments

will complement

connected people


digitalSTROM is an open alliance thinking about

the convergence of energy and information
