<hr />
<div>=Objective=<br />
The report mainly focus on the key issues of home energy management in Smart Grid. Monitoring of the whole house energy consumption as well as energy used by individual appliances and circuits within the homes. Effective energy management at home is key and an integral part of the future Smart Grid.An innovative energy management system for home (Home Energy Management) which pursues the increase of the efficiency of the energy used and the reduction of the global energy demand of the homes, but without penalizing the comfort levels of the users.<br />
<br />
=Smart Grid =<br />
<br />
Smart Grid is a next-generation electric power system represented by convergence of modernized electric power technology and information communication technology, and management. The smart grid movement combines an amalgam of new digital and mechanical technologies aimed at improving the efficiency of our electrical infrastructure. At the consumer level, home energy monitors that inform customers about electric use.<br><br />
The smart grid takes the existing electricity delivery system and makes it “smart”<br />
by linking and applying seamless communications systems that can<br />
*Gather and store data and convert the data to intelligence.<br />
*Communicate intelligence omnidirectionally among components in the “smart” electricity system and<br />
*Allow automated control that is responsive to that intelligence.<br />
<br />
Five technologies that will drive the smart grid are <br />
*Integrated communications<br />
*Sensing & measurement technologies<br />
*Advanced components (superconductivity, storage, power electronics & diagnostics)<br />
*Advanced control methods<br />
*Improved interfaces and decision support<br />

==Home Energy Management systems (HEM)==<br />
Home Energy Management systems are usually called smart grid systems. This allows for an open communication between the utility company and the consumer. The energy management system optimizes the energy usage by informing the customer on a live basis of their corresponding consumption rates. The smart grid uses web based systems between a series of different networks. By having web based systems with open communication time of usage is emphasized. Utility companies have higher electric rates during peak periods, so the smart grid emphasizes off peak energy consumption.<br />

<br />
*Mass deployment of smart meters by utilities is creating new business opportunities for product developers and utilities. As energy plays a larger role in the lives of consumers, a wide range of new products and services will be developed to enable the market. Home Energy Management is becoming the “killer app” for home automation.<br><br />
*EMS (Energy Management System) employed for real-time electric power management and real-time power consumption prediction and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) for real-time metering of the power consumption are important in the Smart Grid.<br />
<br />
===Benefits of HEMS===<br />
====Benefits for utilities====<br />
1. '''Public Policy: Reduce Carbon Emissions'''<br />
:* Driven by government carbon policies, utilities are looking at energy conservation rather than adding generation, as well as shifting generation from fossil fuels to renewables.<br />
:* Various studies have shown a reduction in home energy use of 4-15% through use of home energy display.<br />
:* HEM provides a means to integrate the residential consumer into the utility’s communication framework for energy management.<br />
2. '''Increase Grid Reliability: Demand Response Load Control'''<br />
:* Demand Response provides utilities a mechanism to shed load based on real-time conditions. DR using 1-way paging networks is being replaced with new 2-way Advanced Meter Infrastructure, along with use of home broadband connections.<br />
:* HEM provide a mechanism for utilities to use AMI and residential broadband networks to implement a more measurable and verifiable DR solution.<br />
3. '''Implement Time-of- Use: Peak Time Rebate Programs'''<br />
:* Most utilities charge their consumers a flat rate/KwH, in spite of them paying higher wholesale prices during peak consumption hours. This directly affects their bottom line as well as does nothing to help conservation during peak hours.<br />
:* HEM will provide mechanisms to automate load shifting based on price of energy, without adversely affecting customer satisfaction when TOU/CPP/CPR/PTR pricing is implemented by utilities.<br />
4. '''Integrate EV, Storage and Micro Generation'''<br />
:* Utilities would like to assess the overall impact of EVs, Battery Storage and Micro Generation to generation, transmission and distribution, as well as consumer behavior.<br />
:* HEM will be the platform that integrates all components in the home to provide analytics and data mining opportunities.<br />
5. '''Social Benefits'''<br />
:* Reducing the demand for fossil fuels.<br />
:* Generating jobs, in the manufacture and installation of insulation, and in the manufacture, installation and servicing of renewable and low carbon sources of energy.<br />
<br />
====Benefits for consumers====<br />
1. '''Demand Response: Savings Incentives'''<br />
:* Provides an easy-to-use application for utility-based pricing incentives to save energy and costs<br />
:* Offers the consumer flexibility to temporarily opt out of pricing programs<br />
2. '''Time-of-Use and Critical Peak Pricing: Manage Energy Budgets'''<br />
:* Allows customers to set up general policies to automate energy consumption based on time of day<br />
:* Allows residential customers to manage their energy budgets effectively<br />
:* Identify Energy Spikes - If consumers knew that their leaving their 500W PC on all the time is costing them an additional $100/month, then they can manage its usage more effectively<br />
3. '''Being Green: Reduce Carbon Footprint'''<br />
:* Allows consumers to monitor and automatically reduce their energy consumption<br />
4. '''Integrate Components: Vehicles, Storage, and Micro generation'''<br />
:* Integrates all components in the home to provide complete energy visibility and control, including electric vehicles, storage, and micro generation<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==Home Energy Management (Service Oriented Architecture) ==<br />
The SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)based on the logic on the home gateway which can integrate the EMD managed home appiances in to home network.The appliance functions and utility services are deployed under a common logic on the home gate way (Data collector).Embedded energy management device(EMD) provides the basic energy management functions for existing home appliances. <br />
The smart home architecture is to <br> <br />
'''Monitoring & Operation System''' :<br />
*The Monitoring & Operation System provides the adequate tools to interact with the home appliances (sensors and actuators) and its “context” (environmental conditions, utilities etc) Interaction with sensors and actuators will be based on wireless monitoring and control network. <br />
*And also it Provides a device which can integrate the home appliances in to the home network.<br><br />
'''Intelligent Control System''' : <br />
*Provide a device which can integrate the home appliances in to the home network.<br />
*Provide guidance for energy profiling.<br />
Define energy profiles for home appliances with which energy states can be assigned to the appliances with out constant metering.<br><br />
'''Multimodal User Interface''' :<br><br />
*It will develop a friendly user interface that will allow interacting with the control system through the user interface. <br />
*Record energy profiles for ordinary appliances.<br />
*Switch off appliances which are in stand-by mode.<br />

