Research Areas
The TCIP initiative has four primary research areas.
- Secure and Reliable Computing Base - Software, hardware and firmware security functionality for control system devices and applications to prevent malicious attacks and accidental faults. Some projects underway are a security co-processor for efficient crypto processing and adding security features to a sample meter.
- Communication and Control Protocols - Design of the next generation control protocol with security.
- Quantitative and Qualitative Validation - Develop ways to model, simulate, emulate and experiment systems and subsystems on the electric grid for the purpose of testing and validating other research proposals.
- Education - Develop courseware on energy.

Published Results
- Over 20 one-page project summaries for research initiatives
- About 20 research papers
- Two computer based training modules to teach middle school and high school students about power, energy and the grid.
