Flexible Public Lighting in The Netherlands with an open and independent Smart City Platform June 25th 2015 Jeffrey de Grijs Smart Society Services B.V.
About us Energy Network Operator; gas and electricity distributor to large parts of the Netherlands Facilitate an open energy market Innovation (living labs, smart grids projects) Exploring future & new markets We enable (open) innovation in public spaces and public infrastructures by using open source technology and open standards. 2
Smart City drivers A Smart City uses data and information in a smart way resulting in city processes and services becoming smarter and more efficient and contributing to major city themes Safety Mobility Sustainability Energy consumption Livability Participation open data available Integration City Services Energy & Telecom Infra Connectivity Apps <> Devices 3
The past: closed systems and platform silo s Most current smart city or smart lighting systems: Obsolete or proprietary technology Closed for open development (almost) not using TRULY open standards and technology Lock-in on specific device, software or communication infrastructure 4
Upcoming: open platforms and ecosystems Internet technologies, open source and open standards have changed our lives but it haven t changed our cities, yet. New business models Exponential growth Crowd and Sharing economy Open platforms are key Open source and open standards lead to endless possibilities 5
Our experience in Smart City projects Experience Product/vendor/technology driven versus Closed and proprietary silo systems versus Hard to achieve positive business cases versus. versus Way forward (user) feedback & flexible future changes Open innovation, -source, -standards Collaborate, share and replicate resources 6
Open innovation, open source, open standards and open data can accelerate the development and implementation of large scale solutions within Smart City infrastructures and Smart City projects. 7

FlexOVL web application with basic functions FlexOVL, a new and flexible switching system of public lighting delivers more control for municipalities. Liander (DSO) introduces this first solution powered by the Open Smart Grid Platform. Setup switching schemes Organize devices in groups Ad hoc switching Monitor actual status Monitor energy usage Basic reporting functions Based on an open and independent Smart City Platform Also integrated with: IBOR 10

Open Smart Grid Platform (OSGP) Open, generic, scalable and independent IoT platform which enables various public service objects to be easily controlled and monitored with any application and with any communication infrastructure. Properties: Generic design ensures usage on a broader basis Open Source approach prevents vendor lock-in State of the art security (European Network for Cyber Security) Fully scalable (up and down) Stimulates open innovation by using open standards and open source technology Multiple devices and communication protocols are supported Independent of (cloud) hosting infrastructure Services being developed Flexible Switching of Public Lighting (roll out) Smart Meter Reading Smart substation Energy Demand and Supply management 13
Winner Dutch Environmental ICT Award 2014 Award for most innovative, sustainable and appealing ICT-product. Because of the open character of the platform, third parties are able to develop new and innovative applications. The concrete and large scale (IoT) implementation combined with the potential energy savings make the Open Smart Grid Platform a true winner of the Dutch ICT Environmental Award 2014 14
How we can help Smart Cities (or your smart lighting project) Control and monitor smart objects in urban spaces and public infrastructures independently Enable your City as a platform' with an open, generic, scalable and independent urban infrastructure Collaborate with peer (city) organizations who own or manage (large scale) infrastructures Enable (open) innovation and future development within an open source ecosystem Develop open standards for broad adoption and implementation in smart city applications Become less dependent of specific suppliers and / or proprietary technology 15
Open Source Launch June 25th 2015 Emma Koster
Open source as a strategy We make use of an open source approach, which has proven to be a powerful mechanism that can lead to world-wide, large-scale innovations and implementations. Open innovation, open source, open standards and open data can accelerate the development and implementation of large scale solutions within Smart City infrastructures and (future) Smart City projects. Stimulate development of the market and ecosystem More use of smart applications Reduce IT complexity No vendor lock-in on supplier or technology 17
Our open source approach Community of users develop the software Good-quality documentation and product information gives users the opportunity to work independently with the software Open Source license: Apache 2.0 Online support for users, by users Independent foundation that stimulates the use and development of the software Commercial company that offers services, such as consulting and implementation, based on the open source software 18
Two entities That operate independent from each other The foundation Keeping the platform and documentation available Maintenance and development Support for users and developers Licenses and legal conditions Marketing and promotion Smart Society Services Software as a Service Development of new applications upon request Connecting to data communication networks Development and implementation of open protocols Training, education and consulting www.osg-platform.com www.smartsocietyservices.com 19