# '''[http://www.control4.com/ Control4], Salt Lake City UT -''' Offers a complete line of home-automation products that allow lighting, audio, video and climate to be controlled. Earlier this year the company raised $17.3 million in a Series F expansion capital round and could be gearing up for an IPO. New investors include Best Buy's venture arm, indicating a possible channel to market for the devices. Smart Grid News Company Profile<br />
# '''[http://www.ecofactor.com/index.php EcoFactor], Redwood City, CA-''' Has created a system that controls home energy consumption through broadband gateways, came out of stealth mode in early November. A few weeks later it won the prize at the Cleantech Open. Now, it has raised $2.4 million--not an outrageous amount, but better than nothing--from Claremont Creek Ventures and a few others.<br>EcoFactor offers a SaaS-based residential energy management solution that works with two-way communicating thermostats and a broadband Internet connection to develop a dynamic, customized heating and cooling strategy. In EcoFactor's system, a wireless thermostat sends data to a home DSL or cable box. No smart meter needed. A continual exchange of data between the home gateway and EcoFactor's servers then allows EcoFactor's servers to modulate the temperature up or down according to parameters set by the consumer and data gathered about a consumer's usage and behavior. The company's personalized approach to HVAC management continuously adapts to thousands of new data points each day, including weather patterns, a home's unique thermal characteristics and occupant preferences.<br />
# '''[http://www.getgreenbox.com/ Greenbox], San Bruno, CA -''' Silver Spring Networks announced in late September that it is aquiring home energy monitoring startup Greenbox Technology and will integrate Greenbox's web-based energy management platform into its series of deployments.<br>Greenbox is creating an integrated Internet service that lets a residential customer view, interpret, and act on their everyday utility service consumption and distributed generation behaviors. While other companies have presented residential electricity awareness interfaces, they rarely demonstrate the ability to span non-electric utility services, distributed generation, and remote appliance control from a single unified interface.<br>Assuming the utility has deployed a higher bandwidth meter network, most tasks can be done by integrating Greenbox's system with the utility's AMI back-end system. To date, Greenbox has announced partnership with Silver Spring Networks. Control and data may flow over that infrastructure. Alternatively, Greenbox can place a third-party gateway device in the home to bridge home area network (HAN) control and data over the Internet.<br />

