 All right Night talks fun So I'm responsible for the product development at green energy corporation And for the last two years we've been working on a next-generation automation platform And what I'm going to do today is tell you a little story about how we're taking that platform and applying it to micro grits So let me introduce you to the star character It's the me in the bottom corner and he has a little project and big dreams and aspirations about doing something worthy a worthy challenge global global of global proportions and so The idea wouldn't be cool if you could take a redefine a part of the industry and create a new Ecosystem that doesn't exist today do good and have fun, but what is a micro grid? So let's define a micro grid, okay? First a micro grid for this instance is civilization in a box for controlling resources like power and water Second it's for optimization of those resources through a cut economics Reliability and other resources and there's technologies that have to go into that and the me loves Technologies loves open source loves to use it loves to create it And as you can see there's a number of different things here that the me has been working on and It's not me. It's them me so the me also needs a community in this case and One of the projects that we talked about or mentioned before is reef And there's other little projects that are going on in there to help create this community and the ecosystem that we're looking at So hopefully you're starting to get to some picture. We've got a great idea We've got trying to build an ecosystem trying to build a community and we want to do well and do good So let's step back a second and think about an application and in this case the gem Institute is actually looking at creating eco villages in Haiti and Leveraging micro grids in our platform in this context. It's a pretty neat idea Of actually providing something really useful. So the platform really needs to be a seed to Basically support things like open source and drive open source to support standards that the industry can adopt to to support an architecture That's resilient and and allow the ecosystem special purpose services to grow So one of the things that the me came up with was a codename reef Coral reef, you know a perfect example of a really competitive ecosystem that allows things to grow and survive on their own merits So this is an unhappy me and unhappy me is really looking at the siloed application problem, right? This is very common. Everybody understands this now the happy me is going to be using the project reef and It allows those applications now to leverage all the information Get away from the n-squared problems of point-to-point interfaces and we're also talking to a number of remote sensing devices out in the field So we're happy So this is another idea or something that came from pike research But it's a an island in the Baltic Sea. It's a micro grid where they're leveraging a number of renewables And there's technologies that have to manage those renewables So it can be applied in many different areas and this is a case of the DoD Looking at how to stabilize portions of the grid leveraging distributed energy resources So there's a lot of software technology for managing the flow of electricity for that support Now the ecosystem we talked about earlier, so what is this ecosystem? Well, there's really an ecosystem for driving the applications that are non-existent today or at least only The 800 pound gorillas have that you really want to bring all that information in and you really need to enable them to be able to Do that one you have to enable standards You need to be able to have liberal licenses so that they can attach into this ecosystem And you want an architecture this lucy coupled so they can grow and add things to it So this is another project that we've been working on. It's a freedom project. It's seven universities NSF funded and Has 40 different industry partners in it really some cutting edge technology. It's a micro grid concept with energy devices that act like routers and so this is not vaporware the me has actual screenshots of An operational management system that's showing this the previous slide and There's different things here, but you know you have a plug-in electric vehicle solar panels and other things So the me does need artist classes obviously and and needs to be able to buy new crayons so we productize this into a product called green bus and We like people to jump on the green bus and take a ride So open source rocks it really gives us an opportunity to move forward and do some really incredible things Thank you for your attention and cheers
