Valerio Aisa - Presentation in Milan at "Home & Building Days", August 2010.
The process of great transformation of the global energy system according to the concept of “smart grid” involves the direct collaboration of household appliances, in particular white goods, which, to this purpose, are becoming "smart" and are able to exchange information with digital power meters through suitable communication infrastructures. But, unfortunately, there still are objective problems relating to connectivity that hinder the rapid spread of these products. Wr@p technology, which Indesit is going to liberalize with the help of Renesas (Japan), has the aim to completely solve these problems.

This meter is monitoring the power balance of the UK electricity grid. If the needle is too far to
the left, it means more generation is needed to meet demand.
The meter actually shows the grid's frequency, which is related to the speed of rotation of
generators all over the country. When there is too little power available, the whole grid "slows
down" and the needle moves to the left.

The aim of the project is to develop a communication infrastructure that enables
provision of Value Added Services based upon information exchange related to energy
usage, energy consumption and energy tariffs in the Home Area Network (HAN).
The project envisions a protocol that shall be used to build an integrated platform to
allow cooperation between the main devices involved in residential energy management.
From a functional point of view, Energy@Home envisions a system that can provide users with
information on their household consumption directly on the display of the appliance itself, on the
smart phone or on their computer. Consumers will be able to use their appliances in a “smart” way
by enhancing the energy efficiency of the entire house system.

(Home Network) and the WAN (e.g. internet). It is able to interface Smart Appliances
and other user’s devices (e.g. PC) through the communication protocol(s) used in the

which dispatches energy related information into the HAN. Published data are a sub-
