ICT Trends

ICT

• Wide diffusion of the Internet, mobile communications and broadband networks


7

ICT

• ICT infrastructure has become so widely used that it is now a critical to daily business.


8

ICT Trends = Future Internet

• ICT Networking

• ICT Services

• Linked Data

• Access Technologies

• Internet of Things

• ICT Security


9

ICT Networking

• Everything/Anything over the Internet Protocol (IP) has put pressure on – i) Processing/handling of data

• routers, switches, terminals, servers, software programs/ routines/services.

– ii) Storage of data • memory, buffers, caches, disks.

– iii)Transmission of data • physical and logical transferring and exchange of data.

– iv) Network mobility, security, multihoming and management.


10

ICT Services

• Major evolution in the way information systems are designed, built and operated.

• Disruptive innovations – Web 2.0, Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).

• New delivery / business models – Cloud Computing, Software as a Service (SaaS),

mobile operating systems, Open Source Software.


11

Linked Data

• Accessible web content has far outpaced technological progress in retrieving and sharing that information.

• Semantic web is a new way of representing digital content in a form that is more easily machine understandable and interpretable for users is well under way


12

Access Technologies

• New deployments such as LTE (4G) and Fibre to The Home (FTTH) – will offer increased network capacity and

bandwidth to customers, will pave the way for more real-time applications.

• Virtualisation of carrier networks is also on-going and starting to define new business models and new areas of application.


13

Internet of Things

• Ubiquitously connecting intelligent devices and sensors.

• Sensors will become active participants in business, information and social processes.

• Offer new possibilities for contextual and environmental information sensing, processing and analysis.


14

ICT Security

• Must consider end users interests in trust of the system – including security,

– resilience,

– data protection,

– privacy (the right to be forgotten).


15

ICT Trends: How does this apply

to the Utilities Sector

How does this apply to the Utilities

Sector

• Smart Energy Grid

• Environment

• Transport- Mobility - Logistics


17

Smart Energy Grid

• ICT can optimise the management of energy networks so as to match supply and demand in the most effective way.


18

Future INternet for Smart ENergY

Smart Energy Grid

Implementation

• Distribution Networks

– Demand Response Management, virtual power plants, establishment of micro

grids, reconfiguration of the network, optimisation of power flows and energy

storages

• Regional / Microgrid

– an important and visionary electricity grid scenario to analyse ICT requirements

• Smart Buildings

– significantly differentiate the energy requirements, characteristics and foreseen

solutions

• Electric Mobility

– infrastructure for energy provision and management

• Electronic Market Place for Energy

– define rules, roles and parameters and transaction guidelines that will govern this

ecosystem

Electric Mobility Scenarios

Environment

• Monitoring and control solutions to optimise the Smart City – For waste management, public lighting, water and

gas networks, parking, to name a few.

• Each application involves a complex chain of data, processes and stakeholders, but with a common purpose – to provide end‐to‐end service for the citizen.


21

Transport- Mobility - Logistics

• Manage transportation systems in more efficient ways, –combating congestion,

–reducing energy consumption and pollution,

–Making the most of multi‐modal solutions.
