This white paper highlights a recent mapping effort between the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Mappings of these two frameworks have been
Customers and transactive energy (TE) market managers may rely on load forecasting algorithms to purchase or sell power in a forward market environment, using day-ahead and real-time pricing structures. Accurate load forecasting becomes necessary when a
Due to the increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into the national grid, research is needed to understand high DER penetration in relation to grid reliability and stability. Emulation-based research is a viable option to consider

This report outlines NIST's validation tools, developed to help address the smart grid'semergent needs and complement research and standards coordination efforts. Rapid ad-vances have enabled an opportunity for the grid to autonomously and simultaneously
To address changes taking place in the grid, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published an update to its Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards. This fourth release of the Smart Grid Framework addresses

Utilities and local power providers throughout the world have recognized the advantages of the "smart grid" to encourage consumers to engage in greater energy efficiency. The digitalization of electricity and the consumer interface enables utilities to
This document provides a business and technical approach to integrate and coordinate electric vehicle (EV) charging within distribution areas and across a balancing area. Integrating behind-the- meter (BTM) resources provides a powerful tool to support

Based on the data from U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the total annual energy consumed by buildings in the United States has increased by 325% over the past 70 years. Many commercial buildings utilize a building management system (BMS) and
Electrical harmonics associated with switching power electronics have been observed to induce electromagnetic interference with equipment sharing the same electrical circuit, some research studies have documented cases of malfunction and even damage of
Automated systems for network protection, outage management, and restoration enable utilities to maintain service continuity through network reconfiguration even when confronted with a major hurricane. We employ a reduced form approach to evaluate the
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been working with industry and academia to develop algorithms and technologies to improve the resilience of timing subsystems used in high-performance sensing and control hardware. Resilience
