The Generator Scorecard, developed by PNNL in partnership with BPA, automates generator evaluations, reducing engineering workloads and improving grid reliability.

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

PNNL computing experts Robert Rallo and Court Corley contribute their knowledge to a recent DOE report on applications of AI to energy, materials, and the power grid.

Through collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security Soft Target Engineering to Neutralize the Threat Reality Center of Excellence, PNNL is advancing research and development of tools and methodologies to protect crowded places.

Recovery Simulator and Analysis tool further strengthens PNNL’s short-term resilience planning efforts for Puerto Rico.

PNNL’s ARENA test bed analyzes how electrical cables degrade in extreme environments and how nondestructive examination inspection technologies can detect and locate damage.

ExaGO, a power grid simulation and optimization platform developed at PNNL is the first of its kind to run on Frontier.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

COVID-19 had multiple impacts on the electric sector and the nature of those impacts varied on the scale analyzed.
