DOE Total Funding: $2,848,785
Cost Share: $712,809
Project Term: June 1, 2020 – June 1, 2023
Funding Type: Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers & Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) 2019 FOA
Project Objective
The research team will research, develop, and demonstrate an advanced real-time resilient building platform with cyber-attack-immune capabilities through multilayer prevention, detection, and adaptation. This platform will be deployable for legacy and emerging Building Automation Systems (BAS). This platform, called the CYber Defense and REsilient System (CYDRES), consists of five modules: 1) network analyzer, 2) automatic fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis (AFDDP), 3) intelligent mode selector with impact analysis, 4) cyber-resilient operation through adaptive controls, and 5) cyber situation awareness platform. CYDRES is being demonstrated in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbeds and a real building on the Texas A&M campus.
Project Impact
This project will address both improved energy efficiency in buildings and cyber security through automated fault detection and diagnostics.
