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
With the increase of fluctuating renewable resources both on the grid and locally on buildings, a need arises for buildings to be flexible such that its energy demand can be modified to match energy generation. This study aims to characterize key

Exhaust flows from coal-fired electricity-generating-plants are determined by measuring the flue gas velocity at prescribed points in the stack cross section. These velocity measurements are made using EPA-approved differential pressure probes such as the
Slide deck introducing the EV Fleet Charging: Managing Power Flows Today and Tomorrow session, in Track 2 of the ISGT conference, presented Feb 19, 2020, Washington, D.C.
For homes to become active participants in a smart grid, intelligent control algorithms are needed to facilitate autonomous interactions that take homeowner preferences into consideration. Many control algorithms for demand response have been proposed in
The Smart Grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the electric grid into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency. It uses two-way communications, digital technologies, advanced sensing and computing infrastructure, and software
New smart grid architectures, devices, systems, and applications require extensive data exchange, necessitating well-defined interfaces to transfer and translate this data across the grid. Clarifying the protocols and data performance requirements across

From September to November 2018, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) partnered with the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) to hold a series of roundtable meetings to support the revision of its Framework
This paper presents a novel reference governor scheme for overshoot mitigation in a tracking control system. Our proposed scheme, referred to as the Reference Governor with DynamicConstraint (RG-DC), recasts the overshoot mitigation problem as a constraint
Technological change in the electric power sector has progressed rapidly and there now is need for the development and evaluation of new smart grid architectures. This special publication discusses the current conditions of the U.S. electric grid and the
The purpose of the paper is to provide a look into the lessons learned through the roll-out of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and U.S. Department of Energy Green Button electricity, natural gas, and water data-access initiative: to
Accurate time is frequently cited as an enabling requirement for precisely coordinated control systems used in the electrical power system. Methods and technologies to evaluate the impact of impaired time accuracy on these control systems are frequently