=Introduction=<br />
* We have been using wind power at least since 5000 BC to propel sailboats and sailing ships, and architects have used wind-driven natural ventilation in buildings since similarly ancient times. The use of wind to provide mechanical power came later.<br />
* Harnessing renewable alternative energy is the ideal way to tackle the energy crisis, with due consideration given to environmental pollution, that looms large over the world.<br />
<br />
* Renewable energy is also called "clean energy" or "green power" because it doesn’t pollute the air or the water. Wind energy is one such renewable energy source that harnesses natural wind power.<br> <br />

In order to overcome the problems associated with fixed speed wind turbine system and to maximize the wind energy capture, many new wind farms are employing variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS) with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). It is the most popular and widely used scheme for the wind generators due to its advantages.<br />
<br />
For variable-speed systems with limited variable-speed range, e.g. ±30% of synchronous speed, the doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG) can be an interesting solution. This is mainly due to the fact that the power electronic converter only has to handle a fraction (20-30%) of the total power as the converters are connected to the rotor and not to the stator. Therefore, the losses in the power electronic converter can be reduced, compared to a system where the converter has to handle the total power. The overall structure of wind power generation through DFIG as shown in the figure below.<br />

===China===<br />
<br>'''Wind Energy Outlook for China - 2011 & Beyond'''<br />
<br>Despite its rapid and seemingly unhampered expansion, the<br />
Chinese wind power sector continues to face significant<br />
challenges, including issues surrounding grid access and<br />
integration, reliability of turbines and a coherent strategy for<br />
developing China’s offshore wind resource. These issues will<br />
be prominent during discussions around the twelfth Five-Year<br />
Plan, which will be passed in March 2011. According to the<br />
draft plan, this is expected to reflect the Chinese<br />
government’s continuous and reinforced commitment to<br />
wind power development, with national wind energy targets<br />
of 90 GW for 2015 and 200 GW for 2020.<br />

===India===<br />
<br>'''Wind Energy Main market developments in 2010'''<br />
<br>Today the Indian market is emerging as one of the major<br />
manufacturing hubs for wind turbines in Asia. Currently,<br />
seventeen manufacturers have an annual production capacity<br />
of 7,500 MW. According to the WISE, the annual wind turbine<br />
manufacturing capacity in India is likely to exceed<br />
17,000 MW by 2013.<br />
<br>The Indian market is expanding with the leading wind<br />
companies like Suzlon, Vestas, Enercon, RRB Energy and GE<br />
now being joined by new entrants like Gamesa, Siemens, and<br />
WinWinD, all vying for a greater market share. Suzlon, however,<br />
is still the market leader with a market share of over 50%.<br />
<br>The Indian wind industry has not been significantly affected<br />
by the financial and economic crises. Even in the face of a<br />
global slowdown, the Indian annual wind power market has<br />
grown by almost 68%. However, it needs to be pointed out<br />
that the strong growth in 2010 might have been stimulated<br />
by developers taking advantage of the accelerated<br />
depreciation before this option is phased out.<br />

|Variable speed wind turbine with doubly-fed induction generator compensated for varying rotor speed<br />
|The DFIG system has poor damping of oscillations within the flux dynamics due to cross coupling between active and reactive currents, which makes the system potentially unstable under certain circumstances and complicates the work of the rotor current controller. These oscillations can damage the drive train mechanisms.<br />
|A compensation block is arranged, which feeds a compensation control output to the rotor of the generator. The computation unit computes the control output during operation of the turbine to compensate partly for dependencies on a rotor angular speed of locations of poles of a generator transfer function, so that the transfer function is made independent of variations in the speed during operation of the turbine which eliminates the oscillations and increases the efficiency of the wind turbine.<br />

|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|Abnormal currents can damage the windings in the doubly- fed induction generator. Controlling these currents with the subordinate current controllers cannot be an efficient way to extract the maximum amount of active power.<br />
|bgcolor = "#DCE6F1"|The method involves delivering or receiving of a maximum permissible reference value of an active power during an operation of a double-fed asynchronous machine, where predetermined active power and reactive power reference values are limited to a calculated maximum permissible active and reactive power reference values, and hence ensures reliable regulated effect and reactive power without affecting the power adjustment, the rotor is electrically connected to a pulse-controlled inverter by slip rings with a static frequency changer, and thus a tension with variable amplitude and frequency is imposed in the rotor.<br />

