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

Power Quality Measurements and Fault Detection and Identification

Completed
Traditionally, disturbance detection relies on customer calls to the utility and through the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. A major disadvantage of SCADA is that the measurements are not synchronized, which means that the fault detection process is not precise or timely

Smart Grid Communications

Completed
Currently, the Smart Grid faces challenges in terms of reliability and security in both wired and wireless communication environments. The most important challenge is a lack of communication network infrastructure, which is a key factor in supporting the grid monitoring system. In the absence of any

Smart Grid Interoperability Testbed Facility

Ongoing
Objective - To develop and progress an advanced multi-mode interacting measurement testbed that leverage cross-OU expertise to facilitate implementation, validation, and full characterization of smart grid interoperability standards and smart grid performance, with a particular emphasis on DER

Smart Grid Wireless Network Security

Completed
Wireless local area networks (WLAN) can be deployed in various smart grid domains, such as the home area network (NAN), neighborhood area network (NAN), and substation area network (SAN). They offer a cost effective solution when compared with other wired or wireless options. However, to overcome

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

State Estimation for Uncertain Power Systems

Completed
The deployment of renewable resources in distributed grid systems poses a set of new challenges mainly due to their variability and dependency on climate parameters, which can have a major impact on the system parameters that are needed to measure power flow and state estimation. More precisely, a

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

Wireless M2M Network For Power Grid

Completed
In conventional transmission systems, wired sensor technologies are largely used in power plants and substations to control and monitor critical parameters. The distribution system does not normally have the support of any infrastructure network. Despite the fact that wired technologies offer a good
