Which consequences and results do we expect from the „energy mix“?
until 2020 a share of 35 Mio. t SKE = 284,94 TWh will be based in Renewable Energy
Copper alone will not be the solution.
Nuclear power has dropped from 2011 til 2012 by – 8,6%, until 2020 this will decline by another - 6% sinken, bis 2022 komplett vom Netz sein
Wind energy is doing the job (31.307 MW installiert); by 28. February 2013 Germany has an installed PV Kapazität of 32.875 MWpeak

Wide frequency range:
PLC offers only 10-30 carriers, PPC‘s BPL uses approx. 1000 carriers
High frequency range (2 to 30 MHz)Existing EMC rules protect BPL from noise unlike with PLC in the CENELEC (>150kHz) band where no EMC rules apply
Only low transmission levels permitted enabling energy efficiency with low power consumption (about 3.3W per Modem in operation mode)
Unique meshed-network operation:
Smart auto-routing: system adapts automatically to local conditions

BPL uses the existing grid infrastructureUbiquity on the power gird secures easy access to Smart Grid applications
No problems in underground areas as with mobile and wireless technologies
No 3rd party consents required as with DSL or Fiber
BPL high data rate enables scalable solutions and the use of standardsSeamless IT Integration: non-proprietary built on OSI and TCP/IP standards; BPL meshed-net architecture integrated as a transparent ethernet bridge
Real-time performance: fulfills requirements for all Smart Grid applications
Sufficient bandwidth: enables synergies of multiple applications
Scalability: leverages one platform to existing and future SG applications
Security: TCP/IP standards enables end-to-end security measures and state-of-the-art data encryption
BPL platform has superior economics to all other technologies2 to 5 times lower TCO than all other alternative technologies (e.g. Fiber, DSL, 2.5/3/4G, RF meshed network)
Comparable TCO to narrowband PLC solutions but far greater performance

Smart Grid Project NetzQ
ICT infrastructure challenge
Usage of narrow band PLC was planned, but could not meet requirement
for real time data transmission
Solution:
Set-up of real-time capable IP communication platform, with:
Usage of existing fibre optic network
Extension of this network by low and medium voltage BPL to the
connection points of the distributed renewable generators (PV)
Implementation of security by usage of VPN technology

The look from outside
• Jordanian economy is mainly driven by theenergy sector.
• 97% of the energy needs are imported
• This costs about 25% of Jordanian GDP
• Since 2007 big hope inexploring the „yellowcake“ – uranium. N° 11 in the worldreserves.
• In addition reserves in oil from shale
• Nationale Energy Strategy since 2007: energy mix:
• 29 % Natural gas resources
• 14% from oil of shale
• 10 % renewables (2000 sun hours)
• 6 % from nuclear by 202
• The target is to get energy net exporter; Aquba nuclear power plant with about 1.000 megawatt of electricity
Corner Stones of the Jordanian Energy Policy