|Method and system of control of the converter of an electricity generation facility connected to an electricity network in the presence of voltage sags in said network<br />
|Double-fed asynchronous generators are very sensitive to the faults that may arise in the electricity network, such as voltage sags. During the sag conditions the current which appears in said converter may reach very high values, and may even destroy it.<br />
|During the event of a voltage sag occurring, the converter imposes a new set point current which is the result of adding to the previous set point current a new term, called demagnetizing current, It is proportional to a value of free flow of a generator stator. A difference between a value of a magnetic flow in the stator of the generator and a value of a stator flow associated to a direct component of a stator voltage is estimated. A value of a preset calculated difference is multiplied by a factor for producing the demagnetizing current.<br />

|Frequency converter for a double-fed asynchronous generator with variable power output and method for its operation<br />
|Optislip circuit with a resistor is used when speed is above synchronous speed, results in heating the resistor and thus the generator leads to limitation of operation in super synchronous range which results in tower fluctuations.<br />
|Providing a back-to-back converter which contains the inverter circuit has direct current (DC) inputs, DC outputs, and a rotor-rectifier connected to a rotor of a dual feed asynchronous generator. A mains inverter is connected to a power grid, and an intermediate circuit connects one of the DC inputs with the DC outputs. The intermediate circuit has a semiconductor switch between the DC outputs, an intermediate circuit condenser between the DC inputs, and a diode provided between the semiconductor switch and the condenser. Thus the system is allowed for any speed of wind and reduces the tower fluctuations.<br />

|System and method of operating double fed induction generators<br />
|Wind turbines with double fed induction generators are sensitive to grid faults. Conventional methods are not effective to reduce the shaft stress during grid faults and slow response and using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is cost expensive.<br />
|The protection system has a controlled impedance device. Impedance device has bidirectional semiconductors such triac, assembly of thyristors or anti-parallel thyristors. Each of the controlled impedance devices is coupled between a respective phase of a stator winding of a double fed induction generator and a respective phase of a grid side converter. The protection system also includes a controller configured for coupling and decoupling impedance in one or more of the controlled impedance devices in response to changes in utility grid voltage and a utility grid current. High impedance is offered to the grid during network faults to isolate the dual fed wind turbine generator.<br />

=Introduction=<br />
* We have been using wind power at least since 5000 BC to propel sailboats and sailing ships, and architects have used wind-driven natural ventilation in buildings since similarly ancient times. The use of wind to provide mechanical power came later.<br />
* Harnessing renewable alternative energy is the ideal way to tackle the energy crisis, with due consideration given to environmental pollution, that looms large over the world.<br />
<br />
* Renewable energy is also called "clean energy" or "green power" because it doesn’t pollute the air or the water. Wind energy is one such renewable energy source that harnesses natural wind power.<br> <br />

In order to overcome the problems associated with fixed speed wind turbine system and to maximize the wind energy capture, many new wind farms are employing variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS) with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). It is the most popular and widely used scheme for the wind generators due to its advantages.<br />
<br />
For variable-speed systems with limited variable-speed range, e.g. ±30% of synchronous speed, the doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG) can be an interesting solution. This is mainly due to the fact that the power electronic converter only has to handle a fraction (20-30%) of the total power as the converters are connected to the rotor and not to the stator. Therefore, the losses in the power electronic converter can be reduced, compared to a system where the converter has to handle the total power. The overall structure of wind power generation through DFIG as shown in the figure below.<br />

<br>'''Wind Energy Outlook for China - 2011 & Beyond'''<br />
<br>Despite its rapid and seemingly unhampered expansion, the<br />
Chinese wind power sector continues to face significant<br />
challenges, including issues surrounding grid access and<br />
integration, reliability of turbines and a coherent strategy for<br />
developing China’s offshore wind resource. These issues will<br />
be prominent during discussions around the twelfth Five-Year<br />
Plan, which will be passed in March 2011. According to the<br />
draft plan, this is expected to reflect the Chinese<br />
government’s continuous and reinforced commitment to<br />
wind power development, with national wind energy targets<br />
of 90 GW for 2015 and 200 GW for 2020.<br />

