NIST Programs to Advance Accurate, Internationally-Recognized Stack Emissions Measurements

September 15, 2016
Author(s)
Aaron Johnson, Iosif Isaakovich Shinder, Rodney A. Bryant, JohnPaul R. Abbott, Keith A. Gillis, Joey Boyd, James Filla, Michael R. Moldover
Accurate flow measurements are essential to quantify the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants emitted from power plant stacks. Although protocols have been developed, the uncertainty of stack flow measurements has not been documented. 

2014 NIST Assessment of Phasor Measurement Unit Performance

February 9, 2016
Author(s)
Allen R. Goldstein
The first synchrophasor standard was published in 1995. The standard was revised in 2001, 2005, 2011, and 2014 with evolving performance requirements. In 2012 NIST began assessing the performance of PMUs, both commercially available and pre-production

Measurement Challenges and Metrology for Monitoring CO2 Emissions from Smokestacks Workshop Summary

January 20, 2016
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson, Rodney A. Bryant, Tamae M. Wong, James R. Whetstone, Eric Harman, Woong Kang, Keith A. Gillis, Hsin-Hung Lee, Iosif I. Shinder, Liang Zhang
On April 20-21, 2015, NIST hosted a workshop that, through measurement science, enabled the owners of stationary sources (primarily the electric power industry) and their regulatory agencies (federal and state) to better characterize greenhouse gas (GHG)

Investigation of PMU Response to Leap Second: 2015

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Allen R. Goldstein, Dhananjay Anand, YaShian Li-Baboud
Between 22:30:00 June 30, 2015, and 00:30:00 July 2, 2015, UTC, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tested eight Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to investigate their response to the leap second adjustment to UTC which occurred

On Effectiveness of Smart Grid Applications using Co-simulation

August 6, 2015
Author(s)
Paul Moulema, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie
The smart grid is a complex system that comprises components from both the power grid and communication networks. To understand the behavior of such a complex system, co-simulation is a viable tool to capture the interaction and the reciprocal effects

Design and Capabilities of NISTs Scale-Model Smokestack Simulator (SMSS)

April 17, 2015
Author(s)
Aaron N. Johnson, Joey T. Boyd, Eric Harman, Mohammad M. Khalil, Jacob E. Ricker, Christopher J. Crowley, Rodney A. Bryant, Iosif I. Shinder
The amount of CO 2 emitted from a coal-fired power plant (CFPP) is measured by continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) permanently installed in the exhaust smokestack. Both the CO 2 concentration and the bulk flow are continuously measured by CEMS

On Cascading Failures and Countermeasure based on Energy Storage in the Smart Grid

October 8, 2014
Author(s)
Xing Chen, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Nada T. Golmie, Guobin Xu, Chao Lu
Recently, there are growing concerns about smart grid security and resilience. The performance of smart grid may suffer from component failures or targeted attacks. A sophisticated adversary may target critical components in a smart grid, leading to

An Integrated Detection System Against False Data Injection Attacks in the Smart Grid

March 4, 2014
Author(s)
Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Linqiang Ge, Sulabh Bhattarai, Nada T. Golmie
The smart grid is a new type of power grid that will use the advanced communication network technologies to support more efficient energy transmission and distribution. The grid infrastructure was designed for reliability; but security, especially against

Testing Phasor Measurement Units Using IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol

July 1, 2012
Author(s)
Julien M. Amelot, Gerard Stenbakken
As the electric power grid is changing to a smarter more dynamically controlled system, there is increasing need for measurements that show the global status of the system for wide-area monitoring and control. These measurements require time

ACCELERATING STANDARDS AND MEASUREMENTS FOR THE SMART GRID

July 12, 2011
Author(s)
David A. Wollman
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has efforts underway to accelerate the international development of interoperability standards to support the future modernized “Smart Grid” electric grid or energy delivery network characterized by

NIST COORDINATION OF SMART GRID INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS

August 9, 2010
Author(s)
David A. Wollman, Gerald FitzPatrick, Paul A. Boynton, Thomas L. Nelson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has efforts underway to accelerate the development of interoperability standards to support the future modernized "Smart Grid" electric grid or energy delivery network characterized by a two-way flow of
