Cisco Smart Grid - HD Version

360 proprietary protocol ?

Bit hard to accept CISCO's vision as credible when they just cancelled two of the products that they showcase in the video, the HEC (Home Energy Controller) and their Building Mediator Software. Nice graphics, lots of buzz words but I see no beef...

What is the name of the song in the background?

[Evmoy15]

@samuelrsolomon It's a apple loop called "Satellites"

[samuelrsolomon]

@Evmoy15 Thanks!

Les hablo desde Perú, este sistema es muy importante para el ahorro muy significativo de energia y la proteccion del medio ambiente, espero que el gobierno peruano tenga esta informacion para luego se implemente a todo el territorio nacional. Gracias

This is very well done. It explains in 4 minutes what we'll be seeing in just a few short years!

This is a great first step into a Resource Based Economy! Intelligent management of the earths resources is whats needed.

[GODZCAMERA]

interesting.

Ah, Cisco - your PR quality control failed - the final ten seconds shows the earth rotating backwards (the solar terminator moving from west to east)

[blueberryjupiter]

It sounds like the Gov. or "whoever" has control of the energy grid would be big brother and quite a fucking pain - If I wanna wash my dishes at night time, I expect them to be washed and dry before I go to bed.. not 4am because the energy company decides to make energy cheaper then! We all know internet companies who slow down our connection, cut us off at times... it will be the same here..maybe they say it will phase out petrol cars, Im not convinced elite business will not benefit from this

[granthamicus]

@blueberryjupiter Time to move on and accept the fact that real privacy no longer exists. If this makes sense for big industrial and governmental entities to implement then it will happen, with or without you. I personally wouldn't care who knows how much energy I consume, save, sell back to the grid. Just my two cents.

@blueberryjupiter

You do get to choose when to wash the dishes etc... This is just green technology for the future, which means massive share price hikes for CISCO, energy companies, and electrical car manufacturers

Think I may buy shares in CISCO lol

[pbatemon]

yea i work or them and yea thats what thay are doing

[cespedeslv]

I love this technology/smart-grid stuff. I hope that one day I'll be able from the comfort of my living-room or bed-room turn-off my kids power by a menu select on my television. Well when ever I have kids..wink!

What's the background music ?

Thank's

I recently had to restore more computor to get rid of a virus. With all this 'interconnect' between so many entities we are looking at more power blackouts and brownouts and morons hacking into the grid to make havoc of our power system. The grid colud use improvements but this 'whole ball of wax' system makes everybody too interdependant. Oh yea, global warming is a hoax of course.

[louiseiiid]

@joskemom No sir, the warming is a reality, but it is caused by sun-flares.

We should still be looking to find better infrastructures and smarter energy.

[joskemom]

@louiseiiid Hey louiseiiid, ok, man made global warming is a hoax, not much we can do about the sun flares.  Agreed, we should always be looking to improve our infrastructures but I dont want the utilities to be intrusive into my private life. I dont need or want DWP controlling my A/C unit from their headquarters.

[timonix2]

@louiseiiid i kinda of agree. The human effects are way bigger than they should be. be it doesn't really matter if that's what causing the problem. Better production, new technology and infrastructure is ALWAYS good.

Smart Grid is digital technology that helps to eliminate waste and brings about greater efficiency in the electrical distribution network. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers is working in this direction too. Check its website for more on transformers and the 'smart' system.

[rmackintosh16]

Agreed the energy industry needs to change its mode of operation. Not sure that smart grid (implied intelligence) will instigate change particularly in the use of carbon based fuels. Only a revolution in the generation industry will change the status quo of the petroleum industry.
