Considering Interoperability for Electric Vehicle Charging: A Commission Case Study

March 13, 2023
Author(s)
Cuong Nguyen, Avi Gopstein, Danielle Sass Byrnett, Kerry Worthington, Christopher Villarreal
As adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) increases across the United States and charging equipment to power vehicles is installed, the electricity system, states, utilities, EV manufacturers, EV supply equipment (EVSE) manufacturers, and stakeholders are

Generator Fleet Characteristics Model

February 6, 2023
Author(s)
Cheyney O'Fallon, Avi Gopstein
This manuscript presents the Generator Fleet Characteristics Model (GFCM), a general purpose tool for the analysis of power system operations, economics, and resilience. The GFCM is a collection of MATLAB functions that use publicly available data with

Benefits of Smart Grid Interoperability

December 8, 2022
Author(s)
Avi Gopstein, Cuong Nguyen, Cameron Brooks, Michael Hughes, Marguerite Behringer, Wendy Klarman, Chris Villarreal, Danielle Sass Byrnett
The electricity grid is changing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has indicated that operating a modern grid will involve a diverse portfolio of energy resources and multiple economic structures that will rely on, and ultimately

IEC 61850 Profile for Distributed Energy Resources Supporting IEEE 1547

May 4, 2022
Author(s)
Hasan Giray Oral, DJ Anand, Cuong Nguyen, Avi Gopstein, Christoph Brunner, Alexander Apostolov
This document provides an IEC 61850 profile for a Distributed Energy Resource supporting IEEE 1547 and the grid support functions therein. The profile utilizes the IEC 61850 data object model and maps the requirements of IEEE 1547 to the data object model

Towards An Adaptive Time-Triggered Protocol in Wireless Networks

October 19, 2021
Author(s)
Jin Zhang, Fan Liang, Wei Yu, David W. Griffith, Wenqi Guo, Avi Gopstein
Time sensitive activities occur extensively in industrial Internet of Things (IoT) environments. Classical time-triggered protocols in wired networks, such as Ethernet, have been proven effective in supporting real-time and safety-critical communications
