AI-Optimized Building Controls

Ongoing
Objective Demonstrate the feasibility of practical AI control techniques for reducing the energy costs of operating HVAC systems in commercial buildings and create a research infrastructure, the Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) and Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed (VCBT), suitable...

Automated Vehicles and AV Communications

Ongoing
Automated vehicles (AVs), or Automated Driving Systems-equipped (ADS-equipped) vehicles, have great potential to improve our lives by freeing us from the stress of driving and reducing accidents caused by distractions or poor judgement. Connected, reliable, and safe AVs will spark significant...

AI for Building Systems Innovation (AIBSI) Program

Ongoing
Objective To develop and deploy advances in measurement science that will improve building operations to ensure cyber-secure facilities, system reliability, occupant comfort/safety and lower operating costs through AI-enabled building systems. What is the problem? Buildings are complex systems of...

Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things Program

Ongoing
Objective - Enable scalable, dependable design methods and reproducible performance measurement for effective and trustworthy (reliable, safe, secure, resilient and privacy-enhancing) cyber-physical systems and IoT, by means of new measurement science, advanced testing and assurance capabilities and...

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things for Smart Cities

Ongoing
Objective - To provide the measurement science and standards-based foundations for interoperable, replicable, scalable, and trustworthy cyber-physical systems that can be readily and cost-effectively deployed by cities and communities of all types and sizes to improve their efficiency...

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...

Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things Foundations

Ongoing
Objective - To provide a common technical and conceptual foundation for CPS and IoT that enables conceptualization, realization and assurance across all domains, including a comprehensive and traceable methodology for meeting all stakeholder concerns throughout any systems engineering process and...

Cybersecurity for Building Systems

Ongoing
Objective Develop the building services cybersecurity application profiles and guidance needed by building owners, designers, manufacturers and others involved in the lifecycle of the building, to understand threats, risks, countermeasures and governance approach and to ensure cyber-secure...

Industrial Artificial Intelligence Management and Metrology (IAIMM)

Ongoing
IAIMM has identified IAI systems for decision making, planning, and control in manufacturing as a prime candidate for better Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) centered on both use and evaluation. The specific use case of multi-stage manufacturing presents a broad scope of application to...

NIST Automated Vehicles Program

Ongoing
Measurement science and standards are needed to support the safe and predictable operation of future automated vehicles (AVs), which have great potential to significantly impact our daily lives and improve the competitiveness of our economy. A FY22 NIST Strategic and Emerging Research Initiatives...

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...

Reliability of Mechanical Systems in Buildings

Ongoing
Objective To develop AI-assisted Fault-Detection and Diagnostic tools for reliability and operating cost savings of residential air conditioners (ACs), heat pumps (HPs), and mechanical systems of large commercial buildings. Technical Idea NIST will develop and demonstrate cloud-based FDD methods for...

Reliable, High Performance Wireless Systems for Factory Automation

Completed
With the emergence of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Smart Manufacturing Systems provide a vision of future manufacturing that incorporate highly dynamic physical systems, robust and responsive communications systems, and computing paradigms to maximize efficiency, enable mobility...

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 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...

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...
