Intelligent Energy System<strong>ST</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> selected for Singapore’s pilot energy projectapplications in the pilot are found tobe cost-effective and viable, we intendto roll them out progressively on awider scale so that all consumers canenjoy the benefits of greater choiceand control over their energy usage.This intelligent energy system willbring the capabilities of our powergrid to the next level and will formthe centrepiece of our smart energyeconomy.”<strong>ST</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>, a leading supplierof Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)and Advance Metering Infrastructure(AMI) solutions capable of monitoringelectricity, water and gas usage,will be responsible for designingand implementing the criticalinfrastructure that is necessaryto enable smart grid applications.<strong>The</strong> company will provide andintegrate modular radio frequencyand powerline transceivers into themeters of manufacturers that areappointed by EMA. Unique to thisAMI solution is an integrated metermanagement system capable ofsupporting various communicationsin a multiple meter environment. Inaddition, <strong>ST</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> will deliverin-home displays, home automationand building automation solutions tofacilitate smart grid applications.“We are proud to participate inthis important step to a smarternational power grid. Leveragingour capabilities in AMR and AMIsolutions, through this pilot project,we are confident we can help EMAimprove energy efficiency in Singaporeand support Singapore’s effort indeveloping a smart energy economy,”said Mr Lee Fook Sun, President of<strong>ST</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>.<strong>The</strong> IES pilot will be conducted in twophases. <strong>The</strong> first phase, focusing onthe advanced metering infrastructure,will take place from the last quarter of2010 to 2012. <strong>The</strong> second, on smartgrid applications, will be carried outfrom 2012 to 2013.For details on <strong>ST</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> AMR and AMIsolutions, refer to page 30-31.Components of an Intelligent Energy System:Contributing to Singapore’s Smart Energy Economy<strong>The</strong> Intelligent Energy System (IES) Pilot Project Conceptual OverviewAn energy ecosystem connecting intelligent homes, vehicles, communities, electricity network sensors and sources of green generationto promote reliability, sustainability and energy efficiency.Solar panelsIndustrySource: Energy Market Authority’s news release dated 29 September 2010 (Annex A)DECEMBER 2010 15
