A greener society with ZigBee

ZigBee helps better manage energy and supports

the Smart Grid through the Smart EnergySmart EnergySmart EnergySmart Energy profile

ZigBee is used in over 40 million smart meters

currently in deployment around the planet

Large scale deployment of ZigBee sensors will help

achieve the Sustainable Homes and Buildings

objective

However, most wireless sensors are still faced with

a critical issue: batteries

Enabling the use of energy harvesting technologies,

ZigBee Green PowerGreen PowerGreen PowerGreen Power is a key contribution to a world

with less batteries


ZigBee Smart Energy


The rationale for demand response

Some facts

– Local use of electricity is rising between 1 and 11% per year

– Producing electricity creates 37% of all greenhouse gases

– Coal is still the fastest growing fuel for making electricity

– There is no effective large scale storage technology

In many situations demand management is the only

remaining choice to ensure energy sustainability


What is ZigBee Smart Energy?

Smart Energy is ZigBee’s open standard way of

achieving

– Demand response and load control

– Energy management and metering services

– Presentation of grid status and energy costs

– Utility customer communication

– Many more features enabling the Smart Grid

ZigBee Smart Energy is achieving

worldwide presence

– Proposed to IEC as basis for a smart metering standard

– Endorsed as key standard by US DoE and NIST

– Endorsed by ESMIG for smart metering across Europe

ZigBee Green Power


A world with less batteries

Energy consumption and battery

operation are two of the most

critical challenges for wireless

sensor networking

Combining energy harvesting and

wireless communications allows

for maintenance free control and

monitoring

There are huge market

opportunities for batteryless,

wireless solutions, in particular in

the building/office/hotel segments


What is ZigBee Green Power?

Green Power is ZigBee’s open standard way of

enabling batteryless or ultra low power applications

– Light and shade switches, remote controls

– Measurement sensors, thermostats, closure detectors

– Panic and emergency buttons

– Gas and water meters

– Industrial switches

ZigBee Green Power delivers end to end compatibility

with existing (battery or mains powered) devices


What ZigBee Green Power delivers

No maintenance

No battery waste

Increasing pressures and incentives for energy

savings, wherever they come from

Can lead to easier, faster installation

Can allow for different form factors, more compact

devices

Reduced fire risk in some industrial environments

Conclusions

In a world where energy is becoming a scarce

resource, all means to optimize its usage must be

deployed

ZigBee is today the key wireless sensing and

control technology to drive energy efficiency in

homes, buildings and power hungry environments

ZigBee Smart Energy and Green Power will help

achieve the Smart Grid and Sustainable Homes and

Buildings visions