===India===<br />
<br>'''Wind Energy Main market developments in 2010'''<br />
<br>Today the Indian market is emerging as one of the major<br />
manufacturing hubs for wind turbines in Asia. Currently,<br />
seventeen manufacturers have an annual production capacity<br />
of 7,500 MW. According to the WISE, the annual wind turbine<br />
manufacturing capacity in India is likely to exceed<br />
17,000 MW by 2013.<br />
<br>The Indian market is expanding with the leading wind<br />
companies like Suzlon, Vestas, Enercon, RRB Energy and GE<br />
now being joined by new entrants like Gamesa, Siemens, and<br />
WinWinD, all vying for a greater market share. Suzlon, however,<br />
is still the market leader with a market share of over 50%.<br />
<br>The Indian wind industry has not been significantly affected<br />
by the financial and economic crises. Even in the face of a<br />
global slowdown, the Indian annual wind power market has<br />
grown by almost 68%. However, it needs to be pointed out<br />
that the strong growth in 2010 might have been stimulated<br />
by developers taking advantage of the accelerated<br />
depreciation before this option is phased out.<br />

|Variable speed wind turbine with doubly-fed induction generator compensated for varying rotor speed<br />
|The DFIG system has poor damping of oscillations within the flux dynamics due to cross coupling between active and reactive currents, which makes the system potentially unstable under certain circumstances and complicates the work of the rotor current controller. These oscillations can damage the drive train mechanisms.<br />
|A compensation block is arranged, which feeds a compensation control output to the rotor of the generator. The computation unit computes the control output during operation of the turbine to compensate partly for dependencies on a rotor angular speed of locations of poles of a generator transfer function, so that the transfer function is made independent of variations in the speed during operation of the turbine which eliminates the oscillations and increases the efficiency of the wind turbine.<br />

|Method and system of control of the converter of an electricity generation facility connected to an electricity network in the presence of voltage sags in said network<br />
|Double-fed asynchronous generators are very sensitive to the faults that may arise in the electricity network, such as voltage sags. During the sag conditions the current which appears in said converter may reach very high values, and may even destroy it.<br />
|During the event of a voltage sag occurring, the converter imposes a new set point current which is the result of adding to the previous set point current a new term, called demagnetizing current, It is proportional to a value of free flow of a generator stator. A difference between a value of a magnetic flow in the stator of the generator and a value of a stator flow associated to a direct component of a stator voltage is estimated. A value of a preset calculated difference is multiplied by a factor for producing the demagnetizing current.<br />

|Frequency converter for a double-fed asynchronous generator with variable power output and method for its operation<br />
|Optislip circuit with a resistor is used when speed is above synchronous speed, results in heating the resistor and thus the generator leads to limitation of operation in super synchronous range which results in tower fluctuations.<br />
|Providing a back-to-back converter which contains the inverter circuit has direct current (DC) inputs, DC outputs, and a rotor-rectifier connected to a rotor of a dual feed asynchronous generator. A mains inverter is connected to a power grid, and an intermediate circuit connects one of the DC inputs with the DC outputs. The intermediate circuit has a semiconductor switch between the DC outputs, an intermediate circuit condenser between the DC inputs, and a diode provided between the semiconductor switch and the condenser. Thus the system is allowed for any speed of wind and reduces the tower fluctuations.<br />

|System and method of operating double fed induction generators<br />
|Wind turbines with double fed induction generators are sensitive to grid faults. Conventional methods are not effective to reduce the shaft stress during grid faults and slow response and using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is cost expensive.<br />
|The protection system has a controlled impedance device. Impedance device has bidirectional semiconductors such triac, assembly of thyristors or anti-parallel thyristors. Each of the controlled impedance devices is coupled between a respective phase of a stator winding of a double fed induction generator and a respective phase of a grid side converter. The protection system also includes a controller configured for coupling and decoupling impedance in one or more of the controlled impedance devices in response to changes in utility grid voltage and a utility grid current. High impedance is offered to the grid during network faults to isolate the dual fed wind turbine generator.<br />

===White Space Analysis===<br />
* White-space analysis provides the technology growth and gaps in the technology where further R&D can be done to gain competitive edge and to carry out incremental innovation.<br />
* Dolcera provides White Space Analysis in different dimensions. Based on Product, Market, Method of Use, Capabilities or Application or Business Area and defines the exact categories within the dimension.<br />
* Below table shows a sample representation of white space analysis for controlling DFIG parameters with converters, based on the sample analysis.<br />

** Coca-Cola Amatil has invested heavily in various point-of-sale materials for each of its many formats, especially in support of its new Powerade Fuel<nowiki>+</nowiki> launch<br />
* '''Entry Barrier in Functional Drinks'''<br />
** Private label had not been introduced in functional drinks in Australia by the end of the review period<br />
** Entry barriers remain high due as product efficacy is the key attribute of functional drinks and consumers demand brands which perform as claimed<br />
** Branding, product claims and sports sponsorship are key elements needed to succeed in functional drinks<br />

