Electricity: Grids - Investing in the future http://bit.ly/taftDF

1. ElECTRICITY: EmIssIons
Are you ready for
a greener world?
The green agenda is changing the way the industry works. Carbon reduction legislation will mean a more
rigorous approach to energy generation and the use of renewable energy will accelerate the need for a
flexible network. You must ensure that you rationalise emissions against a sound business model so that
your business does not suffer. Information will be the key to managing this change effectively for your
company.
MARKET CHALLENGES
Increasing regional and state-based climate change policies and long-term renewable energy strategies
will bring a profound change to the industry. You need to be able to meet these challenges head on.
Greener generation: Generators have had to move towards greener generation technologies or pay higher
taxes. Investment is needed in technologies that extract carbon from fossil fuel plants.
Changing transmission: Your networks need to accommodate offshore generation and connect newer
technologies like onshore wind, hydro and tidal systems to the grid.
Evolving distribution: You need to manage the possibility of supporting an increasing number of
microgenerators installed within your network when no such provision was made during the original
planning.
A service led industry: Retailers have to morph from being ‘just energy’ companies to being energy
services companies so that they can survive the impact of distributed and community-based generation
programmes. You will need to ensure that newer revenue streams are already in place once the traditional
energy supply business slows down.
As renewable energy becomes a regular part of our energy supply your business will evolve, and you need
a flexible business model that can adapt quickly to these changes. Your main challenge is to meet the key
emissions and renewables targets for 2020 and help establish a vision beyond that date to ensure your
organisation’s success.
THE LOGICA SOLUTION
We are dedicated to helping our clients deliver innovative solutions that manage renewable energy
effectively and this has made us the market leader in this field. We believe actions speak louder than
words, which is why we set high standards for our own commitment to reducing emissions. We can offer
you:
Consultancy: We provide high level business consultancy to a number of global clients and have a solid
grounding in cutting emissions. We work with you to see if environmental impact monitoring can help you
be greener, for example, or examine how smart metering technology will help consumers become more
aware of their consumption – helping you meet the carbon challenge whilst improving efficiency.

sustainable solutions research and delivered
several smart meter rollouts across the globe
We won the European Utility Award for Customer Excellence for our work on a web-based system for
visualisation and energy use. This has helped pro-active consumers save up to 30% on their energy
consumption and is currently in use by nearly 0.5 million people in sweden.
For norwegian company, Infrax, we’ve provided solutions and consultancy to help deliver their core clearing
house solution.
Integrated solutions: Imagine real-time control and performance management of your renewable assets;
reports and figures that impact your business generated in seconds; intelligent data that helps you
improve your offering and your decision making.
For EDP in Portugal, we delivered one of the biggest wind production real-time control centres in the
world, controlling 2,000 wind turbines across the Iberian peninsula. This system has allowed EDP to take
wind farms offline for maintenance and to balance loading on the grid, as well as track the long-term
performance of different turbine types. This provides invaluable feedback on reliability and efficiency
against manufacturers’ guarantees, and better direction for maintenance teams. The system is being
extended to the UsA and across international boundaries in Europe to control nearly five times the
capacity from one command centre, saving EDP construction, training and operating costs.
Project management and delivery: Working with our clients across a number of new projects we have
pioneered wind farm management, sustainable solutions research and delivered several smart meter
rollouts across the globe.
We have provided project management and overseen the delivery of the Czech national emissions registry
on behalf of the Czech utility, oTE. The registry includes provision of allowance registration, transaction
registration, settlement and approval workflow. The system builds upon our expertise in delivering and
maintaining the international transaction log for the Un Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UnFCCC) in Bonn. We have also successfully delivered a number of smart meter and smart grid pilots
across several different countries in the European Union. one of our pre-payment solutions won the British
Computing society award for social contribution.
