Smart Grid offers demand side management and
load leveling opportunities
•
Smart Grid benefits
• Allows the usage of power more efficiently, reducing GHG emissions and
increasing reliability of electricity service.
• Enables load leveling of electricity supply and demand, so that more
variable, renewable energy can be added to the grid.
• Empowers consumers, enabling them to exercise more control over their
use of electricity

Global Opportunities
The worldwide smart grid market will grow from $20B USD in revenue in 2010 to
$100B USD by 2030.4

Industry needs to define opportunity and
alleviate customer concerns
•
•
Customer concerned with new-legacy equipment compatibility and increased costs
End users expect device to operate within a system and struggle with evolving cyberthreats
“Consumer perceptions may be at odds with the smart grid value
proposition as portrayed by the utilities. Consumers are also concerned
about data privacy”1
“…for utilities, there are still barriers we need to overcome. Several examples include
the need to change consumer behavior, ensure cost-effectiveness, overcome financial
constraints and perceived grid complexity, and maintain grid reliability and cyber
security. Policies, legislation, regulations and international technical standards are still
being formulated and are continuously-evolving.”2
We believe standards are the only path to interoperability. We believe that by
standardizing as many architecture layers as possible, we'll get economies of scale
and higher-quality products. “Without proper testing and certification, using an agreedupon set of criteria, you can't trust that devices are actually interoperable,”3

Industrial Cyber Security
As industrial control systems rely more on computer and network
systems to monitor and control processes, security problems can be
passed on to industrial processes, putting production and human
safety at risk. Cyber-attacks can damage or shut down critical
infrastructure such as the electric power grid, water treatment plants
and oil and gas pipelines.
Examples:
• In July 2010, Stuxnet virus infiltrated an Iranian nuclear facility and
changed the rotational speed of the motors that a Siemens PLCs
controlled, allegedly setting Iran back 2-3 years from developing a
nuclear weapon.

• UL is in the process of working with industry to assess the need for these type
of supplemental requirements in HVAC equipment and lighting products.
• These requirements are intended to be used in conjunction with the basic
safety standard to ensure that smart enabled functionality does not impact the
overall safety of the appliance or equipment
18