==Sport & Energy Drinks - Market Prospects==<br />
* As the lifestyles of Australian consumers become more hectic, the demand for beverages which provide rapid energy boosts and effective sustenance will increase<br />
* Energy drinks is set to remain the most convenient and readily available answer to these demands<br />
* In Australia, energy drinks is set to record strong volume and value sales growth over the forecast period as manufacturers invest in marketing, product and pack size innovation and flavor enhancement<br />
* The growth in sports drinks is expected to be slower as it is a more mature type than energy drinks<br />
* In addition, numerous substitutes are available to consumers of sports drinks, such as functional bottled water, fruit/vegetable juice and RTD tea<br />
* Two key threats to forecast growth in energy drinks are: the introduction of private label products; and the association of significant adverse health effects with the excessive consumption of energy drinks, by a credible health authority<br />
* As for sports drinks, a potential threat to growth lies in the introduction of drinks with higher benefits in adjacent categories like concentrates<br />
* Entry barriers will remain high for private label sports and energy drinks in the near future. The technology behind the manufacture of these products and the equity of leading brands create strong barriers for retailers to penetrate<br />

==Energy Drinks - Regulations==<br />
* Energy drinks in Australia are one of the most stringently regulated categories of all the world markets<br />
* Energy drinks are classified as a food and as such are regulated under the Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Code under Standard 2.6.4 Formulated Caffeinated Beverages (FCBs).<br />
* FCBs are non-alcoholic beverages which must contain certain levels of caffeine and this range is between 145mg/L and 320mg/L<br />
* This is comparable to the caffeine levels found in coffee which typically vary from 60-120mg per cup of coffee (approx 240mg-480mg/L)<br />
* Energy drinks must comply with labelling provisions of the Code with regards to contents disclosure, recommended daily usage and advisory statements that the product is not suitable for children, pregnant or lactating women. This is in addition to compliance with the relevant sections of the Competition and Consumer Act (2010)<br />
* These Australian regulations compare to the USA and Europe where there are no limits to the levels of caffeine that can be added to beverages. US regulation does not require any specific labeling of energy drinks and European Union legislation stipulates that products containing more than 150mg/L of caffeine must bear the advisory statement <nowiki>’</nowiki>high caffeine content<nowiki>’</nowiki> followed by the amount of caffeine contained in mg/100mL<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Australian Beverage Council==<br />
The Australian Beverages Council represents over 95% of the non-alcoholic beverage industry in Australia comprising large, medium and small members from across the country. Members of the Beverages Council that manufacture or distribute energy drinks¸ representing 99% of the market<nowiki>’</nowiki>s production volume have all committed to a range of best practice standards over and above legislative requirements. As energy drinks are developed for a mature consumer, all members commit to the following guidelines which relate to the manufacture, distribution and marketing of energy drinks:<br />
<br />
* Energy drinks are not made available in primary nor secondary schools<br />
* Marketing and advertising activities of energy drinks are not directed at children<br />
* No promotional activities are undertaken that encourage excessive consumption of energy drinks<br />
* Labels of energy drinks do not promote the mixing of energy drinks with any other beverage<br />
<br />
<br />
==Energy Drink Consumption Behavior==<br />
* 32% of energy drinks are consumed in the morning, before 11 am<br />
* 90% of energy drinks are consumed before 8pm<br />
<br />
[[Image:ConsumptionDrinks.JPG|center|589*277px|thumb|2010 Energy Drinks Consumption Time - Australia]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Energy Drinks Distribution by Channel==<br />
* 9 out of 10 energy drinks are sold away from licensed venues<br />
* Almost half of all energy drink sales occur in the supermarket<br />
* Petrol Station and Convenience contribute 27% to the total sales<br />
<br />
[[Image:DistributionDrinks.JPG|center|589*277px|thumb|2010 Energy Drink Distribution by Channel - Australia]]<br />
<br />
* But Licensed Venues contribute only 10% to Energy Drink Sales<br />
* Non-alcoholic drinks represent 8% of total licensed premise revenue<br />
* Of the non-alcoholic sales, only 8% are energy drinks<br />
* Consequently only 0.64% of total venue sales are energy drinks of which only a proportion are mixed with alcohol<br />

