At the core, being “Smart” is understanding how to plan, integrate
and operate technologies holistically
Financial, social and political
pressures drive
infrastructure owners to
improve end user service in
more cost- and resourceefficient ways
Added infrastructure intelligence enables increased reliability,
efficiency and security while enhancing the end user experience
and creating a sustainable future

• Aggregation or ability to see
multiple assets as a collection,
allowing large number of
distributed assets to be grouped
for control, planning, and other
needs.
• Apply knowledge of present/past
in concert with view of the nearterm future (with consideration
of price signals, market, weather,
or other factors that shape
demand) to FORECAST
requirements.

Smart Information - Benefits
high
• Identification of impending failures awareness of magnitude
of losses and inefficiencies within a physical system (water,
energy, or otherwise), or performance bottlenecks)
• Allows needs to be compared to overall capabilities – this is
key for demand response techniques.

Smart Utility - Benefits
high
• Application of knowledge to how the actual pooled assets perform, implicit
constraints/options
• Understanding of how off-line assets (like energy storage) can be best
combined to meet overall requirements.
• A move towards optimization as forecasting improves to address longer
period of time with good predictability
• Improved ability to efficiently plan/commit various resources into the pool
