October 24-26, 2022

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will be at the GridFWD Conference from October 24–26 in Denver, Colorado!

With the focus “Ensuring a Resilient 21st Century Energy System,” GridFWD 2022 will bring together a wide range of energy leaders to explore and advance federal resources and regional developments to harden the grid from disruptions and facilitate a smooth energy transition. 

Themes within our focus on grid resiliency include: Advanced Forecasting, Real-time Data and Analytics, Integrated Planning, and Grid Hardening Deployments. These themes align with the testimony Grid Forward provided in the grid resiliency Senate Hearing last fall.  

There will be cross-cutting conversations in areas includingwildfire mitigation, cybersecurity, regional market developments,and others.

LET’S TALK!

Come by the PNNL booth #26 and learn how we are taking on the toughest challenges presented by grid modernization. As a national leader with deep scientific knowledge and technical resources, we are defining the modern grid for the 21st century. Ask us:

  • how we play a leading role in developing a power grid that enables real-time predictive operation to improve reliability and efficiency;
  • about advanced controls that engage new devices and enable new services at scale while ensuring resilience;
  • for information on new approaches and technologies we are a real-time player in, such as energy storage, microgrids, and transactive energy; and
  • how we are advancing the next generation of grid energy storage technologies with our Grid Storage Launchpad opening in late 2023.