==Installation and Setup==<br />
The server hardware and software installation steps are described below:<br />
<br />
===Hardware Installation===<br />
The server landscape can be configured with the database and web application running on the same server; alternately, the two can run on different servers. <br />
# Set up a server with the specifications described above<br />
# Ensure the operating system has the latest updates applied to it<br />
# Ensure that both the web server and the database server (if separate) are connected to the network<br />
<br />
===Software Installation===<br />
====Database Server====<br />
The following steps should be performed by a database administrator:<br />
# Configure the database server with the appropriate database version (specified in the [[#Software Requirements|Software Requirements]] section)<br />
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard database setup files (Dolcera_Dashboard_Database_vxxx.zip) to the database server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Unzip the files in a folder of your choice (e.g. /tmp folder)<br />
# Create a new database named ''dolcera'' <br />
# Run the file dolcera_dashboard_setup.sql to create the tables and other database objects: the setup script will also populate the master data for the database, and create a ''dolcerauser'' with privileges to change the data in the database, but not to alter the database; this user account will be used by the web application<br />
<br />
====Web Application Server====<br />
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard installation package (Dolcera_Dashboard_vxxx.zip) to the web application server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Unzip the folder in any directory (e.g. /tmp)<br />
# Move the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder to the virtual machines folder on the web application server (e.g. /var/lib/vmware)<br />
# Create a new vmware virtual machine instance for the Dolcera Dashboard <br />
# Point the new vmware virtual machine instance to the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder<br />
# Set the network preferences for the virtual machine to bridged networking<br />
# Launch the new virtual machine<br />
# Log in with the root password supplied by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Change the database IP address setting as appropriate in the /srv/httpd/htdocs/dashboard/config/config.ini file<br />

The server landscape can be configured with the database and web application running on the same server; alternately, the two can run on different servers. <br />
# Set up a server with the specifications described above<br />
# Ensure the operating system has the latest updates applied to it<br />
# Ensure that both the web server and the database server (if separate) are connected to the network<br />
<br />
===Software Installation===<br />
====Database Server====<br />
The following steps should be performed by a database administrator:<br />
# Configure the database server with the appropriate database version (specified in the [[#Software Requirements|Software Requirements]] section)<br />
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard database setup files (Dolcera_Dashboard_Database_vxxx.zip) to the database server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Unzip the files in a folder of your choice (e.g. /tmp folder)<br />
# Create a new database named ''dolcera'' <br />
# Run the file dolcera_dashboard_setup.sql to create the tables and other database objects: the setup script will also populate the master data for the database, and create a ''dolcerauser'' with privileges to change the data in the database, but not to alter the database; this user account will be used by the web application<br />
<br />
====Web Application Server====<br />
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard installation package (Dolcera_Dashboard_vxxx.zip) to the web application server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Unzip the folder in any directory (e.g. /tmp)<br />
# Move the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder to the virtual machines folder on the web application server (e.g. /var/lib/vmware)<br />
# Create a new vmware virtual machine instance for the Dolcera Dashboard <br />
# Point the new vmware virtual machine instance to the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder<br />
# Set the network preferences for the virtual machine to bridged networking<br />
# Launch the new virtual machine<br />
# Log in with the root password supplied by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Change the database IP address setting as appropriate in the /srv/httpd/htdocs/dashboard/config/config.ini file<br />
# Assign a fixed IP address for the vmware instance and note this IP address<br />
# Once the software installation is complete, log into the application:<br />
#* URL: http://''ipaddress_of_web_application_server''/auth/<br />
#* Username: admin<br />
#* Password: admin (you will be able to change the password thereafter)<br />
<br />
===Setting up the Environment===<br />
* Log into the URL as an administrator as described above<br />
* Click on the link to the "Admin Interface"<br />
* Create a new project<br />
* Create a new group and assign the project to this group<br />
* Create a new user and assign this user to the new group<br />
* Create a new dashboard and add the dashboard to the project<br />
<br />
===Best Practices===<br />
====Server Setup====<br />
# The vmware virtual machine based installation of the web application server is designed for ease of installation and management<br />
# If vmware is not preferred, a different installer will be provided to run the web application directly on the server operating system<br />
# Apply the latest database and operating system patches on the servers<br />
# Change the admin password at regular intervals<br />
# Set up the database for backup on a nightly basis<br />
====User Management====<br />
# Remove users once they leave the company <br />
# Assign access to dashboard workfiles to users individually<br />
# Limit the access for the administrator role for different workfiles to a limited set of users</div>Raiyanihttps://www.dolcera.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Export.png&diff=10486File:Export.png2012-04-11T23:28:59Z<p>Raiyani: </p>

