Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things Testbed

Ongoing
Objective - To develop general design principles useful to all cyber-physical systems testbed developers and the co-simulation community; to develop specific design concepts to guide the development, operation, and evolution of NIST’s IoT/CPS testbed; and to establish a cross-sector IoT/CPS testbed

Synchrophasor Networks for Grid monitoring

Completed
It is well accepted that the Smart Grid will employ a variety of networking technologies. Although there has been tremendous advancement in networking technologies from an architectural point of view, those for smart grid applications need to be designed to ensure a high degree of reliability, self

Collaborative Microgrid for Smart Buildings

Completed
Currently, the idea of designing collaborative smart buildings is becoming a real challenge. Indeed, the emergence of smart grids and the growing use of smart household appliances is the main driving force behind the use of demand side management. This would require developing an efficient control

Spectrum Tracking in Power Grid Systems

Completed
The increasing deployment of residential renewables and an extensive use of nonlinear devices in the distribution system can produce undesirable harmonic distortions. Such distortions can severely impact phase/frequency estimation in power systems, especially distributed grid systems. For grid
