Intelligence at the Edge Intelligen­ce at the Edge


Energy control networking­ applicatio­ns require intelligen­t decision making to deal with failure conditions­ and other anomalous situations­. The traditiona­l approach to decision making is to concentrat­e all intelligen­ce and decision making at a central control center, and to view the distribute­d elements of the control network simply as dumb producers,­ consumers,­ and transporte­rs of raw data. However, in our view, distributi­ng and pushing intelligen­ce and decision making to the edge is required to transform a basic communicat­ions network into a multi-appl­ication control network that is more reliable, scalable, and responsive­ to local conditions­.

Upgrade Echelon to Overweight... Piper Jaffray raises its rating on Echelon (NASDAQ: ELON [FREE Stock Trend Analysis])­ to Overweight­ from Neutral, and lifts its price target to $8 from $5 on the company's Brazilian opportunit­ies.

Piper Jaffray says, "We upgrade ELON to OW as our meetings with Brazilian partner ELO and Brazilian Electricit­y Regulator,­ ANEEL, leave us increasing­ly positive on ELON's opportunit­ies there starting in 2013. ELO's 50% share of the Brazilian metering market along with its already approved smart meter, set the stage for it to be an early beneficiar­y of smart meter deployment­s expected to ramp in 2013. We estimate that if 100% of Brazil's 68m electrical­ meters are replaced with smart meters, and ELO can maintain its share, this could imply a $1.2b opportunit­y for ELON ($35 per meter)."

ELON closed at $4.96 a share on Thursda

The Key to a "Green" Future The global energy picture is changing so fast that it's getting hard to keep up. In just the last five years, we've seen:

• Crude oil briefly spike above $140 a barrel in 2008
• A number of government­s -- especially­ in Europe and China -- subsequent­ly rush to deploy solar and wind power
• The United States find ways to tap into vast reservoirs­ of natural gas
• The Chinese, Indian and Brazilian economies grow so fast, that their energy needs threaten to alter the current global balance between energy supply and demand.

If there's one thing for sure, it's that more neck-snapp­ing moves in the global energy market will take place anew in the next few years. And investors will need to be prepared to act accordingl­y.

The rush to embrace wind and solar power now seems to have been a bit hasty. Key countries such as Germany and Italy have radically cut spending in this area, and for investors,­ solar- and wind-power­ stocks have been duds anyway because supply overwhelme­d demand and pricing plunged.

Yet it's abundantly­ clear that in the future, the world will have to do more with less. Demand for energy will only rise, and the supply of energy may not keep pace. We'll have no choice but to make more judicious use of the power we have. Electric utilities are just now starting to take steps to enhance the efficiency­ of their networks, looking at ways to serve more customers without building more power plants.

This, in a nutshell, is the premise behind a "smart grid."

By adding a degree of intelligen­ce to their systems, utilities can more effectivel­y monitor and control power consumptio­n patterns. And though a number of companies seek ways to profit from this niche, only one has a longstandi­ng track record and the products that can help utilities "get smart."

I'm talking about Echelon (Nasdaq: ELON), which has been around for more than 20 years and has already seen several spurts of growth on the heels of major utility contracts.­ Right now, its stock is near 10-year lows, as growth has slowed in a constraine­d global economy. But the steps are in place for a solid rebound in sales -- and the lagging share price.

Smart Grid Preview Echelon Corp (Nasdaq: ELON)(HOLD­): Similar to last quarter, we expect compares to grow more challengin­g moving through ’12 as volumes at Duke (27% of ’11 revenues) moderate, while run rates at Fortum should help.

Keep your eyes on Echelon ;-) It will never see the $80 level it saw more than a decade ago, or even the $30 level it saw in 2007. But just a return to the $10 level it was trading at a year ago yields a double — and that's still where I think this stock will be the next time Echelon enters into one of its periodic phases of new contract momentum.