==Deployment Architecture==<br />
[[Image:Deployment Architecture.png|thumb|center|502px|Dolcera Dashboard Deployment Architecture]]<br />
<br />
==Hardware Requirements==<br />
As seen in the deployment architecture diagram, the typical deployment environment for the Dolcera Dashboard application consists of two main servers:<br />
# Server running the Dolcera Dashboard web application<br />
# Database server running PostgreSQL or Oracle database running the dashboard database<br />
===Web Application Server===<br />
The Dolcera Dashboard requires the following application server configuration:<br />
* 64-bit server<br />
* 4-core processor with a minimum speed of 2 GHz<br />
* Ethernet card<br />
* Minimum memory configuration: 8GB DDR3 RAM<br />
* Minimum disk requirement: 2TB hard disk<br />
<br />
===Database Server===<br />
* Per client database server standards<br />
===Network===<br />
* The bandwidth to client devices offered by the web application server should be at least 10Mbps<br />
* The connection between the web application server and the database server should be at least 100Mbps<br />
* A continuous network connection is required between the user's device and the web application server, and between the web application server and the database server<br />
<br />
===Client Device===<br />
* The client application runs on any device that supports an Adobe Flash-enabled web browser<br />
* A desktop or laptop computer with 1GB of available memory, any operating system (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac OS) and a high-speed Internet connection will be capable of running the Dolcera Dashboard application<br />
* A 1Mbps or faster network connection to the server will be sufficient to run the application<br />
<br />
==Software Requirements==<br />
The Dolcera Dashboard application is a PHP web application that runs on the Apache web server with PHP5, and connects to a PostgreSQL or Oracle database. The client application is a Flash application running inside the web browser.<br />
===Web Application Server===<br />
* Operating system: Linux<br />
* Web server: Apache with support for PHP5<br />
The web application server typically runs inside a vmware Virtual Machine running on any host operating system supported by vmware.<br />
===Database Server===<br />
* Database: PostgreSQL 8 or higher; or Oracle 10 or higher<br />
===Client===<br />
* Operating system: Windows, Linux, Mac OS (or others)<br />
* Web browser: Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera<br />
* Adobe Flash Player 10 or higher<br />
<br />
==Installation and Setup==<br />
The server hardware and software installation steps are described below:<br />
<br />
===Hardware Installation===<br />
The server landscape can be configured with the database and web application running on the same server; alternately, the two can run on different servers. <br />
# Set up a server with the specifications described above<br />
# Ensure the operating system has the latest updates applied to it<br />
# Ensure that both the web server and the database server (if separate) are connected to the network<br />
<br />
===Software Installation===<br />
====Database Server====<br />
The following steps should be performed by a database administrator:<br />
# Configure the database server with the appropriate database version (specified in the [[#Software Requirements|Software Requirements]] section)<br />
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard database setup files (Dolcera_Dashboard_Database_vxxx.zip) to the database server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Unzip the files in a folder of your choice (e.g. /tmp folder)<br />
# Create a new database named ''dolcera'' <br />
# Run the file dolcera_dashboard_setup.sql to create the tables and other database objects: the setup script will also populate the master data for the database, and create a ''dolcerauser'' with privileges to change the data in the database, but not to alter the database; this user account will be used by the web application<br />
<br />
====Web Application Server====<br />
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard installation package (Dolcera_Dashboard_vxxx.zip) to the web application server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Unzip the folder in any directory (e.g. /tmp)<br />
# Move the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder to the virtual machines folder on the web application server (e.g. /var/lib/vmware)<br />
# Create a new vmware virtual machine instance for the Dolcera Dashboard <br />
# Point the new vmware virtual machine instance to the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder<br />
# Set the network preferences for the virtual machine to bridged networking<br />
# Launch the new virtual machine<br />
# Log in with the root password supplied by the Dolcera representative<br />
# Change the database IP address setting as appropriate in the /srv/httpd/htdocs/dashboard/config/config.ini file<br />
<br />
===Configuration Parameters===<br />
Once the software installation is complete, log into the application:<br />
URL: http://localhost/auth/<br />
Username: admin<br />
Password: admin (you will be able to change the password thereafter)<br />
<br />
===Setting up Users===<br />
===Best Practices===<br />
# Latest database and web server patches<br />
# Change the admin password<br />
# Database backup and recovery options<br />
#<br />
